Well, I consider glibc to be a critical base component, so I decided to
stick with a stable 2.14.1 release atleast for now.
I dunno if this might be related to the new version, but I just bought a
new laptop and installed Cauldron (now upto date), but I cannot compile
the Realtek driver I downloaded for the wifi device:
When running 'make' I get all kinds of warnings like:
base.c...warning .. expects type .. long unsigned, but argument 5 has
type ...int... Error 2
Maybe it is completely unrelated, if so sorry for the noise.
It's more likely you have sources that dont support kernel-3.1 series.
What hw is this?
Are you sure the kernel cant support it directly ?
lspcidrake -v output would/could help...
It is a Realtek Semiconductor device 8176
lspcidrake -v |grep rtl
rtl8192ce: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.|Device 8176 [NETWORK_OTHER]
(vendor:10ec device:8176 subv:10ec subd:9196) (rev: 01)
lsmod shows it's there, but configuring it is a headache till now, so I
tried to build drivers anew I found at Realtek for Linux....
Perhaps I need the dkms-r8192se package... Trying now!
Nope.
That package will be obsoleted by core kernel when all kernels are at
3.1 series as the driver is added upstream.
