Bug#619051: linux-2.6: Missing Realtek 8188CE pcie wifi support (rtlwifi/rtl8192ce module not built)
Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.38-1 Severity: wishlist Summary: Please enable the new rtlwifi/rtl8192ce drivers in the kernel build config. Full version: I'm sending this email from my wireless Thinkpad Edge using my own rebuild of the linux-image-2.6.38-1-amd64 package with just those two additional modules enabled and the firmware from the linux-firmware git repository in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin. My system runs Linux Mint Debian Edition, but it should apply to all Testing/Unstable systems with the Realtek 8188CE pcie wifi adapter and this kernel. I added the following lines to debian/config/config before building: ~/build > diff -Naur config-default config-rtl8192ce --- config-default 2011-03-20 12:26:00.576309324 +0100 +++ config-rtl8192ce2011-03-20 12:40:51.117677926 +0100 @@ -1997,6 +1997,12 @@ CONFIG_RTL8187=m ## +## file: drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/Kconfig +## +CONFIG_RTL8192CE=m +CONFIG_RTLWIFI=m + +## ## file: drivers/net/wireless/wl1251/Kconfig ## CONFIG_WL1251=m Please also refer to #613536 for information about the corresponding firmware missing from the firmware-realtek package.

Bug#613536: firmware-realtek: Please include the binary firmware for Realtek
Perhaps it is easier or better to grab the rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin firmware from the linux-firmware repository: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=summary The corresponding license is included there as LICENCE.rtlwifi_firmware.txt . I've been happily using it for weeks with compat-wireless and linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 on my Thinkpad with Linux Mint Debian Edition. Further details at: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkPad_11b/g/n_Wireless_LAN_Mini-PCI_Express_Adapter_III Recent Dell Minis feature this wifi adapter, too, so I guess it is or will become quite common. I'm just about to switch to the 2.6.38 kernel which includes the corresponding rtl8192ce driver, but unfortunately it is not enabled in the Debian unstable package, yet. However, my manual rebuild of that package with the module enabled works well so far, so maybe I just need to send a request for it.

Bug#559035: linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64: Random segfaults with lenny amd64 kernel
Package: linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 Version: 2.6.26-19lenny2 Followup-For: Bug #559035 Just a 'me too' on the plain kernel version. Some way along the upgrade path [UPGRADE] linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 2.6.26-17 -> 2.6.26-17lenny2 [UPGRADE] linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 2.6.26-17lenny2 -> 2.6.26-19 [UPGRADE] linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 2.6.26-19 -> 2.6.26-19lenny1 [UPGRADE] linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 2.6.26-19lenny1 -> 2.6.26-19lenny2 I started getting random python segfaults in the log (see log below). There are no additional trace lines in my log, though. All of them are from 5 different python cgi scripts out of a bigger set, and apparently they succeed without segfault most of the time. Actually the segfaults seem to happen only once in every 1 or more tries. All the scripts do file I/O, but do not use any exotic python modules. The simplest one I've seen fail is available from: http://code.google.com/p/migrid/source/browse/trunk/mig/cgi-sid/isjobactive.py It is a production server, but please inform me if there is anything I can test without too much down-time. -- Package-specific info: ** Version: Linux version 2.6.26-2-amd64 (Debian 2.6.26-19lenny2) (da...@debian.org) (gcc version 4.1.3 20080704 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-25)) #1 SMP Thu Nov 5 02:23:12 UTC 2009 ** Command line: root=/dev/md0 ro quiet ** Not tainted ** Kernel log: Dec 12 05:20:54 distlab4 kernel: [411461.235540] statusexe.py[30663]: segfault at 7fff26345a68 ip 4d0e33 sp 7fff26345a70 error 6 in python2.5[40+125000] Dec 12 07:58:00 distlab4 kernel: [420908.288898] jobstatus.py[27020]: segfault at 7fff83701fc8 ip 4a256b sp 7fff83701fb0 error 6 in python2.5[40+125000] Dec 12 09:18:26 distlab4 kernel: [425739.243068] statusexe.py[24938]: segfault at 765a9b98 ip 4ae07b sp 765a9ba0 error 6 in python2.5[40+125000] Dec 12 10:17:39 distlab4 kernel: [429296.675477] put[16603]: segfault at 7fff420cde68 ip 4ae07b sp 7fff420cde70 error 6 in python2.5[40+125000] Dec 12 11:44:45 distlab4 kernel: [434530.111503] put[19119]: segfault at 7fff04847e78 ip 4abd33 sp 7fff04847e80 error 6 in python2.5[40+125000] -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.92o tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.4-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64 recommends no packages.

Bug#504167: T60
The bug appears to also be fixed with the latest -11~snapshot on my T60 with ATI Radeon X1400 (radeonhd driver) running Lenny: sys_product = "2007FTG" bios_version = "79ETE3WW (2.23)" Yesterday I tested quite a bit with 2.6.26-10 and never managed to get past 8 resumes before hitting the 'black screen with cursor' hang. After upgrading to the snapshot, I'm now past 20 resumes in a row with different levels of interaction and docking setup and still no hangs. Well done!
