Re: [ubuntu-uk] ENE Technology Inc SD/MMC Card Reader Controller
Hey Neil, I tried that process and not only did the WiFi still not work but the SD reader didn't work with the revised custom kernel either (I used menuconfig to configure it). I guess I should give up on my SD reader and buy another one (this one being external) off of Amazon or something. It looks like there's little hope of getting this one to work without the fix being applied to the generic kernel by Ubuntu/kernel staff (whoever is responsible for it).

The options for the installed generic kernels are stored in /boot/config-. You can copy this file into the kernel's configuration file (IIRC, it's /.config, but look at the dot-files in that directory to be sure), then 'make menuconfig' or 'make xconfig' to configure the options for your card reader. Don't change anything else and hopefully the wireless will still work. I haven't build a kernel for a few years, and I've never used the X configuration GUI, so I might have the actual commands wrong. However, the basic principles are right.

Nothing about wireless there. Did you make sure that you used the same set-up options as the generic kernel? If you've missed a module, or compiled something as a module when it was built-in previously, this could break something. Either that, or you are missing another patch for the wireless driver that was included in the generic Ubuntu kernel. Did you download the kernel source from kernel.org, or get it from the Ubuntu repositories? If you didn't do the latter, this may be why wireless isn't working, since you're not including the Ubuntu patches. > I heard that custom kernel's break proprietary drivers but as I seem > to be using none I don't know what the problem is with my WiFi.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] ENE Technology Inc SD/MMC Card Reader Controller
Hey Neil, I managed to patch it manually and it compiled. My SD reader seems to work in the new kernel but it isn't auto-mounted and, so far, I've failed to mount it. When I put the SD card into the reader the system definitely does something now, which it doesn't on the generic kernel. However, my kernel broke my wireless. Without that the kernel is pretty useless and so I've gone back to the generic kernel. Any idea how I can fix my wireless? I don't know how to get the Wireless information but, as far as Ubuntu's Restricted Drivers Manager says, my only proprietary driver (which I don't have enabled) is a "Software Modem Driver". Nothing about wireless there. I heard that custom kernel's break proprietary drivers but as I seem to be using none I don't know what the problem is with my WiFi. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

If a patch is released stating a particular kernel version number, it will almost definitely apply to the stated version (depends on vendor patches, etc.). It may well apply to a later version, but there are no guarantees, since lines included in the patch may have changed between the kernel versions. Sometimes it won't apply automatically, but if there aren't too many changes in the patch you might be able to manually edit the file to apply the changes. Good luck!

[ubuntu-uk] ENE Technology Inc SD/MMC Card Reader Controller
Hey guys (and girls), I had a major problem with Feisty. My in-built SD reader was unsupported. So I waited eagerly for Gutsy hoping that it would be supported but to no avail. lspci -v returns: http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/479 I'm pretty sure it's the last one: ENE Technology Inc SD/MMC Card Reader Controller (rev 01) so I searched for that in Google and found that it used to work in the Linux kernel but has since been broken. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/62995 says that a fix has been released for linux-source-2.6.20 (Ubuntu). I'm guessing this is the instructions further down the page on patching and recompiling kernel 2.6.20. Is this the case? If so do I need to use kernel 2.6.20 or the one that I'm currently using (2.6.22-14-generic) when patching and such.
