When trying to install the speedtouch USB using the 2004.2 version of gentoo the n_hdlc module is missing so i could not complete the installation of my gentoo box. Even if the n_hdlc is compiled in I think n_hdlc must there as a module. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Do a modprobe n_hdlc 2.And see the error that this module is missing 3. Actual Results: The bugs were still here Expected Results: when I do a modprobe n_hdlc no output lines should be displayed I have always used this modem to install gentoo , but the version i was using was the 1.4 wich includes n_hdlc as a module
Would you be willing to help us in testing for 2004.3? None of us has a Speedtouch modem to test with.
Yes no problem it will be a great pleasure to test the third version of gentoo 2004
I also have such a modem and can do some testing. I am currently switching from a separtedly compiled installation of the speedtouch-drivers to the ones that come with Gentoo. I have n_hdlc available as part of my kernel-modules at: /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-ck9/kernel/drivers/char/n_hdlc.ko Maybe you are missing some kernel-configuration. I have the following enabled in my configuration of the kernel (2.6.8.1-ck7), but I am not sure if all of this is required. You should try at least CONFIG_N_HDLC=m, which can be found under "Device Drivers - Character Devices - HDLC line discipline support" # # Device Drivers - Networking Support - Wan interfaces # CONFIG_WAN=y # CONFIG_DSCC4 is not set # CONFIG_LANMEDIA is not set CONFIG_SYNCLINK_SYNCPPP=m CONFIG_HDLC=m CONFIG_HDLC_RAW=y CONFIG_HDLC_RAW_ETH=y # CONFIG_HDLC_CISCO is not set # CONFIG_HDLC_FR is not set CONFIG_HDLC_PPP=y # # Device Drivers - Character devices # CONFIG_N_HDLC=m
The config is set on x86, but not on ppc for 2005.0. Don't know about other arches. I keep this bug open, but as a remind.
Remember that 2005.0 is not released yet, so we cannot resolve these bugs... ;]
This should be fixed in 2005.0
