Hi, this is actually not a bug, it's more a question. I was wondering why the "nokia_dku2" kernel patch/module is not in the "app-mobilephone/gnokii-0.6.26-r2" and "app-mobilephone/gammu-1.20.0-r1" packages. Also: Why isn't the driver/module in "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r7"? I'm using gnokii with a "dku2libusb" connection and gammu with a "dku2at" connection. With the "nokia_dku2" module is could use a "dku2" connection with both programs. I read "dku2" is faster and offers more features. The "nokia_dku2" stuff in the latest gammu sources: $ tar -tzf gammu-1.21.0.tar.gz | grep -i dku gammu-1.21.0/other/driver/dku2/ gammu-1.21.0/other/driver/dku2/kernel_2.6/ gammu-1.21.0/other/driver/dku2/kernel_2.6/nokia_dku2.c gammu-1.21.0/other/driver/dku2/kernel_2.6/nokia_dku2.h gammu-1.21.0/other/driver/dku2/kernel_2.6/configure gammu-1.21.0/other/driver/dku2/kernel_2.6/Makefile.in gammu-1.21.0/other/driver/dku2/kernel_2.6/configure.in gammu-1.21.0/other/driver/dku2/howto.txt gammu-1.21.0/other/driver/dku2/kernel_2.4/ gammu-1.21.0/other/driver/dku2/kernel_2.4/nokia_dku2.c gammu-1.21.0/other/driver/dku2/kernel_2.4/nokia_dku2.h gammu-1.21.0/other/driver/dku2/kernel_2.4/configure gammu-1.21.0/other/driver/dku2/kernel_2.4/Makefile.in gammu-1.21.0/other/driver/dku2/kernel_2.4/configure.in The "nokia_dku2" stuff in the latest gnokii sources: $ tar -tzf gnokii-0.6.27.tar.gz | grep -i dku gnokii-0.6.27/Docs/sample/45-nokiadku2.rules gnokii-0.6.27/Docs/README-DKU2 gnokii-0.6.27/common/devices/dku2libusb.c gnokii-0.6.27/patches/kernel_2.4/nokia_dku2.c gnokii-0.6.27/patches/kernel_2.4/nokia_dku2.h gnokii-0.6.27/patches/kernel_2.6/nokia_dku2.c gnokii-0.6.27/patches/kernel_2.6/nokia_dku2.h gnokii-0.6.27/patches/kernel_2.6/nokia_dku2.c.2_6_15 gnokii-0.6.27/include/devices/dku2libusb.h Regards, Markus Reproducible: Always
Hiya Markus, I'm afraid as you said, that's a question rather than a bug. Please either ask on the gentoo developer mailing list (gentoo-dev@gentoo.org, instructions at [1]), or ask your question on IRC (freenode servers, #gentoo-dev channel). My guess would be that given there are other methods of communication that work, maintaining a kernel module would cause more problems than it would be worth (breakages as new kernels are released). Gnokii also specifically recommend using the libusb method[2]. I'm going to mark this as INVALID simply because it isn't a bug, but if you'd like to turn this into an enhancement request for the ebuilds to build these modules, please just reopen this bug and let us know... 5:) [1] http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml [2] http://www.gnokii.org/docs.shtml#dku2
