Hello all, I have a (new) Debian GNU/Linux i386 system running a 2.2.17 kernel. Soon I'll get a ieee1394 card which fo course I'd like to use with my current system. So far I have only found kernel patches for 2.2.16 kernels. Can anyone tell me if there actually is (or will be) a patch for a 2.2.17 kernels? Alternatively how does one put together one's own patch? I've got the ieee1394 sources form the cvs repository but I guess that's not enough, right? regards, Jan Rhebergen |

Jan, the kernel-2.2.16 patch works against the 2.2.17 kernel as well. The patch updates the appropriate config files and documentation for the kernel source package, so go ahead and apply that. Then, copy the files from the cvs update into the /usr/src/linux-2.2/drivers/ieee1394 directory. Next, when you use make menuconfig or xconfig to configure the kernel, you need to go into the first submenu, code maturity options, and enable prompting for development/incomplete drivers to get to the ieee1394 section. Finally, the ieee1394 submenu appears/enables so you can choose modules. You'll want to enable IEEE 1394, OHCI, and Raw IEEE 1394 I/O support. Modules works fine for most users; however, some users have said they need to compile in the support. Also, please purchase an OHCI compliant card. +-DRD-+ Jan Rhebergen wrote: > > Hello all, > > I have a (new) Debian GNU/Linux i386 system running a 2.2.17 kernel.

If you want to use the CVS sources in 2.2, you still need to apply the patch which creates the surroundings (config options, makefile modifications). After that you can replace the created drivers/ieee1394 with the CVS ieee1394 directory. -- Andreas E.
