Any chance of going the plugsched or no-sources route and allowing multiple schedulers that you chould choose at boot time?

b43 isn't working for me.
It seems that the mac80211 stuff may need a patch also (as the function expects 3 args, but the driver is passing 4). Have no idea where they symbol should be defined.

I've been working on this all day. I've finally managed to merge the latest wireless.git with kamikaze3 and produce a _correct_ patch for b43/b43legacy and more mac80211 drivers.
You need to first reverse b43-2.6.23.patch:
| Code: | | cd linux && patch -Rp1 < ../b43-2.6.23.patch |
Then get my new patch 2.6.23-linville.patch.bz2 and apply it. Now you should have the working wireless-2.6 code.

Thanks - I got it to build with your patch, but I can't seem to get the device to work with the new driver.
The only extra step I took (aside from loading the proper modules) was to cut the v4 firmware to /lib/firmware.
Was there anything else that I needed to do? |

You need to make sure you're using b43-fwcutter not bcm43xx-fwcutter, and which chipset and revision is your card? |

Sorry I have a different chipset and use b43legacy. I had to patch the kernel to get it to find my device, similar problem to yours. But this isn't the solution for you ...
| Code: | --- ./drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy/main.c.orig 2007-10-18 02:09:44.000000000 +0100
+++ ./drivers/net/wireless/b43legacy/main.c 2007-10-18 04:05:53.000000000 +0100
@@ -95,6 +95,7 @@
static const struct ssb_device_id b43legacy_ssb_tbl[] = {
SSB_DEVICE(SSB_VENDOR_BROADCOM, SSB_DEV_80211, 2),
SSB_DEVICE(SSB_VENDOR_BROADCOM, SSB_DEV_80211, 4),
+ SSB_DEVICE(SSB_VENDOR_BROADCOM, SSB_DEV_80211, 5),
SSB_DEVTABLE_END
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(ssb, b43legacy_ssb_tbl);

whats the output of:

Unbelievable: 7,8 wakeups using just 8.7 Watts in idle mode (no wlan, no lvds, no usb, no interaction, but online).
Never noticed before,that powertop changes to green color when there are less than 10 wakeups.
Really cool
Thank your very much for this great patchset!

I'm so happy with this... I can finally test rt2x00-git on a kamikaze-kernel (have to see if it compiles though  )
Thank you both so very much

I'm having some ACPI troubles in kamikaze3 which weren's present in kamikaze 2.
'make oldconfig' asked no questions whatsoever about acpi, so there shouldn't be any difference in configuration.
I'm on an Acer Travelmate 8000.
Problem:
I'm missing the '/proc/acpi/battery' tree even though "CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY" is set.
I found out because the KDE Laptop monitor won't start up. When I go to the control panel it says "Your computer seems to have a partial ACPI installation. ACPI was probably enabled, but some of the sub-options were not - you need to enable at least 'AC Adaptor' and 'Control Method Battery' and then rebuild your kernel".
The first option is enabled already and the second is nowhere to be found.
Like I said, this problem was non-existant in kamikaze2, I even booted the old kernel again to verify and the battery monitor was working again. |

Somebody uses suspend2 hibernating with suspend2ui_fbsplash? (aka tuxonice)
Suspending to disk (swapwriter) works, but not with suspen2ui_fbsplash.
If I try to hibernate, the console is scrambled. Log says, something is wrong with the splash_utils parameters - I think the -d option, so I removed it
(from hibernate script ):
the same problem, another log message: fbsplashd communication error, or something like that.
Although: wake up from hibernating (start laptop) -the splash- works nicely. |

Thank you for this patch. It'll be in kamikaza4
PD: I see many people doesn't know how to enable the CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY option. Maybe I should modify Kconfig so when you select that option, CONFIG_POWER_SUPPLY is also enabled. But I don't like this too much. |

- CONFIG_POWER_SUPPLY has been enabled in my config since kamikaze1
- As I said this same setup and configuration worked just fine in kamikaze2
- Now you are suggesting I enable an option that pretty much must have been enabled already, else I wouldn't have had working kamikaze2
If someone has a better idea I would be very happy.  |

After enabling Power Supply stuff acpi battery appears in power management section. If not, then hack the Makefile.. |

As I wrote in my post above CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY is already set, so is CONFIG_POWER_SUPPLY. They must have been since hte same .config worked in kamikaze2 (I'm quite tired of mentioning it, but it doesn't seem to strike home).
Seriously, I appreciate you trying to help but do you even read what I'm writing? |

| In kamikaze2 and older versions you don't need to enable CONFIG_POWER_SUPPLY to enable CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY. |

It works here.. i have that stff enabled and everything works as it should.
Maybe reverse thinkpad patches, that messes around with many other things |

Alright, for some reason I already had it enabled though. Probably because at 'make oldconfig' I thought "POWER_SUPPLY sounds good"
To smash any other confusion:
Here's my .config in a pastebin - maybe I did indeed set up soemthing wrong.
If you have any other ideas I would be happy. Is it even possible the thinkpad patches are the cuplrit here? |

Okay, i recognized that my /proc/acpi/battery is missing, too. I did never use it because of smapi, but after enabling it in .config powertop stopped complaining about it missing although it's not in /proc/acpi. It also shows current power consumption.. strange, maybe i'll investigate a bit, but it has no real importance for me. |

Ok, I tried reverting the thinkpad patches, but it didn't make any difference. Then I looked at the differences between kamikaze2 and kamikaze3 and saw there was a new patch, acpi-release-20070126-2.6.23.patch
Putting it in /usr/src/linux and doing a
| Code: | | patch -Rp1 < acpi-release-20070126-2.6.23.patch |
plus a fresh compile made my /proc/acpi/battery show up again.
What exactly are those patches doing...and why are they so old (January 26th?) |
