|
|
I am trying to work out the version numbering for the iwl7260-ucode package. When I look in the ebuilds the most recent version appears to be sys-firmware/iwl7260-ucode-0.12.16.2. However when I look on the driver site: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi I see version numbers ranging from 15.227938.0 (which seems to be the most recent) to 25.30.13.0 and 22.1.7.0. My questions are:

Hi, there! To answer your first question - logic is irrelevant here because kernel ucode versions till 4.1+ seem to follow accending version numbers but the latest 4.2+ breaks this.
Your second assumption is correct - some time ago gentoo devs decided to do version numbering of intel ucode in reversed order. If you are willing to know why - ask them kindly
Onto the third question - see this and find the answer for yourself:
Code: | equery y iwl7260-ucode
Keywords for sys-firmware/iwl7260-ucode:
| | u |
| a a a n p r s | n |
| l m r h i m m i p i s p | u s | r
| p d a m p a 6 i o p c s 3 a x | s l | e
| h 6 r 6 p 6 8 p s p 6 c 9 s r 8 | e o | p
| a 4 m 4 a 4 k s 2 c 4 v 0 h c 6 | d t | o

Thank you, ... I think
From this it looks like what I need 0.12 which my system thinks is about 10 steps behind what I have installed. Cute. _________________ Linux, the OS for the obsessive-compulsive speed freak in all of us. |
