Compilation compat-wireless for Atheros 8161 FAIL

Hi,

I can’t recompile my Ethernet driver since I have updated my CLD to calculate-kernel-3.7.7.

Can you help me ? I must reboot on the kernel 3.6.7 to have network.

Thanks.

Hello,

Please verify if the USE FLAGS “minimal” for sys-kernel/calculate-sources is present …

Thanks

Hi,

The USE FLAG is on “-minimal”, and I have the line in my /etc/portage/package.use/custom:

sys-kernel/calculate-sources -minimal

I can’t rebuild modules (via module-rebuild -X rebuild, i can’t remember the exact command)

Thanks.

Hello,

Re-emerge calculate-sources like :

emerge -pv sys-kernel/calculate-sources

you must show that :

[ebuild   R    ] sys-kernel/calculate-sources-3.7.7-r1:3.7.7::calculate  USE="symlink vmlinuz -build -minimal*" 82,029 kB

Now :

emerge -qv sys-kernel/calculate-sources

and to finish :

module-rebuild -X rebuild

Reboot your laptop and reinstall your driver.

Thanks

Yes,

[ebuild   R    ] sys-kernel/calculate-sources-3.7.7-r1:3.7.7::calculate  USE="symlink vmlinuz -build -minimal" 82,029 kB

But:

module-rebuild -X rebuild

Not work. Emerge fail on the first package : nvidia-driver.

I try three times but CL doesnt compile…

I have blocked the package calculate-sources for the moment, and I stay on kernel 3.6.11.

I know that Mageia included my Atheros Driver Ethernet in the 3.4.24 kernel.

I think it should not delay in other distributions. My network card is fairly recent.

Hello,

After various tests, I also have big problems compiling with this new kernel. For my part, I’m back on the previous kernel. To see therefore with the development team.

I recommend you stay at the moment on the previous kernel : 3.6.11.

Thanks.

OK Thanks !
