Re: [Announce] [12.09.05] kernel-plus 2.6.32.59 for Harmattan
 
juiceme, thanks. :)

btw: I repeat my question here whether it is needed to change the /lib/modules/current symlink to point to the new modules?
Afaik it was needed in fremantle, but only referenced in /sbin/preinit (solved by cssu or kp install), else it was referenced by $(uname -r).
Anyone knows about harmattan? And if not, why is it still present?
So maybe there is the need to have a one-liner in ubiboot to change that symlink on changing kernels?

No need to do that. The kernel knows to load the correct modules by the name string (same as uname) and the 'current' symlink is used for nothing.

I really don't know why it is there, maybe just historical reasons...?

ohai, juiceme!

Thanks for posting a built kernel - wrecked my Harmattan sb2 toolchain and haven't really had time to work on it anymore.

FWIW, for those who need it, the .59-to-.60 and .60-to.61 patches still apply cleanly on top of the latest patched K+ sources ;)

Yes, I noticed "too late" as I had already compiled the kernel and transferred to my webiste that I forgot to apply the l2fix patch.

Bummer. But really I am running i t now on my device, it worked allright with ubiboot albeit booted some 30 seconds longer :D

I'll add the l2fixed kernel soon as I get to compile it.
The modules are OK, need no recompiling.

The original post says that this kernel supports AP mode.
mac80211 Master/AP mode

Has anybody verified this and gotten it to work with hostapd?

I have not tried it yet. I do remember however Hurrian mentioned it needs a different firmware file to make wl1271 go to AP mode.
