Can the kernel .config file be made available so I can recompile the kernel and add in my specific Lan adapter.

I have a geode itx motherboard in a very small case so adding an adapter is not possible.

 

 

I developed one that worked, but Tom has promised to include the official one in the next release.... so I would wait for that.

Can you make it available to me anyway?

I have no idea when 4.3 will be made available.

 

I want to try my hand on a couple of ITX motherboards, NICS and play around with some iSCSI daemons.

 

I just need a starting point.

(I'm being lazy can ya tell?)

 

I just got hold of a neat lil NIC that has a built in 4 PORT Gigabit switch.

I can eliminate a wall wart and switch for my backup segment if I can get this puppy running.

 

 

 

 

 

Here ya go.

You ROCK!

Thanks so much!

 

Here ya go.

 

How was your file zipped ?  When I download and open in Vista, it states there is one file in the zip, named .config of type XML Configuration file, and upon attempting to extract I get an error 0x80004005: Unspecified error.

 

 

I used the command line info-zip to extract it  and I had no issues with it.

 

Even info-zip command line in DOS is failing with "unsupported compression method".  info-zip is reporting it can see the file [1 file, 34059 bytes uncompressed, 6696 bytes compressed:  80.3%] but it fails upon extracting it.

 

Can you attach a .txt copy - or otherwise PM or email it to me ?  (hopefully bubbaQ won't mind )

 

 

C:\info-zip>unzip -?
UnZip 5.52 of 28 February 2005, by Info-ZIP.  Maintained by C. Spieler.  Send
bug reports using http://www.info-zip.org/zip-bug.html; see README for details.

Usage: unzip [-Z] [-opts[modifiers]] file[.zip] [list] [-x xlist] [-d exdir]
  Default action is to extract files in list, except those in xlist, to exdir;
  file[.zip] may be a wildcard.  -Z => ZipInfo mode ("unzip -Z" for usage).

  -p  extract files to pipe, no messages     -l  list files (short format)
  -f  freshen existing files, create none    -t  test compressed archive data
  -u  update files, create if necessary      -z  display archive comment
  -x  exclude files that follow (in xlist)   -d  extract files into exdir

modifiers:                                   -q  quiet mode (-qq => quieter)
  -n  never overwrite existing files         -a  auto-convert any text files
  -o  overwrite files WITHOUT prompting      -aa treat ALL files as text
  -j  junk paths (do not make directories)   -v  be verbose/print version info
  -C  match filenames case-insensitively     -L  make (some) names lowercase
  -$  label removables (-$$ => fixed disks)  -V  retain VMS version numbers
  -M  pipe through "more" pager              -s  spaces in filenames => '_'

Examples (see unzip.txt for more info):
  unzip data1 -x joe   => extract all files except joe from zipfile data1.zip
  unzip -fo foo ReadMe => quietly replace existing ReadMe if archive file newer

C:\info-zip>unzip -Z config
Warning: TZ environment variable not found, cannot use UTC times!!
Archive:  config.zip   6808 bytes   1 file
-rw-a--     2.0 fat    34059 t- u098 16-Dec-07 19:56 .config

C:\info-zip>unzip config
Warning: TZ environment variable not found, cannot use UTC times!!
Archive:  config.zip
   skipping: .config                 unsupported compression method 98

I ended up using WinZip - as the compression algorithm 98 is not support in Vista file explorer and other unzip programs.

 

Attached is a Vista compressed zip of the same file ...
