Bug#315110: kernel-image-2.4.27-2-686: irda driver smsc-ircc2 under kernel-image-2.6.8 doesn't seem to work.
Hi,
I tried with the given kernel and the result is:
- exactly the same symptons as in 2.6.8
- the backported kernel is built with gcc 4.0.2 (not sure about the
subdigits) which are not part of Sarge, making building of additional
modules impossible. Such a backported kernel should be built with gcc from
Sarge (IMHO). -- and I know it's an unrelated comment :-)
And to come back to your point on filing a separate bug for 2.6.8, I just
remember that I clearly said in my first bug report that I need actually a
fix for 2.4.x because of other dependencies; I only tried 2.6.8 because I
was asked to...
Thanks, Eric
