Hi,

In recompiling 2.6.24 with
http://ftp.cica.es/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.24-2.diff.gz
I get this error:


CC [M] drivers/atm/fore200e.o
HOSTCC drivers/atm/fore200e_mkfirm
drivers/atm/fore200e_mkfirm -k -b _fore200e_pca_fw

drivers/atm/fore200e_mkfirm: can't open for reading
make[4]: *** [drivers/atm/fore200e_pca_fw.c] Error 254

make: *** [binary-arch_i386_none_686_real] Error 2

Of course the error goes away when I deselect that particular atm driver
which I don't need.


I didn't file a bug since I wasn't sure that applies.

Hugo

This file is removed from the Debian source, including the relevant
Makefile entries.

Thanks Bastian, that explains it. Great job.

i agree to your cynicism.

if you wanna help either make copyright holder relicense blob to BSD
or the driver to use request_firmware(), see for the long story
http://wiki.debian.org/KernelFirmwareLicensing

DFSG doesn't allow such blobs in Debian main.

I wasn't being cynical. I was referring to the superb service that is
being performed in providing me with the tools and a kernel patch, as
well as the kernel itself, enabling me to add the ck patch to a Debian
revised kernel. Thanks again.


The firmware issue is what it is and as I said, I don't use the atm
module, luckily.
