\"\"<\/a>Just compiled new kernel 3.1.1 last weekend for i586 arch and\u00a0works perfectly on\u00a0my axioo notebook. All hardware working as I expected and stable enough since I already use it for 4 days without any fuss. Suspend and hibernate also perfectly running well and can wake up ethernet and my iwl-5100 without difficulties. Also, the intel graphics card on this notebook quite working more happy and snappier without any stuttering during using kwin plasma desktop effects. this is very good.<\/p>\n

I’m not including the complete 3rd party kernel drivers at this time and also the aufs patch so I cannot remaster for some time being until I can find some free time.\u00a0maybe next weekend or in the airport lounge because I have flight schedule next monday, along with bfs patch and pae kernel. Just recently, I miss the flight and since then I always come one hour earlier before boarding and gives me more time on airport lounge to do something else … but yeah, of course if only i brought my i7 notebook, not this axioo notebook because the battery sucks and cannot complete the compile within an hour. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

The only problem after using this 3.1.1 kernel although not too mission critical is the net_applet not showing the network connection status accurately. The icon status on the taskbar stay inactive although I can browse the internet and reading my email. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0This problem has\u00a0also\u00a0appeared\u00a0in kernel\u00a02.6.39\u00a0if\u00a0I\u00a0remember correctly,\u00a0but it works fine on\u00a0kernel\u00a02.6.38 and below.
\nYesterday,\u00a0I have time\u00a0to\u00a0investigate\u00a0this,\u00a0and\u00a0it seems at\u00a0this\u00a03.x\u00a0series\u00a0kernel mapped the network routes that goes to \/proc\/net\/routes output in reversed.<\/p>\n

eth0 00000000 should be listed at last, not on first, thus network::tools::get_routes() cannot read it and net_applet see the network as down whereas it’s up.<\/p>\n
I’m not doing perl programming so looking for patch at mageia bugzilla (thanks tv \ud83d\ude42 ) and creating my own patch :<\/p>\n

rebuild the rpm and now the net_applet show correctly for both of my kernel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
