Since I am new to configuring kernels, I doubt that I can help very much on
this.
The 3.0.4-libre-lemote kernel from
http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/lemote/gnewsense has everything
except hotkey support for wireless. The CONFIG_RTL8187 and CONFIG_RTL8187B
options are disabled in the config file. Typing "echo 1 >
/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state" does nothing, even when the kernel is
reconfigured with those drivers enabled.
The 2.36.8-loongson-2f kernel from http://bjlx.org.cn/loongson2f/squeeze has
functional hotkey and wireless networking capability. However, the date resets
to 1968 when restarted, thus messing up certificates, and scrolling with the
keybad is disabled.
I would really appreciate suggestions for adding wireless/hotkey capability to
the 3.0.4-libre-lemote kernel, or fixing the date problem and adding the keybad
scrolling capability on 2.36.8-loongson-2f! Should I add the patch, modify
options, or both?
Thanks!
