I don't know whether the people who kindly helped me before (with the network card, chipset BCM4366) are still here, but against all odds: I got it working!
Bliepo 2017-03-08 12:51:21
Anyway, what would be an appropiate place to post a guide on this?
somiaj 2017-03-08 12:51:44
Bliepo: there isn't one on the debian wiki already? What did you have to do? I thought firmware was enough.
rudi_s 2017-03-08 12:51:44
Bliepo: I don't know the details, but Debian Wiki sounds like a good place.
heap_ 2017-03-08 12:53:04
hi, is there any channel for the debian arm distro?
Bliepo 2017-03-08 12:53:42
somiaj: It's about the Asus PCE-AC88 which needs a bit of additional work
Bliepo 2017-03-08 12:53:50
I'll check the wiki
Bliepo 2017-03-08 12:56:09
Hmmm
Bliepo 2017-03-08 12:56:20
wiki doesn't seem to be the place for how-to's to me
rudi_s 2017-03-08 13:01:21
Bliepo: Well, not exactly "how-tos", but IMO it's the place for specific instructions to get a specific piece of hardware running. And it already contains many such instructions.
Bliepo 2017-03-08 13:01:57
rudi_s: I'm having trouble finding it though
rudi_s 2017-03-08 13:02:14
Bliepo: Finding what?
loeken 2017-03-08 13:02:33
Bliepo, suggestion: google for your problem and try to respond your solution to the first result on google
loeken 2017-03-08 13:02:37
that way most ppl will see it :)
Bliepo 2017-03-08 13:02:46
Oh
Bliepo 2017-03-08 13:02:50
That's a good one
loeken 2017-03-08 13:03:38
i do that with the tricky ones :p
Bliepo 2017-03-08 13:03:40
Yeah, this card was a lot of work really
Bliepo 2017-03-08 13:22:52
If you add backports to sources.list, it will still default to 'normal' packages right?

I have a standard MCE IR receiver (Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (147a:e042)) and it doesn't work properly in the 3.16 kernel on Jessie or the 4.9 kernel from backports. On 3.16, the directional keypads work as well as a number of other keys, but enter/OK does nothing, pause doesn't work, as well as a number of other buttons. In 4.9, no keys work. In both cases, the

somiaj: Presumably, I have access to the source for OpenPHT, which can be used to build it
jasonwc 2017-03-08 13:32:06
I initially thought I had this issue: http://lists.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2015-July/379872.html
jasonwc 2017-03-08 13:32:12
However, I checked config.c and it shows n = 10
somiaj 2017-03-08 13:32:37
well the debian config file is in /boot/config-kernelversion, you can compare this to what you know works see if any options that are needed are missing or different.
somiaj 2017-03-08 13:32:47
but I'm not seeing anything because compare it to the situation it works in
jasonwc 2017-03-08 13:33:28
I"m not sure what I should be looking for.
somiaj 2017-03-08 13:34:40
me either, but config options related to the device
jasonwc 2017-03-08 13:34:47
The device is found and doesn't show errors in dmesg or syslog. The device presumably "should" be supported but something is broken. The aforementioned bug appeared to match my issue, but I don't see n = 32 in config.c

Hi. I just installed Jessie from a netinst image. Installation went fine, but upon reboot for some reason my resolv.conf isn't being populated. I'm assigning IP via DHCP and on my older Debian installs I get the DNS configured automatically too. Did something change recently with how resolv.conf is handled?
silverblade 2017-03-08 13:45:07
To add to this in case it is relevant: I have IPv6 on my network as well as IPv4. I had trouble with IPv6 dhcp addresses so I set that to a static one. Seemingly it was trying to populate resolv.conf with an IPv6 DNS server, but I can't seem to get it to use the IPv4 one instead.
