Cosa non fare tornando a casa (2)

Cena da amici.
Ritorno a casa scocciato ripensando che la wifi mini-pci dentro il mio ThinkPad non vuole andare con il kernel 2.6.5: so che almeno sulla 2.6.8 va, ma non voglio upgradare visto che sono soddisfatto di come funziona tutto il resto.
LEI invece non vuole funzionare:

Mar  6 02:36:47 kernel: airo: Found an MPI350 card
Mar  6 02:36:48 kernel: airo: Firmware version 5.20.17 is not supported.
 Use it at your own risk!

Per fare breve una storia lunga: dopo patch e contropatch, e` bastato copiare il sorgente della

airo.c

dal kernel tree della 2.6.8 dentro quello della 2.6.5 e funziona tutto. Alla faccia del “backport”…

Mar  6 02:52:45 kernel: airo:  Probing for PCI adapters
Mar  6 02:52:45 kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 0000:02:02.0
