[Da Alchemist]

Hello,

Ijust updated to TC4.1 and found Lirc not working.

When I try to load the Modules manually Ill get:

module lirc_serial not found in modules.dep

Is there a fix  ?

lirc.tcz is a Version 3 extension, not a Version 4 extension.
lirc.tcz contains the the modules for 2.6.33.3-tinycore, not 3.0.3-tinycore

So Ithink it has to be removed from the 4.x Repos or be recompiled  , I wish i would be able to do so ...

Well isn't this a bit weird, to have modules in an extensions that does not follow the 'name-KERNEL.tcz' convention.

Maybe it's time to split off 'lirc-modules-KERNEL.tcz' from 'lirc.tcz'. Likewise (at least when checking the *.list files of my own TC 4.x mirror) it appears that 'madwifi.tcz' is another case with "hidden" v2.6.33.3 modules.

And furthermore I spotted that 'ndiswrapper.tcz', 'openvswitch.tcz' and 'wl.tcz' contain a v3.0.3 module each, which prevents them from ever being able to support a 64-bit system. So maybe splitting off the modules or renaming the extension to follow the 'name-KERNEL.tcz' convention could be considered for those three as well (with the good news that I did not spot any problem WRT other dependency files).

I'll split ndiswrapper into ndiswrapper and ndiswrapper-modules-3.0.3-tinycore and rename wl to wl-modules-3.0.3-tinycore.

Before I post them, it probably makes sense I compile ndiswrapper-modules-3.0.3-tinycore64 and wl-modules-3.0.3-tinycore64 - it's going to be somewhat awkward to test as my core64 machine has broadcom wireless hardware that will not be supported before linux-3.2, needs a new version of ndis and is not supported by the wl module either...

Since 2.6.36 most lirc modules are already included in the kernel as drivers. But you need 0.9.0 version, 0.8.x series are incompatible with recent kernels.

I made an 0.9.0 extension and it's working fine for me. I could upload it to repository, but  you must keep in mind that:

1) I can not test every driver.
2) I don't supply any script to start it. User must do it himself.
3) smode2  is not available.
4) irxevent  and xmode2 are not available (I will try to compile them but I can not guarantee...) Edit: Done.
5) irman driver is not available (I can try it if anyone is interested...)

If this issues are acceptable to developers then I will send it.

It would be good to check by a PM with the maintainer of lirc (Thomas Genty) in the 3.x repo if he's OK with this, otherwise I don't think it would be a problem

[AmatCoder]

Today I send a PM (via forum), although he is not active since August 2010...

Hello,

I don't know how long we have to wait for an answer. I think 10 Days without means that the former maintainer is not working with TC any more.

Could the new version now be updated?

Otherwise I think i have to fallback to 3.84..

I think 10 days is a reasonable amount of time to wait without reply, so it should be OK for AmatCoder to go ahead and submit an update

[AmatCoder]

Now I sent it to Jason...Apologizes for the delay.

Just found the new modules in the repos.

It is working perfectly for me.

Thanks a lot!
