There are two things with tce-load I'd call odd:
First, you can run
--- Code: ---tce-load -w -i extension.tcz
--- End code ---
to download and install an extension, but
--- Code: ---tce-load -i extension.tcz
--- End code ---
fails, even if the extension has been downloaded.
I've attached a patch that prepends $TCEDIR/optional as a second try, if the extension was not found in the first place.
Second, if you try to install locally an extension that depends on compiletc.tcz, it will fail. To reproduce download only the qt-creator.tcz creator package and install it afterwards locally or via ondemand.

Patch accepted. Thanks. I will look into the other before I comment.

Currently the URL in '/opt/tcemirror' has to end with a forward slash (unlike to what the Wiki page might suggest). This is due to the lack of a forward slash between "$MIRROR" and "$(getMajorVer)" in the current implementation of the 'getMirror()' function (in '/etc/init.d/tc-functions'). I believe that changing it to
MIRROR="${MIRROR%/}/$(getMajorVer).x/tcz"
would make it a more "tolerant" function.

Suggested change accepted. Thanks!

Re: Second part
Found it. Fixed. Thanks. That was a subtle one.
MikeLockmoore:
Hello all. I've done a little testing with Alpha 6 on my Dell Inspiron 5100 (P4) laptop. No real problems, besides maybe a couple of hung shutdowns reboot or shutdown from the FLWM menu. It does not seem to happen consistently or in any particular situation that I can figure out. If I do see a more repeatable example, I'll post it.
I'd like to build the kernel module for my ACX chipset WiFi adapter, but the linux-headers extension is not ready yet. I downloaded the Linux 2.6.33.3 source tree, but I don't know how to set up a /lib/modules/.../build/ tree, which I need to build the acx.ko module. Is a copy of the /lib/modules/.../build tree in the Linux source tree somewhere? Or does anyone know how I can set up the build tree? Thanks for any advice.

curaga:
build is just a symlink to the extracted kernel source. If .config is there, "make modules_prepare" in the three is enough to make external modules compile.
