Hi John,
Sorry to keep your title and question another point: the laptop
sleep-mode functions...
How did you get your laptop to manage the suspend / wake-up process with
the core kernel, and what autonomy do you obtain compared to the
standard values?
It was impossible to me, under CentOS 6.2 or RHEL6.3 to manage
suspend/hibernation function (I use an ASUSPRO B33E with i915 chipset,
Intel HD graphics & i5 ) until I switched to kernel-ml from elrepo.
Not sure about the reliability & security of this hack, I switched since
that to Fedora 17 (everything works well), but this distro seems to use
practicaly the same kernel that the Elrepo does...], but I'd prefer to
stay corporate...
Thank you,
Ralf

Hi,
I've been using centos6.2 for about 6 months now and
have been running it
ok on a Sony Vaio. I recently got my hands on a new
laptop and installed
centos6.2 on there. It's a relatively new machine
(Samsung NP700) so I
anticipated there might be a few compatibility issues.
The main issue was
that my wireless card was not recognised. After a fair
bit of researching,
I came across the kmod-compat-wireless fix.
I installed this (yum install...) and it completed with
some errors, but I
now have wireless connectivity. My question is I'm not
sure if should be
worried about the warnings I got after installing
kmod-compat? Afterall, I
now have wireless...

Done.
Installed:
kmod-compat-wireless.x86_64 0:3.3-2.n.el6.elrepo*
I know there are later versions (3.5-rc3xxx) of
kmod-compat-wireless from
linuxwireless.org but the procedure for using those
seems a little complex
- I'm still relatively new to linux :-)
Can these warnings be safely ignored or should I be
taking more active
steps to resolve them?
Thanks,
J
Hi John,
Quick answer - yes, you can safely ignore those warnings. They
relate to the now unused distro drivers which
kmod-compat-wireless has just replaced.
For information, you will now likely see those warnings every
time you update your kernel, but again it is OK to just ignore
them.
Hope that helps,
Phil
