Hi there, When I upgraded my laptop from Wheezy to Jessie the JME driver failed.
When I was running Wheezy the Debian-supplied version did not work at all, leaving me with no Ethernet connection. So I would routinely replace the JME driver supplied by Debian with one from JMicron which I compiled myself. A week or so ago, when I upgraded to Jessie, the Debian-supplied driver again failed, but the driver which I have been using with Wheezy does not compile under Jessie's updated build system. It would be much easier to switch to a different distribution than to find out why it won't compile and fix it, so I trawled the 'net with the search engines and found this Ubuntu list post which describes a workaround: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/880316 This workaround is to reduce the speed at which the interface operates from 1Gbit/s to 100Mbit/s. Obviously to find this post I had to use a different a computer, since mine wasn't able to connect to the network. 'Upgrading' my laptop to Jessie felt like a definite downgrade as it prevented me from using my computer. So I'd call this bug SERIOUS. -- 73, Ged. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
