[solved] acerhk - won't compile anymore.

On my 8y old Acer Travelmate i need acerhk to get wifi working.

Since the latest kernels it won't compile anymore without errors.

Anyone get some idea how to get arround with this?

Re: [solved] acerhk - won't compile anymore.

Can you use acer-wmi instead? AFAIK it was supposed to replace acerhk on most systems.

Re: [solved] acerhk - won't compile anymore.

acer-wmi
Unsupported:
This list is very incomplete. The models listed here are the ones known to absolutely not work with this driver - if you have one of these: it is not, cannot and will not be supported

Travelmate:
* 290 series [c,d,n]

I downgraded the kernel to 3.4, now it compiles without errors and works fine.
Still don't know what's the problem.

Re: [solved] acerhk - won't compile anymore.

Indeed, I had a similar laptop that worked only with this module, some say it merged with the mainline kernel but I didn't see that. I suggest using an LTS kernel mate.

Re: [solved] acerhk - won't compile anymore.

I tried to install linux-lts and after the reboot it couldn't find the partitions anymore. I wasn't in the mood to figure out why, so i switched to the 3.4 Kernel.

Re: [solved] acerhk - won't compile anymore.

OK, I've looked at this code. You need to remove all references to __devinit, __devexit and __devexit_p from acerhk.c as these have been removed in 3.8. For example:

sed -i 's/__devinit//g; s/__devexit_p//g; s/__devexit//' acerhk.c

Re: [solved] acerhk - won't compile anymore.

sure.

Make sure to have linux-headers installed as the same version lie your kernel.
The source for acerhk-0.5.35.tgz is unavailable so i downloaded it from here http://filesocial.com/3ex2d4 and put it in the same folder as PKBUILD

My PKBUILD looks like this:

# $Id: PKGBUILD 23215 2010-08-08 21:04:28Z cbrannon $

        2.6.30.patch kernelversion.patch 5100.patch 2.6.36.patch)
install=acerhk.install
_kernver=`uname -r`

build() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"
  sed -i 's/CFLAGS/EXTRA_CFLAGS/' Makefile
  sed -i 's/__devinit//g; s/__devexit_p//g; s/__devexit//' acerhk.c

  sed -i 's@linux/config.h@linux/input.h@' "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/acerhk.c"
  # Set KERNELSRC.  The makefile tries to autodetect it with uname,
  # but that is unreliable.
  make CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER= KERNELSRC="/lib/modules/${_kernver}/build" acerhk.ko || return 1
  install -Dm644 "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/acerhk.ko" \
    "${pkgdir}/lib/modules/${_kernver}/kernel/drivers/block/acerhk.ko" || return 1
  install -Dm755 "${srcdir}/acerhk.rc" "${pkgdir}/etc/rc.d/acerhk" || return 1
}

# vim:set ts=2 sw=2 et:
md5sums=('05255919f312cb76af473a760c284433'
         '935584b3e4bfbb3af8460558e5b98bb5'

	  'd257a4e9223ebfde48b9608805df9c99')

By the way:
Is there any possible way to get acerhk work with systemd?
Like activating the wifi-LED along the boot process and manually control ist with "sysctl start/stop acerhk"?

Re: [solved] acerhk - won't compile anymore.

Thanks, i did the same for test and is gone, then i place in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf this string
modprobe acerhk force_series=290 usedritek=1 verbose=1 echo 1 > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
look your acer here http://rfswitch.sourceforge.net/?page=laptop_matrix and put your correct string there.
All is ok at boot and i can connect to my router.
Can we make something for the package in AUR??
You saved me, my friends!!!
Thanks a lot

Re: [solved] acerhk - won't compile anymore.

here i am, again wink

I couldn't compile acerhk anymore.
So i looked for different ideas how to get the wifi working.

And you won't believe it:
The solution is TAPE

...or maybe nail varnish.
i used superglue.

It works perfekt.
Don't have to fear the next kernelupdate big_smile
