[Sugar-devel] Wanting to know a bit of (NetworkManager) workflow upon resume-from-suspend

[Ajay Garg]

Thanks Martin and Jerry.

I followed the following steps ::

a)
Listed "lsinitrd /boot/initrd.img".
It did not show any "/etc/modprobe.d/libertas.conf".


b)
Extracted "/boot/initrd.img" into a temporary folder.
Obviously, no "/etc/modprobe.d/libertas.conf" was seen.


c)
Generated the required "/etc/modprobe.d/libertas.conf" with the content
"options libertas libertas_disablemesh=1" in the tmp folder.


d)
Re-compressed the temp-folder to "/boot/initrd.img".


e)
Listed "lsinitrd /boot/initrd.img".
This time, "/etc/modprobe.d/libertas.conf" was listed.


f)
Rebooted XO-1.


g)
Mesh-icons were still observed :(


h)
Note that I did this, without OOB (i.e. I was just wanting to test that
whether this would work at all).


I guess that there is something else we might be missing.


So, I think that the only solution left now, is to put the "rmmod/modprobe"
hack in olpc-configure.

Would it be an acceptable upstream solution (the change in olpc-utils) ?
Martin (Langhoff) / Daniel (Drake) ?



Looking forward to comments and replies.


Thanks and Regards,
Ajay
