[gentoo-user] Thinkpad T61 HDAPS and sound card support

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 555 bytes --]

I have a thinkpad T61 runs gentoo now, I did some google on the HDAPS
support, found that the hdapsd on portage
is out of date now, so I cannot do "emerge --config xxx" to patch my kernel.
The kernel is gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r7.

My question is, is there a kernel is patched for the hdaps in portage? Or
there are some ways to get the hdapsd work
with gentoo way?

For the sound, the intel HD alsa support is already compiled as a module,
but I cannot find /dev/audio and actually the
device does not work at all, do I miss some options?

I have the same notebook. The sound worked for me only with 2.6.26. First
using vanilla 2.26.26-rcX and finally with gentoo-sources-2.6.26.

But the gentoo-sources-2.6.26 is unstable now, so may switch to this
kernel safely?
BTW, with the new kernel, does the LED of Intel 4965AGN works?

 I moved gentoo-sources to ~x86 and it is very stable for me.

 No LED for wireless card. My T61 has an Atheros chip set and it is not
working for me, TX and RX packets are dropped.  The 2.6.26 recognize the
card using ath5k driver, but no LED. I tryed ndiswrappe, but no much
progress until now.

Thanks about that, I will have a try about the 2.6.26 kernel soon,
also the hdaps
patch for the 2.6.25 didn't work for me, I can update it to 2.6.26

I think you may have a try with madwifi, last time I used madwifi for my fujitsu
U1010 and it works fine.

I switched to gentoo-sources-2.6.26 and the alsa card still cannot work, so can
you give me your .config file please.
Thank you.
