A new Version 11 - 24 October 2012 (download 499 onwards) of the multi-kernel pet in post #1 has been uploaded.

The only difference is that the multi-kernel pet now directly supports the recently released Precise 5.4 version of puppy.

Cheers

Thanks peebee,

Now what EXACTLY do I need to integrate these into their respective builds at build time? I will ship with wl in final so might as well get it in to the next and hopefully final beta for a bit of testing. I have settled on these kernels unless of course their is some major issue with them. I hope not, that is why I have been following the LTS branches.

Cheers

Hi Mick

Should I construct 2 pets just for you

2* 1MB

Or 1 pet with drivers for both kernels? (2MB+)

Or....

Do you foresee the wl driver itself being included in the iso (its 1MB), or will the pet be available in the repository?

There are various ways we could go - I'm happy to go whichever you want.

Barry for precise has chosen to go with a specialised pet built into the iso. He could have gone with delta's built-in and the multi-kernel pet in the repository....but didn't.

My feeling is that having 1 multi-kernel pet is the most flexible...

My aim for the "official" puppies is that the one multi-kernel pet will have the delta files included - so if you've fixed on the kernels now I can put the slacko deltas into the pet.

Cheers
Peter

I want to include it in the iso, so 2 separate pets will be preferred I think

Update:

Precise 5.4.2 k3.2.29 (the pae version) from BarryK now has the wl driver built-in to the iso.

(n.b. Retro-Precise 5.4.2 k3.2.32 nopae still requires the add-on pet in post #1)

Both Slacko 5.4 k3.2.33-4g & k3.4.17-PAE from 01micko also have the wl driver built-in to the isos.

Upup-Precise 54X4 k3.2.29 from pemasu comes similarly equipped OOTB.

[EDIT]This post is already out of date as 01micko has uploaded the next testing version 5.4.0.3 in which he has reverted to the 5.4 kernels and therefore the wl driver is included in the iso.

I'll leave it here in case further 5.4.1 Beta's use the 3.4.28-PAE kernel.
[/EDIT]

I haven't needed to post delta pets for some time as most recent new puppies have the Broadcom wl driver built in to the iso.....

01micko has released Slacko 5.4.0.2 as an 5.4.1 Beta which doesn't include the wl driver....

The delta file for Slacko with kernel 3.4.28-PAE is attached in case anybody need to install with wl driver....

Hi Peebee, i'm about to build what I hope is the final beta for mage2.

I was wondering that since there is no change to the kernel or associated components, is there a need to get a new delta pet or will it be ok to use the earlier one?

I do intend having it already built into the iso.

thanks

Hi scsijon

The latest mage2 delta is dated 10 sept 12 for k3.3.8-mage2-p64gsw-i586 and is attached - as long as the kernel is still exactly the same including the name then it will work to generate the correct wl.ko (as long as you have xdelta3 in your build).

Are you using the latest woof2? If so all should be fine as BK has built all the necessary support files produced by rerwin in.

Cheers

@peebee yes, thanks and good. So any problem is mine! Great to know.

Here is the delta file for PHATSlacko with kernel 3.8.2.

Load this followed by the multi-kernel pet from post #1

peebee · #56 Post by **peebee** » Sun 31 Mar 2013, 20:07

Attached are the delta files for:

ThinSlacko 5.5.01 with kernel 3.8.5.0 (non-PAE)

and

PhatSlacko 5.5.02 with kernel 3.8.5.1 (PAE)

Load the delta then load the multi-kernel pet from post #1 and reboot

Delta can then be unloaded if desired

Hi there, I want to download "post #1".pet files but always shows "An Error Occurred". Do you know any other links? (I have a problem to connect to wifi with broadcom wifi adaptor...)

Looks like it's a forum error.....

I've uploaded the multi-kernel pet here

The smaller delta files seem to download OK still.

Which Puppy version do you have the problem with?

Cheers

jayjays · #59 Post by **jayjays** » Fri 12 Apr 2013, 10:53

Thanks, PeeBee. I've loaded and reboot but... nothing changed.

Puppy version: 528 jp (Japanese Version)
Machine: eMachines eM350 model NAV51
Wife adapter: Broadcom 801.11 Network Adapter

Would appreciate if you could give any hints.

Cheers

Hi jayjays

Derivatives based on lupu528 need a pet with extra logic as lupu528 doesn't contain the logic that is now built-in to more up-to-date puppies.

I've uploaded the pet with the added logic for lupu528 here.
