Missing CONFIG_B43_BCMA_EXTRA option in kernel config

I am running a BCM43224 wireless card on and need to recompile the kernel to make use of the card. According to the wiki, I need to ' recompile the kernel with the CONFIG_B43_BCMA_EXTRA option set to use b43.' However, after following the wiki instructions for Kernels/Compilation/Arch Build System I don't seem to have the CONFIG_B43_BCMA_EXTRA anywhere in the config.x86_64 file. Something feels not right about just adding CONFIG_B43_BCMA_EXTRA=y to the file. Is there something else I am missing?

I think that must have been removed at some point, it's probably covered by CONFIG_BRCMSMAC at a guess (brcmsmac.ko)

uncomment "make menuconfig" in the PKGBUILD if you haven't already - easier to search through and enable stuff
EDIT: that already seems to be enabled in the default Arch kernel

Need help kernel config M4A785TD-EVO

Hi,
My SSD died the other day and I got a replacement (a samsung 840 128Gb). I re-installed but unfortunately I didn't keep a copy of my kernel config file so I am creating a new one but somehow I can't get it to work. I want it without a initrd. I also have an IDE drive (/dev/sda). The SSD is /dev/sdb.
I get a kernel panic on: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,18). I don't know what option I'm missing.
I have:
Device Drivers
<*> Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers
<*> ATA SFF support
<*> ATI PATA support
Device Drivers
-*- I2C support
I2C Hardware Bus support
<*> Intel PIIX4 and compatible (ATI/AMD/Serverworks/Broadcom/SMSC)
And also:
CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y
If someone can point me at which option I might be missing that would be great.
Thanks.

problem resolved. the default arch sees my ssd as /dev/sdb and the IDE as /dev/sda when my kernel sees it the other way around, the ssd as /dev/sda and the IDE as /dev/sdb.

Can I adjust the kernel config-file? [SOLVED]

so i kicked out linux-3 kernel and installed the "aufs_friendly kernel" with the aufs2 package all went well...after the reboot i got an error "acer_wmid" failure .
my question can i rebuild the kernel WHITOUT the "acer_wmi" part from the config-file within the kernel-source ????
# Altera FPGA firmware download module
CONFIG_ALTERA_STAPL=m
CONFIG_X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES=y
CONFIG_ACER_WMI=m <<==== compiled as module and i want to get rid off...
CONFIG_ACERHDF=m
CONFIG_ASUS_LAPTOP=m
CONFIG_DELL_LAPTOP=m
CONFIG_DELL_WMI=m

anybody any ideas ??

Uncomment the "make menuconfig" line in the PKGBUILD or run that command when creating your kernel config. This will bring up the console config utility. Navigate to Device Drivers --> all the way down to X86 Platform Specific.. Toggle Acer WMI Laptop Extras using the spacebar.
gonna try ...i'd blacklisted the module for now.
You can also edit the config file directly and change the 'm' to a 'n' This will work but the reason it's not recommended is because some options are dependent on other kernel options.
tried that one .....no success
[EDIT:] Uncomment the "make menuconfig" line in the PKGBUILD = worked for me

Checking kernel config

Here are a couple of stupid shell (zsh) functions that I've been banging on to help check out the current kernel config.
Just wondering if anyone thinks this might be useful and worth expanding upon.
kc - returns any KConfig help text for the specified kernel option (don't put CONFIG_) in front
Example:
[✍] ~ $ kc TMPFS
config TMPFS
bool "Virtual memory file system support (former shm fs)"
depends on SHMEM
help
Tmpfs is a file system which keeps all files in virtual memory.
The code:
function kc() {
export SEARCH_TERM=$1
find /usr/src/linux-`uname -r` -name Kconfig -print0 | xargs -0 perl -ne '
$/ = "";
while (<>) {
while (/^(config $ENV{'SEARCH_TERM'}\s.*)/sgm) {
print "$1\n";
unset SEARCH_TERM
kcc - uses the above to go through every kernel config (that is enabled or built as a module)
Example:
[✍] ~ $ kcc
config 60XX_WDT
tristate "SBC-60XX Watchdog Timer"
depends on X86
help
This driver can be used with the watchdog timer found on some
single board computers, namely the 6010 PII based computer.
It may well work with other cards. It reads port 0x443 to enable
and re-set the watchdog timer, and reads port 0x45 to disable
the watchdog. If you have a card that behave in similar ways,
you can probably make this driver work with your card as well.
config 64BIT
depends on TILEGX
def_bool y
[...snip...]
The code:
function kcc() {
for i in `zcat /proc/config.gz | perl -ne '/^CONFIG_(.*)=[y|m]/; print "$1\n";' | sort | uniq`
do
kc $i
done

Doesn't it work out-of-the-box? The latest kernel should have a driver for your soundcard.

Change default kernel config

I'm unable to boot with the default kernel, since "BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive calls determine boot disk" is enabled.
One may wonder why is it enabled in default distro kernel anyway. Here a note
from kernel config:
"This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do not yet implement this feature."
Maybe its just me, but I really dont consider my configuration as obscure :-)
It would be great if this was removed from the default kernel unless there is a reason for it to be there?
The problem occur when I have disks attached to the one of Promise controllers.

the acpi video module is reasonably new and it can be compiled as a module iirc, so it shouldnt be any harm to have it compiled as such.

Why does FireFox look for "Chrom..........." when I close the left (last) tag and report "can't open ....? Have i missed an option that wold send it to my hom

If I close the last (left) tab to return to my desktop, firefox tries to load google Chrome and reports to me that it can't find the server.
Apparently, I have missed an option in the help area that prevents this. Any ideas?

Missing PDF Options in Acrobat Pro 8

For some reason, on some machines in the office "PDF Options" is missing when we try to print to the Adobe PDF 8.0 printer under OS X 10.4.10. Both machines are Intel-based.
Two of the machines in the office have the option, two don't.
We thought it was something specific to these machines. Then yesterday, on a brand new MacBook Pro, we reinstalled a user's license from the DVD and the same thing happened: no PDF Options. This machine had been used for two days. Microsoft Office 2004 installed, Firefox and that's it - otherwise bog standard. Never had an Adobe product on it, never had Acrobat on it. Updated to 8.1.1, no change.
We've tried completely uninstalling, trashing all the Adobe and Acrobat-related items in /Library and ~/Library, same with prefs. We've searched the entire machine for any string that includes 'adobe' or 'acrobat' and trashed them, emptied the trash, restarted, then reinstalled (re-serialising in the process). We've reset the printing system and added the printers back.
We've cleaned the cache files (using AppleJack, a great little utility), repaired permissions, reinstalled the 10.4.10 Combo Updater, DiskWarriored the machine.
We're tearing our hair out, because in our office, this option is vital to the daily work flow.
Is anyone else seeing this? Anyone got a reliable fix?

I "think" that there may be a way to correct this, but it's at your own peril if it doesn't. Then again what have you got to lose? Here is something from another public forum. It's about Acrobat 6.x and 7.x but it sounds like the same issue. If you decide to try this and it works let us know.

Re: Acrobat 7 Pro: missing PDF Options menu in all applications
Hi all,
I solved this error with Acrobat 7 by deleting the com.adobe.print.AdobePDF7 folder from the user library preferences. It may be missed by those who are deleting preferences because it is not grouped with the com.adobe.acrobat.xxx.plist files.
The equivalent folder for Acrobat 6 is called com.adobe.print.AdobePDF located in the users home library preference folder.
I hope this helps.
Best,
John"

Missing Menu Options in Flash Builder

I encountered a mystery surrounding several missing menu options in one of my Flash Builder workspaces recently. I wanted to create a new skin for a List control so I right-clicked on my skins folder and looked for the New MXML Skin option. And I looked. And I looked some more. But it wasn't there.
I happened to have another copy of Flash Builder open in another workspace so I gave it a try in that project. Sure enough, the New MXML Skin option was there along with a couple of other options that were missing in the first workspace. Here's a list of the menu options missing from the File --> New menu in this workspace:
Flash Professional Project
MXML Item Renderer
MXML Skin
I'm not sure why those menu options went missing but I was able to work around it by recreating the workspace. I simply created a new workspace, copied all of the projects into the new workspace folder and then imported all of my projects into the new folder. I then had a full set of menu items.
I poked around a bit trying to figure out what went wrong but wasn't able to find a conclusive answer. My best guess is that it has something to do with the fact that I was previously running the Flex 4 beta and that's when I created the workspace with the problem. I compared the workspace .metadata folder and, curiously, there were 25 folders inside the .plugins folder for the problem workspace but only 12 for the newly created one.

This is an eclipse thingy, menus get cached in the workspace' metadata. If you try using a newer build of Flash Builder with a workspace from the previous version, you may notice this behavior.
The workaround is to create a new workspace and import all projects there.

Default kernel config question: acpi video freezes my laptop

Hi,
I have a Samsung X60 laptop that freezes when the acpi video module is loaded. The default Arch kernel config (and the derived suspend2 one) includes as built-in some of the acpi code (including the video bit). I'm interested to learn why they are included as built in, and if there is a way to selectively skip the acpi video built-in bit of code? (more selectively than acpi=off as a kernel parameter). Would it be reasonable to request a change to the default kernel config?
cheers

bugs.archlinux.org to make sure its fixed.
the acpi video module is reasonably new and it can be compiled as a module iirc, so it shouldnt be any harm to have it compiled as such.

Hello I have the Latest version of Adobe Lightroom 5 to date (8/26/14) however just recently when I open the develop tab I'm missing two options on the right side column "Lens correction" and "Effects" I do not know I've hit some setting to remove those options or if this latest version deleted those options? Any help would be greatly appreciated and please excuse my ignorance :/

Right click next to one of the other headers and you will get a pop-up to enable the missing ones.

Settings - missing shortcuts option

This is about a E71x model. I am not aware what caused the problem but I lost my shortcuts option (Menu->Settings->Config.->General->Personalization->Idle screen mode). When I am in Idle screen mode the only option is "Idle scr. theme". I tried: restore factory configuration twice, remove the battery to no avail. I would like to avoid to try a hard reset because that would be a cure that is worse than the disease. Is there any (other) way to get the shortcuts back?
Much appreciation for a proposed solution.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Never mind - found the solution.
Well, in spite of dreading a hard reset I had to do one: it cured my problem. Needless to say you have to do a complete backup of your system. Even so you will have to do some maneuvers to get your system like it was before, but definitely it was worth it.
