WARNING!! Kernel upgrade for those using antiX-M8-test2

WARNING!! Kernel upgrade for those using antiX-M8-test2

Postby anticapitalista on Mon Nov 24, 2008 7:01 pm

This should only affect those using antiX-M8-test2.

Before upgrading/dist-upgrading REMOVE tg3 package via synaptic or

#apt-get remove --purge tg3

If you got caught and upgraded and got error message

#apt-get remove --purge tg3
#apt-get update
#apt-get dist-upgrade (or apt-get upgrade)

It was installed in antiX-M8-test2.

It is a driver for a broadcom netlink bcm5787m card.

It is now in the latest 2.6.27-7 MEPIS kernel and in conflicted with the installed driver.
