rerwin: wary511_update-1

May 06, 2011 — BarryK
Rerwin has studied some scripts in Wary 5.1.1 and has fixed some things. His posts are here:

I have applied the 'rerwin_wary511_update-1.pet' to Woof. Thanks Richard, this has some important fixes. Mostly to do with modems and sound.

Richard has also raised the issue of possible timing problems with module loading, and has supplied a PET, 'modprobe_protect-0.1.pet'. You might like to try this after the next Wary is released, for two reasons:

1. Does everything continue to work properly (or the same as) after installing it?
2. Does it solve any problems?

The particular case that it solves for rerwin is the correct loading of DGC USB modem modules -- see above forum link.
