Hi,
there is currently a mail thread about the hotkeys not working with
the default debian kernel. After a bit of search, I noticed the
patches within
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2009-11/msg00598.html
however I didn't find a conclusion.
Do you remember (or does anyone else) what happened to the patches or
how we could get hotkey support into the default kernels? Thanks!
Andi

Back then a debate started and no updated version of the patch was ever
posted. But nothing fundamentally wrong with the patch.

The old patch is out-of-date, perhaps we can start a new trip to
upstream the latest version maintained at
http://dev.lemote.com/code/linux-loongson-community.
The latest one threaded the irq interrupt handler and fixed some bugs.
Hope somebody else can work on it for I'm a little busy currently ;-)
Thanks Ralf,

Since I am new to configuring kernels, I doubt that I can help very much on this.
The 3.0.4-libre-lemote kernel from http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/lemote/gnewsense has everything except hotkey support for wireless. The CONFIG_RTL8187 and CONFIG_RTL8187B options are disabled in the config file. Typing "echo 1 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state" does nothing, even when the kernel is reconfigured with those drivers enabled.
The 2.36.8-loongson-2f kernel from http://bjlx.org.cn/loongson2f/squeeze has functional hotkey and wireless networking capability. However, the date resets to 1968 when restarted, thus messing up certificates, and scrolling with the keybad is disabled.
I would really appreciate suggestions for adding wireless/hotkey capability to the 3.0.4-libre-lemote kernel, or fixing the date problem and adding the keybad scrolling capability on 2.36.8-loongson-2f! Should I add the patch, modify options, or both?
Thanks!
Paul

I guess something may have been broken from 2.6.39 or 3.0, because I
have no enough time to continue the maintaining, sorry, hope you can
try 2.6.37 or 2.6.38 from http://bjlx.org.cn/loongson2f/squeeze
instead.
Sorry for my late response.
