Hi Greg,
thx for answering my e-mail. I know that there are lot of changes
between 3.10 and 3.12 kernel series. No doubt there. These are already
old driver modules I maintain until they break. Some of them are already
dropped from Arch-Linux. From the date those are alreday outdated:
slmodem-2.9.11-20080126
DPO_RT3562_3592_3062_LinuxSTA_V2.4.1.1_20101217
Build scripts can be found here:
http://git.manjaro.org/package-sources/extra/blob/aaedf1ffcd6a2acb7411ec9a3bb58bfa7b7bac3f/linux312-extramodules/slmodem/PKGBUILD
http://git.manjaro.org/package-sources/extra/blob/aaedf1ffcd6a2acb7411ec9a3bb58bfa7b7bac3f/linux312-extramodules/rt3562sta/PKGBUILD
To the drivers it self. Both are provided by companies who don't care
much about their hardware and not so much about linux. For me it was
just a weird wakeup that it worked with 3.12.3 but not with 3.12.4 anymore.
For me it is a simple solution. Dropping them from my repos. Since
slmodem so old and even the "newer" drivers break I'll remove them for good.
Here is the older one which is compiling but already tells me some errors:

So I won't waste any time on this one anymore and simply remove it for
good ...
Anyway, thx for your e-mail
kind regards
