ipw2200 is causing a kernel oops in v2.6.25-rc2. The module seems to load OK but it dies when the interface is initialized.

v2.3 installed

I got WordPress v2.3 installed with no serious issues, yet. Upgraded Barthelme to one that supports WP v2.3 and my Comment Timeout plug-in still seems to work.

resolv=open("/etc/resolv.conf","r")
for line in resolv.readlines():
#The first test checks if the line has already been "skipped". The second test
#checks for servers which do not have a private address. Finally, the else
#condition will commment out any uncommented private servers.
	if sre.search('Skip', line):
		tmp=tmp+line
	elif not sre.search('192.168.1*', line):
		tmp=tmp+line
	else:
		tmp=tmp+"#Skipped! Bad router! #"+line
resolv.close()

…and my Preserve Code Formatting plug-in still works. Yay! for me. :) This little treadmill exercise is almost over.

Upgrade treadmill

v2.3.3 is the latest version of WordPress. I was wondering why I couldn’t upgrade directly to v2.3 but I see now that there is a upgrade path from version to version. So I clicked to upgrade from v2.1 to v2.1.3 then the next step will be v2.2.1. I’ll wait a couple of days to see if I notice anything broken then I’ll upgrade again.
