Syntax error in lrm-manager: /sbin/lrm-manager: line 51: syntax error near unexpected token `)'

[Javier Noval]

Binary package hint: linux-restricted-modules-common

I found that the modules for my Atheros card were not available when I upgrade my linux-image-generic to 2.6.26-3 (and its corresponding restricted-modules package). The modules where in the latter, but they where not being made available. I was able to trace the bug to lrm-manager, which produces the following error:

$ sudo lrm-manager --kver=2.6.26-3-generic
/sbin/lrm-manager: 51: Syntax error: ")" unexpected (expecting ";;")

The offending lines are:

49 case "$1" in
50 ath_hal)
51 madwifi)
52 set -- $@ ath_hal ath_pci ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_minstrel \

I changed it to the following, after reading dash's manual page, and is now working:

49 case "$1" in
50 ath_hal|madwifi)
51 set -- $@ ath_hal ath_pci ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_minstrel \

Confirmed. Javier thanks very much for the workaround.

Was fixed quite some time ago.
