Hi,

I'm trying to find out which update causes my 5G Wifi
connection to time out when authenticating.

Following the instructions in git help bisect, I
git cloned the kernel, then git bisect start, and
git bisect bad v3.9.0-rc2.

This errors with :-
  fatal: Needed a single revision
  Bad rev input: v3.9.0-rc2

and git bisect good v3.9.0-rc1 gives same error.

How are you supposed to specify the revision?

Regards,

  Mike.

It has to match a tag name if you're doing that.  So it would be:

git bisect good v3.9-rc1; git bisect bad v3.9-rc2

Note the lack of .0.

Try without the ".o", e.g.: git bisect bad v3.9-rc2
