[03:01] <Nafallo> note to self: try out para-XEN on silverfairy
[04:40] <mjg59> kylem: Rock, ipw3945 d80211 is now functional
[04:40] <mjg59> I'll work on that tomorrow (in my wireless blitz)
[11:19] <KenSentMe> I think there is a problem with the new 2.6.17-11 kernel along with nvidia kernel module. X won't start anymore and there are more people with this problem
[03:11] <kylem> mjg59, you are so full of the awesome. thanks!
[03:11] <kylem> mjg59, dscape ipw3945 is the one not-requiring the binary daemon, correct?
[03:12] <mjg59> kylem: Correct
[04:18] <kylem> BenC, did you manage to get acx going on ia64?
[04:18] <kylem> BenC, (sorry, i didn't test build on the non-release arches... :(
[04:22] <kylem> BenC, also, i'm thinking of switching feisty from doing MMCONFIG with fallbacks to whitelist MMCONFIG on some chipsets, but use DIRECT pci access by default, with fallback to BIOS. i've noticed quite a few bugs where turning on pci=nommconf fixes bugs. :(
[04:25] <kylem> fabbione, aside from the delay, how was your trip home?
[04:26] <fabbione> kylem: ok i would say...
[04:26] <fabbione> managed to sleep almost all the flight
[04:26] <fabbione> but i did miss a penguin to cuttle...
[04:27] <kylem> yeah yeah, i'll ship it this week, relax a bit. ;P
[04:27] <fabbione> hahaha
[04:27] <fabbione> might as well wait May at UDS
[04:27] <fabbione> reall
[04:27] <fabbione> it's not worth shipping 
[04:28] <kylem> well, netwinder with it.
[04:28] <mjg59> http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/networking.mspx
[04:28] <fabbione> up to you really.. 
[04:28] <mjg59> Find the "network mapping" section
[04:28] <mjg59> Wonder how it does that
[04:29] <kylem> haze of bong smoke, etc.
[04:30] <kylem> UPNP probably
[04:31] <fabbione> nmap ?
[04:32] <fabbione> there are small and simple tools to do stuff like that
[04:32] <fabbione> even one for linux
[04:32] <mjg59> Including working out whether something's the other side of a bridge or not?
[04:32] <fabbione> mjg59: last i used it it was about 4 years ago..
[04:33] <fabbione> no idea what it can do now
[04:33] <fabbione> but it's nothing different than HP OpenView discovery mechanism
[04:34] <kylem> do the little linksys doohickeys to snmp?
[04:34] <mjg59> Doubt it
[04:34] <kylem> thought not.
[04:34] <mjg59> I guess it's either upnp or (possibly) spanning tree?
[04:35] <kylem> i wonder if i can use dmi to nix mmconfig... hmm.
[04:36] <mjg59> kylem: I'm sure you can, but I'm fairly sure you don't want to
[04:36] <kylem> right, i'd rather whitelist using it. heh.
[04:36] <mjg59> Windows still doesn't use mmconfig
[04:36] <mjg59> So I certainly wouldn't be unhappy disabling it by default
[04:36] <kylem> agreed
[04:36] <kylem> right now we do ANY, which does mmconfig -> direct -> bios fallbacks.
[04:37] <kylem> the problem is we don't do a good job detecting broken mmconfig and so shit breaks in nasty ways. :(
[04:39] <mjg59> kylem: Bad news is that I'm going to have to feed you some slightly updated d80211 code
[04:39] <fabbione> mjg59: spanning tree won't help much alone..
[04:40] <kylem> mjg59, what's the good news?
[04:40] <fabbione> anyway
[04:40] <mjg59> kylem: Give me a sec and I'll let you know how good bcm4311 support is now
[04:40] <fabbione> i am off to turn off N+1 too many candles on my bday cake and play with my son a bit
[04:40] <fabbione> cya on monday
[04:40] <mjg59> Just need to grab the firmware and swap the cards
[04:41] <kylem> mjg59, *hugs*
[04:42] <mjg59> Once that's done, I'll give the new ipw3945 code a test
[04:42] <kylem> thanks!
[04:43] <mjg59> Just need to find some screwdrivers...
[04:44] <mjg59> Jesus. Sony really don't make it easy to get at the mini-PCIe socket.
[04:53] <mjg59> Gah. I've odne this before, but can't remember how.
[05:06] <navber> guys
[05:06] <navber> what was the xen issue y'day
[05:06] <navber> from xensource
[05:07] <navber> BenC: ping
[05:09] <mjg59> Ok, so hal believes that I have no PCI devices
[05:09] <mjg59> Other than that, things look good
[05:10] <navber> dammit i want that link
[05:10] <navber> :D
[05:10] <navber> anyone recalls that ridiculous post on xensource?
[05:11] <navber> or was it devxnews
[05:13] <mjg59> Hm. Except I don't seem to be getting any incoming packets.
[05:13] <navber> ok got it http://www.devxnews.com/article.php/3658001
[05:13] <navber> what was the issue again ?
[05:13] <navber> something about virtualization
[05:14] <mjg59> navber: I have no idea what you're talking about
[05:14] <mjg59> Oh. Now it's started working.
[05:14] <navber> BenC and a few others were discussing it y'day
[05:17] <mjg59> kylem: So I'm getting ~340K/sec with bcm4311 now
[05:18] <mjg59> Which is much better than it used to be
[05:20] <navber> you know during cross compilations the difficult bit is  building the cross compiler isnt it? ... but once its built then its a breeze
[05:27] <mjg59> kylem: Ok, this is definitely better than what we've currently got. Just want to test on bcm4318 as well first.
[06:15] <mjg59> kylem: Hm. Yeah, there's definitely some sort of issue where the card doesn't seem properly associated to begin with
[06:48] <kylem> mjg59, with bcm4318 you mean?
[06:53] <mjg59> No, bcm4311
[06:53] <mjg59> Moving onto bcm4318 next
[06:54] <mjg59> Just need to wait for the machine to finish updating before I swap the cards
[06:57] <kylem> ah
[07:55] <mjg59> kylem: Score. iwlwifi seems to work well.
[08:02] <mjg59> kylem: bcm4318 still isn't great, though. I'm only getting about 50K/sec
[08:57] <BenC> kylem: yeah, ia64+acx is building now
[08:57] <BenC> and I saw the mmconfig thing too..your fix sounds reasonable
[09:06] <mjg59> BenC: Did the new LRM get into the security upload?
[09:06] <mjg59> I've seen a couple of bugs that could be explained by it being missing
[09:07] <BenC> I'd have to ask pitti about that one
[09:11] <mjg59> BenC: Also, current git seems to break hal
[09:11] <mjg59> Updating hal to newer upstream code rectifies this
[09:11] <BenC> How does the kernel break hal?
[09:12] <BenC> lrm has trunk code of madwifi
[09:12] <BenC> or do you mean the new-hal branch?
[09:12] <mjg59> Not madwifi hal
[09:12] <mjg59> hald
[09:12] <mjg59> The userspace app
[09:18] <BenC> ah
[09:18] <BenC> too man hal's
[11:38] <markedwards> Has the sky2 ethernet driver hang issue been fully fixed in the recent 2.6.17.11 kernel update?
[11:40] <mjg59> !
[11:40] <mjg59> With openhal
