| clever | ive got a problem with the rtl818x kernel driver | 06:35 |
|---|---|---|
| clever | it started a few releases ago but still exists in 7.10 | 06:36 |
| clever | it spews errors to dmesg when droping the wifi link | 06:37 |
| clever | rtl8180: WW:Phy writing 3 26 failed! | 06:37 |
| clever | has happened 33 times and a few other similar ones have happened(different numbers) | 06:37 |
| clever | ive found what line of source is actualy causing that dmesg output but havent figured out why its running | 06:38 |
| clever | it looks like its trying to do the same thing 70 times and returns when it works | 06:46 |
| clever | and that error im getting is after the 70 passes fails | 06:46 |

| maxlo | hello | 20:07 |
| maxlo | I am trying to contact the kernel hackers of Ubuntu | 20:07 |
| maxlo | is this the right place? | 20:07 |
| JanC | maxlo: it could be, but I'm not sure anyone is around at this time & day | 20:13 |
| maxlo | I see... what would be the appropirate date? monday-friday? | 20:14 |
| JanC | I think most of the main (paid) kernel developers are in the US, so probably mon-fri US working hours | 20:15 |
| JanC | but you could also hang around until you see someone moving ;) | 20:16 |
| JanC | there is also a kernel mailing list, but it's moderated AFAIK | 20:17 |
| maxlo | I see. thanks | 20:19 |
| soren | Anyone can subscribe and post to it, afaik. | 20:21 |
| maxlo | I was looking for some casual contact method, such as IRC :) | 20:22 |
| maxlo | I will try US working hours | 20:23 |

| yuhong | May I suggest adding a generic-pae kernel to the next version of Ubuntu? | 21:21 |
| yuhong | Currently it requires a recompile. | 21:21 |
| yuhong | How about making it the default if NX support or RAM mapped over 4G boundary is detected and if installing the desktop version of Ubuntu. | 21:22 |
| crimsun | (seriously, use the mailing list, too. Backscroll is lost easily, and not everyone reads the logs or lastlog.) | 21:22 |
| yuhong | Also how about a non-PAE server kernel? | 21:22 |
| yuhong | Make that the default if the processor does not support PAE and if installing a server version of Ubuntu. | 21:22 |
| JanC | yuhong: I guess systems with more than 4 GiB RAM have support for 64-bit anyway? | 21:25 |
| yuhong | Most of them. | 21:26 |
| JanC | on the desktop at least | 21:26 |
| yuhong | But NX support cannot be enabled without PAE. | 21:26 |
| zdzichu_ | is wasting time on PAE worthful? Even Microsoft removed support for 32bit+PAE from recent OS versions | 21:27 |
| JanC | so, it doesn't work on 64-bit, or what? | 21:27 |
| yuhong | No, they didn't | 21:27 |
| zdzichu_ | However, Microsoft has essentially abandoned PAE in the 32-bit versions of Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista.[5] This is to avoid compatibility problems with the wide variety of third-party device drivers. | 21:27 |
| zdzichu_ | 5. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929605/en-us | 21:28 |
| yuhong | Here is the real story. | 21:28 |
| yuhong | When NX is enabled, PAE is enabled with a hack that restricts the physical address space to the lower 4G. | 21:29 |
| yuhong | When PAE is enabled, PAE is enabled without this hack. | 21:29 |
