[09:17] <rmg51> Morning JonathanD
[09:17] <JonathanD> Howdy rmg51
[09:18] <rmg51> hey
[11:28] <MutantTurkey> the precise upgrade locked me out of my system
[11:28] <MutantTurkey> sigh
[11:30] <MutantTurkey> it overwrote my sudoers and now i am up the creek
[13:15] <InHisName> Morning
[13:55] <MutantTurkey> my professor looks like a cross between RMS and a mountain man
[13:55] <MutantTurkey> waltman: hey are you good at math?
[15:14] <ChinnoDog> ff/away
[15:14] <ChinnoDog> doh
[15:20] <ChinnoDog> hi peeps
[15:29]  * waltman gobbles in hopes of bringing back MutantTurkey
[16:15] <InHisName> I have an astlinux system for my router.   Its based on gentoo from 7 years ago.  There is no emerge to install things with.  I want to fix setting on eth2 to 100Mbps full-duplex, but google only turns up 2 tools: mii-tool and ethtool, neither installed on my machine.   Now I found reference to changing /etc/modules.conf but I don't see a clue what to do in there, yet.
[17:36] <InHisName> Doing a google on: modules.conf e1000 100Mbps full-duplex
[17:36] <InHisName> turned up some useful references
[17:38] <InHisName> I added the following stuff in [module] section before [global]   -- alias eth1 e1000               options e1000 Speed=100 Duplex=2
[17:38] <InHisName> It appears to be working right at bootup, now.
[17:39] <InHisName> Is there a way to query the eth2 / e1000 item to see what the speed & duplex really is at ?
[18:32] <InHisName> Any comments anyone ?
[18:48] <jedijf> lshw as root will show if it's available
[18:48] <jedijf> lshw -C network is less noisey
[19:07]  * ChinnoDog sits quietly noming big bag of M&Ms
[20:16] <InHisName> I tried the lshw and got this error:  -sh: lshw: command not found
[20:17] <InHisName> uname -a    [20:17] <InHisName> I'ts an old gentoo fixed to be very small.  Fits in a 44M partition.
[20:29] <mobileturkey> I met gary johnson today!

[20:30] <ChinnoDog> Who is Gary Johnson and why should we be impressed?
[20:31] <mobileturkey> two term governer of new mexico and is running for president, for the Libertarian party
[20:31] <InHisName> He kinda looks like the Gary Johnson, presidential candidate, Is it him ?
[20:32] <InHisName> Oh you answered already
[20:32] <mobileturkey> Yes that's him
[20:33] <jedijf> InHisName: mii-tool?
[20:35] <jedijf> InHisName: or better yet, just write it the way you want it in modules.conf
[21:36] <InHisName> mii-tool not installed.   No installer.  Disk nearly full.
[21:38] <InHisName> I thought I had put it into modules.conf, but it still 'broke'.   Seems to loose cnx tween  192.168.15.135 and 192.168.15.1 <-- the gateway and 4G modem.    I'm guessing it is in auto mode and keeps jumping into 10Mbps & half-duplex.
[21:41] <InHisName> I put this below into modules.conf  -- but it still lost  cnx
[21:41] <InHisName> alias eth2 e1000
[21:41] <InHisName> options e1000 Speed=100 Duplex=2
[21:42] <InHisName> In [modules] section
