[05:19] <bps> i have a realtek nic (lspci: https://dpaste.de/MZXfY/ ) that silently stops working after use, and i found a patch that worked ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/8/28 ) only the fix doesn't appear to be in the kernel: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c#n4192

[12:55] <skaet> rtg,  for Alpha 1 are there any highlights that should be mentioned with the current kernel version?
[12:56] <skaet> rtg_, ^
[12:56] <rtg_> skaet, you're still on a 3.9 kernel, right ?
[12:59] <rtg_> https://www.linux.com/news/software/linux-kernel/716624-6-key-new-features-in-linux-39
[12:59] <rtg_> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM2MDU
[13:00] <skaet> rtg_, The Alpha 1 Saucy Salamander snapshot includes the 3.9.0.7 Ubuntu Linux kernel which is based on the the upstream v3.9.7 Linux kernel. 
[13:00] <skaet> or at least that's my understanding.
[13:00] <rtg_> that is true
[13:06] <rtg_> apw, note that, when next you rebase saucy, there will be  a conflict against drivers/net/ethernet/atheros/alx (which was just merged in Linus' repo)
[13:06] <skaet> rtg_,  if there's nothing specific that the kernel team wants to highlight, will choose a couple of highlights from those links then
[13:07] <rtg_> apw: I had been carrying a linux-next patch for that
[13:07] <rtg_> skaet, thats fine with me. 3.9 was temporary. we're ultimately gonna end up on 3.11
[13:07] <skaet> rtg_, gotcha.  thanks
[13:28] <apw> rtg_, ack thanks
[13:36] <apw> rtg_, i did an upload on manta today to disable aa by default; seems they have no control over the command line in that boot loader [sigh].  something to keep in mind
[13:36] <rtg_> apw, ack, saw that
[14:24] <ppisati> brb
[14:52] <Kano> hi, can somebody update linux-firmware against firmware.git
[17:22]  * rtg_ -> lunch
[21:45] <infinity> smb: Your current linux-ec2 appears to have two changes beyond just the rebase.  You want to go about verifying that those do what you wanted them to do, and set the verification testing task on the tracking bug so it can progress?
