| foobarry | if i add module options to by kernel command in grub, do they get remembered on subsequent kernel upgrades? | 11:59 |
| diddledan | yes and no | 12:01 |
| diddledan | it depends how you add it to grub | 12:02 |
| diddledan | if you edit /boot/grub/grub.conf then it'll get lost - the correct way is to edit /etc/default/grub and run `update-grub` | 12:02 |
| foobarry | ta | 12:03 |
| foobarry | need to remember this for later tonight :P | 12:03 |
| diddledan | I think I got the command name right - it's either update-grub or grub-update | 12:03 |
| foobarry | aren't there also config files for modules within the OS? | 12:06 |
| diddledan | in the olden days there used to be an /etc/modprobe.d | 12:07 |
| foobarry | has that gone? | 12:07 |
| diddledan | I don't know whether it's still there or not.. I've not had to force load specific modules in ages | 12:07 |
| diddledan | if the module is necessary for boot and can't be loaded off disk (such as a module for a raid card where the module is saved on the disk that the card controls, causing a catch-22) then it will need to be included in the initrd - in those olden days you'd edit the modprobe config and run mkinitrd | 12:09 |

| foobarry | cafe owner knows me so well. asked for bacon sandwich today. not a roll? are you unwell? well yes i am actually | 13:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | and then he asked you to pay your account of... :-P | 13:30 |
| foobarry | they only take cash... | 13:34 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: is the game over card simply "And what's this button do"? | 13:47 |
| daftykins | hahaha | 14:45 |
| foobarry | so..talktalk routers - do i need to request a firmware update or i just wait? | 14:46 |
| daftykins | one would imagine their support line has all the answers | 14:47 |
| daftykins | probably quite busy given all the issues right now though :) | 14:47 |
| * popey hugs openwrt | 14:48 | |
| daftykins | i think it's harder to get xDSL routers that can run the open ones, since the chipsets tend to have closed drivers for the transceiver portion | 14:48 |
| popey | right, but you don't have to use the wifi in the dsl router | 14:49 |
| popey | (which is what I do, switch off wifi and use my own) | 14:49 |
| daftykins | if i wanted to be a bit safer i'd have to run a minimum of 2 boxes, likely 3 | 14:49 |
| daftykins | which is a bit lulzworthy | 14:49 |
| * popey looks at his 4 routers :) | 14:50 | |
| popey | 3 running openwrt | 14:50 |
| daftykins | i've got one of those Huawei HG612s that BT used to put out for their services | 14:50 |
| foobarry | mine is hg633 | 14:50 |
| daftykins | i suspect you're referring to extra ones that are just on WAP duty? | 14:50 |
| popey | two do dhcp for two different networks | 14:51 |
| popey | one is a bridge | 14:51 |
| popey | one network is firewalled off from the rest, so guests can use that | 14:51 |
| popey | and not see mah stuff | 14:51 |
| daftykins | mmhmm | 14:51 |
| popey | i do like those netgear wndr3700v2 access points | 14:51 |
| popey | easy to flash, enough ports, multiple radios. | 14:52 |
| daftykins | N600 tops, eww | 14:52 |
| daftykins | old hat now | 14:52 |
| popey | yeah, dunno what I'd choose if I was replacing them | 14:53 |
| daftykins | anything with good specs doesn't seem to moddable | 14:53 |
| daftykins | http://netgear.co.uk/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/R6400.aspx i found this one cheap the other day so put it in for a client to get proper -ac and dual band, but no options for open firmware | 14:55 |
| daftykins | weird to find a router cheaper and better spec than most WAP models :P | 15:06 |
| daftykins | threw it on, updated firmware then disabled DHCP - done \o/ | 15:07 |
| davmor2 | I have no issues with my tplinks pretty much all of them can be flashed with both dd-wrt and open-wrt work well last well sit in the corner and do their job nicely thanks :) | 15:16 |
| daftykins | i've had one fail already, they only make very low spec ones too | 15:18 |
| davmor2 | Nothing like going ott with antenna http://uk.tp-link.com/products/details/cat-9_Archer-C5400.html | 15:18 |

| diddledan | channel4's on demand service "advert error. we're funded entirely by adverts. you may be running an ad blocker. you can see where we're going here..." | 17:44 |
| popey | 4od is terrible | 17:44 |
| popey | always has been | 17:44 |
| popey | sometimes it will show the adverts *only* and refuse to actually show the programme | 17:44 |
| diddledan | it's low res for a start | 17:44 |
| popey | and if you skip forward, you're forced to watch more ads | 17:44 |
| popey | it's the worst | 17:44 |
| daftykins | XD | 17:46 |
| daftykins | maybe they just hate FOSS? ;) | 17:47 |
| foobarry | 4od is punishment. i feel dirty watching stuff on it | 18:11 |
| foobarry | most series i have started watching, i have not enjoyed, and stopped soon after due to the adverts pain | 18:12 |
| foobarry | itv are going to a model of paying £4 a month to remove ads if you want | 18:12 |
| foobarry | yay i have fixed my wifi after not realising how chronic it was for maybe 2 years | 18:13 |
| daftykins | :) | 18:13 |
| foobarry | ping time to router now 1ms instead of 500-1000ms | 18:14 |
| daftykins | \o/ | 18:14 |
| foobarry | i don't put up with this at work. strange that i didn't realise at home | 18:14 |
| daftykins | so it was pretty much solely the intel Linux driver in the end? | 18:14 |
| foobarry | yes | 18:14 |
| foobarry | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash iwlwifi.power_save=N iwldvm.force_cam=Y" | 18:14 |
| daftykins | real shame they've gotten so bad | 18:15 |
| foobarry | ahhh irc is soo responsive | 18:15 |
| foobarry | its quite old machine (3yrs) | 18:15 |
| daftykins | doesn't matter, i think intel adapters have suffered for ages | 18:17 |
| daftykins | well, in Loonix land anyways, where simple things like wifi can't be taken for granted | 18:17 |
| diddledan | daftykins: we're not in kansas anymore | 18:37 |
| diddledan | can't take _anything_ for granted! | 18:37 |
