[03:35] <sponix> I'll just do my best to fine a bug report .. Sorry if I disturbed anyone

[10:30] <asac> pitti: how should a MIR look like if its just for some parts?
[10:31] <asac> e.g. one binary package

[15:25] <ogra> BenC, had a good trip ?
=== TomaszD is now known as Guest33196
[15:30] <BenC> ogra: 13.5 hour drive...but it was nice
[15:30] <ogra> :)
[15:30] <BenC> ogra: how's things in waltham?
[15:31] <ogra> funny, there was a marriage in the hotel last night
[15:31] <laga> did someone marry their ebox?
[15:31] <ogra> lots of bikers, burnouts at 1am with an exploding tire etc
[15:32] <BenC> kick ass
[15:32] <ogra> i got the 2.4.26 kernel runing on the cmpc btw
[15:32] <ogra> and indeed it fixes the prob
[15:32] <BenC> you mean 2.6.26, right? :)
[15:32] <ogra> but only applying the r8169 changes for .26 to .24 doesnt help :/
[15:32] <ogra> yeah, indeed :)
[15:33] <ogra> i saw there is a lot changed in af_packet as well ... but that doesnt build if i dont lso have all the socket.h changes ... which was the point where i gave up las night
[15:34] <ogra> not sure where to go from here ...
[15:34] <BenC> check pci quirks
[15:35] <BenC> if it isn't the driver itself, that's about the only other place where I can see something getting fixed
[15:35] <BenC> (I can't see a bug in af_packet only affecting one device, but I guess it's possible)
[15:35] <ogra> well, its an issue of the NIC not replying to dhcp offers, thats why i suspected af_packet
[15:36] <BenC> ogra: does setting the IP manually make it work otherwise?
[15:36] <ogra> but it doesnt work with static IP either ...
[15:36] <BenC> ok, then definitely not af_packet :)
[15:36] <ogra> well, not sure if the hotel network doesnt block here
[15:36] <BenC> direct PC-to-PC ethernet should tell you though
[15:37] <ogra> might be that the router only accepts connections the dhcp server gave out before
[15:37] <ogra> good idea, i hope one of the cards i have here does autosensing .... i have no crossover cable with me
[15:38] <BenC> most modern PHY's have autosensing now adays
[15:38] <ogra> yeah
[15:38] <ogra> but i have never used my lappies wired interface, so i'm not sure
[15:39] <ogra> meh, firs some fiddling ... i dont have a -19 kernel on the cmpc atm ... damned space constraints
[15:39] <ogra> *first
[15:40] <ogra> btw, we should look that we start generating the initramfs in /tmp instead of boot ... i constantly run into space issues with /boot through that
[15:43] <norsetto> asac: I guess you haven't received my last email?
[16:18] <ogra> BenC, oh, that smells related http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=121498012600793&w=2
[16:18] <ogra> (even though i dont see it at all in 2.6.26)
[16:21] <ogra> hmm, even more ... http://userweb.kernel.org/~romieu/r8169/2.6.26-rc9/20080710-r8169-test.patch
[16:26] <BenC> ogra: ah, comes from mario too
[16:26] <BenC> ogra: going to give it a try?
[16:26] <BenC> ogra: transient may include "works in 2.6.26 and not in 2.6.24"
[16:28] <ogra> well, it seems we have it in .24
[16:28] <ogra> http://paste.ubuntu.com/28741/
[16:29] <ogra> what i wonder is if the call:
[16:29] <ogra> 1441 dprintk("Set MAC Reg C+CR Offset 0x82h = 0x01h\n");
[16:29] <ogra> 1442 RTL_W8(0x82, 0x01);
[16:29] <ogra> that actually happens before the "if (tp->mac_version == RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_02) {" doesnt trash it for me already
[16:30] <ogra> it somehow looks like wrongly ordered for me .... but its not different in .26 though
[16:31] <ogra> if only kernel builds wouldnt take a century :/
[16:31] <BenC> ogra: hehe, it's easy to just build one driver
[16:36] <BenC> ogra: mkdir ../build; cp /boot/config-`uname -r` ../build/.config; make O=`pwd`/../build prepare; make O=`pwd`/build drivers/net/8169.ko
[16:38] <BenC> ogra: or: mkdir tmp; cd tmp; cp ../drivers/net/8169.c .; echo "obj-m = 8169.o" > Makefile; make M=`pwd` -C /usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`
[16:38] * BenC could go on and on
[16:49] <ogra> ah, when i clean out the typos it actually works :)
[16:51] <highvoltage> :)
=== gaurdro_ is now known as gaurdro
[16:52] <ogra> intresting, dropping the RTL_W8(0x82, 0x01); line makes dmesg look a lot better (i get proper link up/down messages now) but doesnt make it work
[16:53] <ogra> well, but that looks like i'm on the right path ...
[16:53] <ogra> yay, something to fill my bored sunday with ...
[17:44] <lamont> what's the plugin to have firefox claim to be IE7/Windoze?

[19:05] <lamont> highvoltage: that did the trick -thanks
[19:05] <ion_> benc: Btw, is there an intention to release a new Linux image soonish?
[19:06] <highvoltage> lamont: you're welcome.
[19:19] <ogra> hmpf, seems no matter what i do with the direver cant get it to work ... even using the complete code from 2.6.26 doesnt help

[22:32] <alex-weej> that's obsolete now right?
[22:32] <alex-weej> someone mentioned this here a couple weeks back to me but i can't remember what they said had taken over
[22:43] <pwnguin> there cant be that many open blueprints

[23:17] <hmuller> Is it safe to assume the uvesafb/v86d problem (x86_64) is a known issue with the current daily-live? I didn't see a respective bug in Launchpad.
[23:20] <hmuller> And is it too early to be reporting bugs for missing firmware in Intrepid?
