| 00:01.51 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: i never got it to full-duplex mode |
| 00:02.33 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: but i do not mind, it transfers some 3 megabytes per second anyway |
| 00:08.29 | *** join/#debianppc karim (karim@ip-109.net-81-220-149.rev.numericable.fr) |
| 00:28.21 | Q-FUNK | pahartik: I had to recompile that as a module and pass options to force it to FX. now, it works. |
| 00:29.29 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: ok, good enough... |
| 00:30.58 | Q-FUNK | all 3 lights on the switch are now on. |
| 00:32.53 | Q-FUNK | still... really annoying how the default negociated mode is the least efficient one. |
| 00:36.19 | Q-FUNK | pahartik: if your 3com drivers are compiled as modules, try passing "options=12" in the modconf dialog. that's what fixed it here. |
| 00:37.11 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: they are modules... testing that... |
| 00:49.37 | Q-FUNK | IIRC, that's actually a combination of two bits: one to request 100mb and one to request full-duplex. |
| 00:55.48 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: it did not do any good |
| 00:57.24 | Q-FUNK | with neither card? |
| 00:59.23 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: ethernet adapter on my server Alpha defaults to 100 megabits per second with full-duplex |
| 01:00.03 | Q-FUNK | what is that epic card? |
| 01:00.26 | simonrvn | Q-FUNK: you can pass that in append= too. syntax is something like ether=foo |
| 01:00.34 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: but on my workstation PowerPC it only switched ethernet adapter down to 10 megabits per second instead of enabling full-dulpex |
| 01:02.03 | Q-FUNK | pahartik: which module? |
| 01:02.23 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: "Ethernet controller: Standard Microsystems Corp [SMC] 83c170 EPIC/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter (rev 09)" |
| 01:02.42 | Q-FUNK | here, it fixed it on 3c59x |
| 01:02.56 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: "3c59x" module |
| 01:04.36 | Q-FUNK | and the card is your 905C ? |
| 01:05.05 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: on server yes, on workstation no |
| 01:05.39 | Q-FUNK | ΓΆΓΆ... which one is the server now? |
| 01:06.12 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: "Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 78)" |
| 01:06.23 | Q-FUNK | ok |
| 01:06.47 | Q-FUNK | that one should accept options=12 to give you 100fx |
| 01:07.05 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: and it is Alpha and it is full-duplex by default and slow because that PCI bus is less efficient |
| 01:07.12 | Q-FUNK | the 3c595 probably wont |
| 01:08.50 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: and both are 100 megabits per second by default |
| 01:09.10 | Q-FUNK | ah yes, I also managed to make myself a decent FreeDOS boot floppy today. |
| 01:09.35 | Q-FUNK | but do they both default to FX? |
| 01:10.47 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: define "FX"? |
| 01:10.57 | Q-FUNK | to me, full-duplex is the part that is most imporant. |
| 01:11.06 | Q-FUNK | full-duplex |
| 01:12.51 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: "3c595" on workstation PowerPC is half-duplex |
| 01:13.47 | Q-FUNK | have you tried swaping those 2 cards and see if the 905C works better on that 5500? |
| 01:15.34 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: i have not, since swapping would mean that DHCP lease might get lost and i want to keep same IP address on my server :) |
| 01:15.41 | Q-FUNK | oh |
| 01:16.01 | Q-FUNK | well... I suppose next time you upgrade kernel :) |
| 01:16.49 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: i get same IP address... |
| 01:18.27 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: i do not know how Sonera's DHCP server decides about it, but it has got some effect that same MAC suddenly requests renewing DHCP lease that used to belong to another MAC... |
| 01:21.22 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: damn, that was not exactly clear way to say it... but it is somewhat difficult to manage keeping same IP addresses if i swap ethernet adapters around |
| 01:23.17 | pahartik | Q-FUNK: otherwise IP addresses stay the same, unless i switch off computers and let their DHCP leases expire |
| 01:27.48 | pahartik | simonrvn: oh, what would be better way to die... |
| 01:29.06 | simonrvn | anything but a half-duplex lan ;) |
| 01:29.26 | simonrvn | <PROTECTED> |
| 01:30.22 | simonrvn | it's ok though, i just have that and boot and etc to scp over |
| 01:30.55 | simonrvn | i'm doing the cheapie drive cloning |
| 01:33.21 | Q-FUNK | ok, now that I got this card working, I'm heading to bed. |
| 01:33.26 | Q-FUNK | 'night! :) |
| 01:33.40 | pahartik | goodnite Q-FUNK |
| 01:34.49 | simonrvn | too fast |

| 03:05.11 | malenfant | if I run screen, and get 'Cannot access '/dev/pts/522': Value too large for defined data type', what could that mean? |
| 03:05.28 | malenfant | (I was able to run screen successfully before, but this just started happening) |
| 03:05.47 | malenfant | restarting will fix the problem, but that is not very desirable :-) |
| 03:09.17 | demon | sounds like you have an old, or otherwise broken, version of screen that's trying to parse the numeric value of the pseudo tty device, and of course failing because it thinks it's too big |
| 03:09.22 | demon | file a bug |
| 03:10.34 | malenfant | k... I'm using sarge unstable - would an old or broken version still aply, do you think? |
| 03:14.07 | demon | ... are you using sarge or unstable? |
| 03:14.14 | demon | sarge is testing |
| 03:15.04 | malenfant | oh, unstable then (didn't know there was a difference, fairly new to debian :-) ) |
| 03:15.50 | demon | you're using the packaged version, right? |
| 03:16.07 | demon | if that's the case, then I'd say it's some kind of bug |
| 03:16.48 | malenfant | I am. Reporting now... thanks for your help |
