Hello,
I need to update the MAC address on a Intel 82559 ethernet card.
Tried:
# ifconfig eth0 down
# ifconfig eth0 hw ether0 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
# ifconfig eth0 up
It seems to take effect. Ping works. I have not had time to verify
whether the MAC address is changed on the wire.

Hmm..
Thinking some more about this issue, I actually suspect that there's a
better solution.
The fact is that GFP_BUFFER is only used for the old-fashioned buffer
block allocations, and anything that uses the page cache automatically
avoids the whole issue. As such, from a VM balancing standp

the problem and to fix them.
Right now I dont see what is going on so Im not changing anything until I

As a datapoint, I've had 2.4.0-test9pre6 up over 1.5 days doing
some serious compiling for a piece of that (probably a good 6-8 hours,
but I haven't timed it with my new AMD processor lately).
I'm running X 4.0.1. I don't know where the `c' and `d' bits you
guys are talking about is coming f

That's not informative email. it even does not mention the bug.

Hi Peter,
The question you ask can be answered trivially - yes, it is definitely a
good idea, please make such a patch. But what is far from being trivial is
the magic reg. expression that is capable of catching all "globals
initialized to 0 or NULL". It would be very useful if you showed everyon
2 problems to cover with 2.4.0-test8:
- Apparently when using disk quotas, a chown() that vim does triggers an
Oops somewhere in the disk-quota code (looks like dquot_transfer() from
the traceback). I'll attach the log fragment. Same thing happens if I try
to copy a file from a non-quotaed FS to

You get a compiler warning for un-init'd __initdata va

Why is it not obvious that if you don't know who to speak to then you
should speak to _everyone_. Just broadcast your ideas to the world and
whoever feels like it will give you attention. Is this a good old
Hello!
Do you have an idea who maintains the bttv driver (or: who changed it in
2.2.18pre) ?
It has a bug, and I donno who to tell about it to.
(MAINTAINERS file has nothing about bttv, just mentions that Alan
maintains the video4linux)
Thanks,
Oren.

Hi, I'd like to use channel bonding driver for high availability.
Currenly the bonding driver does not detect a dead slave link. When a
slave link dies, it causes lots of network retransmits and the effective
speed of the bonding device drops to almost zero. This has been verified
in the lab.

There are 3 ways: 1- dropping packets (obvious), 2- buffer packets and delay
retransmission (if the receiver gets the packet later, it will ACK it
