Re: Soekris Net 5501 RT2860/2850 hangs in 4.6-beta

2009-07-07 Thread Ian Lindsay
To clarify, can you give an exact procedure to reproduce? (E.g. an ftp transfer of a 100MB file from the internet to another box, routed through onboard ethernet on the Soekris) I've been getting seemingly random occasional hangs with ral in HostAP mode that I haven't been able to correlate with

I've had no problems with an rt2860 in this configuration; hostname.ral0: mode 11g mediaopt hostap chan 1 nwid gen wpa \ wpapsk `wpa-psk gen chilledbrains` \ group internal up (This interface happens to be bridged to an re(4) which is why it has no address assigned here.) But

Patch for more fins(4) chips

vga1 at pci1 dev 5 function 0 ATI Radeon X1250 rev 0x00 The default AccelMethod is apparently still XAA (even though it says it's unsupported and to please use EXA instead). Since this is an IGP, the optimal MigrationHeuristic is probably never, but greedy seems to be the best approximation :-)

Re: dlopen() functions calling symbols in parent

but the point can be made to the authors. -E exports *all* non-static symbols, which will allow loadable modules to gain easy access to symbols they are not supposed to. perhaps a more elegant solution: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
