some weird problem with em network interface

2024-04-08 Thread Paulo Manoel Mafra
Hello

I've been using a pcengines apu4 board for about 3 years now. I noticed a 
problem that I can't precisely undestand with the em network interfaces (Intel 
I211).
I'm using 2 interfaces in gigabit mode, one in 100 Mbps and another in 10 Mbps.
Intefaces in gigabit mode work very well. The other ones are intermitent. 
Sometimes works and suddenly stop working.
For instance, when I ping the interfaces (100 and 10 Mbps) from another 
computer connected to the network sometimes works and sometimes don't. When the 
problem occurs, the packets don't show up in tcpdump.

I connected another interface (axe0: AX88772) in USB port and configured it 
exactly the same as a 10 or 100 Mbps interface and it works perfectly, with no 
errors at all.

My question is: is there any known problem with the em driver ?

Thanks,
Paulo.



PC Engines apu4 network performance

2021-09-08 Thread Paulo Manoel Mafra
Hello guys,
I've configured a pc engines apu4 with openbsd 6.9 and I verified the
network performance is around 550 mbit/s with pf and 700 mbit/s without.

Is there any known issue for that poor performance ?
Running another OS on the same hardware I can reach some like 920 mbit/s.

I've googled for this problem and it appears some messages from 2018.

Kind Regards,
Paulo.

Hi Paul, 

It was working on 5.6. On 5.7 it does not work anymore.

Hi guys, how about produce energy (solar energy, wind power generators,
etc) ? Has anyone some idea if it is possible and its cost ?
Maybe someone can donate this kind of material...

I have a Wistron DNMA92 with Atheros AR9220 running as Host AP.

It works fine with athn and -current. But athn driver does not
support any of the 802.11n capabilities.

Hello misc,
I've installed the magicpoint presentation tool and I would like to know
if there is any related book or complete user guide (in english,
french or portuguese). The tool seems to be very simple and easy to use,
but I would like to see what is possible to do with it.
Any recommendation ?

Thanks,

disk bad block

2006-05-03 Thread Paulo Manoel Mafra
Hi misc,
I would like to create a large partition on a disk, but this disk has a 
known bad block. How could I create the partition without the bad block ?
One solution is to create two partitions without the bad block and use
ccd. Is there another solution ?

And is there any way to isolate some bad blocks on an existing partition?
I know that I should buy another disk :-)

Thanks
