emily | btw are the higher-rate SFP standards less fucked? like did they make things that aren't awful for 100G or whatever or is it just hell all the way up? | 12:14:52 |
K900 | At higher rates I think most things just do <whatever>MII | 12:16:03 |
magic_rb | 400 is a thing i think too, my friends new workplace has 400 between datacenters :O | 12:16:12 |
emily | I think even 800 is. I don't know if it's "a thing you can buy" but it's a thing | 12:17:17 |
magic_rb | you can definitely buy it, you just may not be able to afford it unless you sell a few kidneys :P | 12:18:15 |
magic_rb | "when people donate a kidney theyre praised, when i show up and donate 4 i get arrested" | 12:18:31 |
emily | I mean, 800 is standardized. I don't know if the products actually exist | 12:20:26 |
emily | actually I doubt this went upstream in this form – I remember feedback like "uh, no, don't touch phylink directly for this" | 12:21:16 |
emily | but it's possible it went into the Mediatek driver directly or something | 12:21:24 |
emily | is there a nice way to search all the kernel mailing lists at once? | 12:22:10 |
Alyssa Ross | https://lore.kernel.org/ | 12:23:48 |
Alyssa Ross | "search all inboxes" | 12:24:01 |
Alyssa Ross | I think that's just a shortcut for https://lore.kernel.org/all/ | 12:24:12 |
emily | oh whoops | 12:27:17 |
emily | I was getting no results and thought it was searching the list of inboxes | 12:27:24 |
emily | but that's the first button, so it probably just had no results | 12:27:28 |
emily | thanks | 12:27:44 |
emily | K900: another 2.5 thing not sure if relevant https://lore.kernel.org/all/ab77dc679ed7d9669e82d8efeab41df23b524b1f.1745617638.git.daniel@makrotopia.org/ | 12:28:45 |
emily | the first one I linked is definitely the hack patch I was thinking of | 12:28:52 |
emily | I'm just looking if there's anything else juicy on the lists, this is recent so it seems interesting | 12:29:09 |
K900 | https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/Z08kCwxdkU4n2V6x@shell.armlinux.org.uk/ | 12:29:54 |
emily | that might be for the actual 2.5G ports on the model with 2.5G ports or whatever actually | 12:29:55 |
K900 | This is what it ended up being | 12:29:57 |
K900 | That's the on-SoC thing | 12:30:10 |
emily | did this land? do you uh, understand this or the original version I linked? | 12:30:30 |
emily | I don't really know what "in-band" is. | 12:30:34 |
emily | lol this guy's sig
FTTP is here! 80Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
| 12:31:00 |
K900 | It did land yes | 12:31:34 |
K900 | I think there's another DIFFERENT weird behavior now | 12:31:46 |
