 @magic_rb:numtide.com | its probably being "fixed" by something ifstate does later, i just have no fucking clue what | 14:15:14 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | ah, progress:
Jun 13 16:08:26 hela kernel: sfp sfp1: Unable to ascertain link mode
Jun 13 16:08:26 hela kernel: mtk_soc_eth 15100000.ethernet end2: selection of interface failed, advertisement 0000000,00000000,00000000,00000000
| 14:22:12 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | but i still dont know how to fix this | 14:22:18 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | right, so if i ip link set end2 up before it works, weird that you have to pull it up to be able to set the ethtool settings | 14:41:25 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | will open a bug report in ifstate | 14:41:30 |
 K900 | Yeah that depends on the MAC I think | 14:46:19 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | okay so ifstate bug then | 14:47:20 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | on a related note, my wifi broke | 14:47:25 |

| K900 | Probably need to reboot it | 14:50:22 |
| K900 | Sometimes it gets stuck in a weird state after a soft reboot | 14:50:45 |
| K900 | Cutting the power helps | 14:50:45 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | ah yeah i have been doing a lot of soft reboots | 14:51:07 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | will try cutting | 14:51:11 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | also | 14:51:14 |
 emily | the more I investigate this PPP stuff the less sense it makes | 14:51:32 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | https://gitlab.com/K900/nix/-/blob/master/shared/platform/bpi-r4.nix#L70 what does this do? | 14:51:39 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | why is it there, i copied it but i have no clue why its there | 14:51:47 |

| K900 | In reply to @magic_rb:numtide.com
https://gitlab.com/K900/nix/-/blob/master/shared/platform/bpi-r4.nix#L70 what does this do? What, the runCommand? | 14:52:19 |
| emily | how come NixOS sends the exact same requests as OpenWrt, but the ISP acks it when OpenWrt does it and ignores NixOS??? | 14:52:23 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | yeah | 14:52:33 |
| K900 | Saves me from uploading 700MB of linux-firmware to the thing every other week is what | 14:52:34 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | oh so you build a firmware which contains only firmware you actually need? | 14:52:55 |
| K900 | Less relevant now that it's on a non-shit drive | 14:53:02 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | so i shouldnt need that, got it | 14:53:13 |
| K900 | But copying that to the eMMC fucking suuuuuuuucked | 14:53:22 |
