@rvdp:infosec.exchangeRamses 🇵🇸Good to know :) 12:04:52
@k900:0upti.meK900 It depends, kinda 12:05:01
@k900:0upti.meK900There's a lot of hardcoded small firmware like that in the kernel already12:05:09
@k900:0upti.meK900You can check the linux-libre sources to find all the random shit like this they delete12:05:28
@emma:rory.gay@emma:rory.gaynot sure that counts as small, seems to be multiple KBytes12:05:30
@k900:0upti.meK900Well the amdgpu firmware is like 500M12:05:53
@k900:0upti.meK900(combined)12:05:55
@k900:0upti.meK900So this is pretty small12:06:04
@rvdp:infosec.exchangeRamses 🇵🇸 Also, what am I missing here, this patch series is patching drivers/usb/eth/r8152.c but the actual driver is at drivers/net/usb/r8152.c. Am I missing something, or did they move stuff in their tree? I don't see a move in the upstream linux tree 14:18:09
@k900:0upti.meK900 I think there might be some previous patches required? I don't really know, I just found it like that 14:20:43
@k900:0upti.meK900 I think r8152 started off as PCIe though 14:20:54
@k900:0upti.meK900 Though it looks like there are RTL8152 USB devices too 14:21:47
@rvdp:infosec.exchangeRamses 🇵🇸The patch is for u-boot, not for linux, but both have a driver for these chips14:27:30
@rvdp:infosec.exchangeRamses 🇵🇸Not sure if it's exactly the same driver14:27:44
@k900:0upti.meK900Oh god14:30:09
@rvdp:infosec.exchangeRamses 🇵🇸And there doesn't seem to be a patch submitted to linux. I guess I'll try to see if the patches apply to the linux driver as well14:32:14
@sblaydes:bsd.cafe@sblaydes:bsd.cafe left the room.15:00:12
@rvdp:infosec.exchangeRamses 🇵🇸Seems like the linux and u-boot drivers diverged considerably, so there doesn't seem to be any patches out for this chip on linux currently15:22:59
@isabel:isabelroses.comisabel changed their profile picture.15:36:24

@hexa:lossy.networkhexacrazy12:48:03
@hexa:lossy.networkhexagit import w/o history12:48:36
@hexa:lossy.networkhexameh12:48:38
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyhttps://github.com/vitlabuda/tundra-nat64 seems more promising for things that already work.12:52:26
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyand the BPF things seem more promising as bases for future things.12:52:34
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyand apparently someone is working on an in-kernel SIIT.12:52:49
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI'm not sure TAYGA had a public repo, tbf12:53:33
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyit's been unmaintained for like 15 years12:53:44
