 K900 | Or at least has some listed | 11:11:41 |
 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I was hoping for some nice 10g unmanaged switches | 11:11:43 |
| K900 | And by some I mean three | 11:11:59 |
| K900 | That's not the same chip | 11:12:03 |
| K900 | RTL8157 is USB 3.2 to 5GbE | 11:12:08 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | yeah it just reminded me, is all | 11:13:05 |
| K900 | The switch chips I have not seen anything with yet | 11:13:18 |
| K900 | But you'll see it on STH once it drops | 11:13:24 |
| K900 | Most likely | 11:13:25 |
 emily | those Realtek 10G chips still don't look all that good to me | 11:47:36 |
| emily | they seem to have power consumption comparable to the Broadcom thing | 11:47:42 |
| emily | there are already lower-power PHY chips, they're just not in anything | 11:47:55 |
| emily | * there are already lower-power 10GBASE-T PHY chips, they're just not in anything | 11:48:00 |

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241126022515.4043-6-hau@realtek.com/ My kernel mailing list search-foo is clearly not as good as yours, because I did search for that. How do you search in the mailing list? With the search field on lore, or in your mail client? | 12:02:54 |
| K900 | Just typed "rtl8157" into the search box on lore | 12:03:11 |
| K900 | And got a hit | 12:03:15 |
| Ramses 🇵🇸 | Thanks in any case, I'll try applying those patches | 12:03:18 |
| Ramses 🇵🇸 | Hmm, I put 8157 and didn't find anything | 12:03:37 |
| K900 | Yeah it tokenizes weird | 12:03:46 |
| K900 | Sometimes | 12:03:54 |

Download clipboard.png | 12:04:34 |
| @emma:rory.gay | offtopic but isnt that supposed to go into linux-firmware? :P | 12:04:46 |
| Ramses 🇵🇸 | Good to know :) | 12:04:52 |
| K900 | It depends, kinda | 12:05:01 |
| K900 | There's a lot of hardcoded small firmware like that in the kernel already | 12:05:09 |
| K900 | You can check the linux-libre sources to find all the random shit like this they delete | 12:05:28 |
| @emma:rory.gay | not sure that counts as small, seems to be multiple KBytes | 12:05:30 |
| K900 | Well the amdgpu firmware is like 500M | 12:05:53 |
| K900 | (combined) | 12:05:55 |
| K900 | So this is pretty small | 12:06:04 |
