 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 |
| K900 | In reply to @magic_rb:numtide.com
oh so you build a firmware which contains only firmware you actually need? Well, "build", as in I just yoink the one directory I care about from nixpkgs linux-firmware | 14:53:43 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | last time i had that, it was due to the hardware of the bpi not being able to handle sub 40 byte packets properly, but that fixed made it into franks tree (courtesy of yours truly) and then i assume into k900's tree and maybe mainline? | 14:54:03 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | yeah i just was confused what youre doing there, because it seemed like you were doing exactly what you were doing, but i failed to consider the why | 14:54:23 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | now it makes sense :) | 14:54:27 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | okay, ill try the hard reboot | 14:54:42 |
| emily | wait are you on PPP too? | 14:54:49 |
| K900 | I am actually not sure if that fix is in mainline | 14:54:59 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | yes, KPN in the NL does PPPoE | 14:55:01 |
| K900 | But it's not in mainline..my current tree | 14:55:08 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | well, it must be somewhere, because my internet works | 14:55:25 |
| K900 | On 6.16-rc1? | 14:55:34 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | uh | 14:55:42 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | no 6.1 | 14:55:49 |
| emily | if there's a kernel patch I can try applying I'll apply it. | 14:55:52 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | * no 6.15 | 14:55:53 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | right, so emily if youre on 6.16 you probably dont have the fix | 14:56:03 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | so its silently dropping packets at the hardware level | 14:56:12 |
| emily | can I convince you to share your pppd configuration and the network configuration of the underlying WAN interface and the PPP interface on top? I'm going kind of insane debugging this stuff | 14:56:33 |
| emily | especially if you have working v6 | 14:56:37 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | i dont have v6 | 14:56:42 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | and sure | 14:56:50 |
| @magic_rb:numtide.com | but like | 14:56:53 |
| emily | fwiw if I set default-mru then it authenticates fine and I get v4 | 14:57:03 |
