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 |
Ramses 🇵🇸 | 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 | I think there might be some previous patches required? I don't really know, I just found it like that | 14:20:43 |
K900 | I think r8152 started off as PCIe though | 14:20:54 |
K900 | Though it looks like there are RTL8152 USB devices too | 14:21:47 |
Ramses 🇵🇸 | The patch is for u-boot, not for linux, but both have a driver for these chips | 14:27:30 |
Ramses 🇵🇸 | Not sure if it's exactly the same driver | 14:27:44 |
K900 | Oh god | 14:30:09 |
Ramses 🇵🇸 | 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 well | 14:32:14 |
| @sblaydes:bsd.cafe left the room. | 15:00:12 |
Ramses 🇵🇸 | 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 currently | 15:22:59 |

hexa | crazy | 12:48:03 |
hexa | git import w/o history | 12:48:36 |
hexa | meh | 12:48:38 |
emily | https://github.com/vitlabuda/tundra-nat64 seems more promising for things that already work. | 12:52:26 |
emily | and the BPF things seem more promising as bases for future things. | 12:52:34 |
emily | and apparently someone is working on an in-kernel SIIT. | 12:52:49 |
emily | I'm not sure TAYGA had a public repo, tbf | 12:53:33 |
emily | it's been unmaintained for like 15 years | 12:53:44 |
hexa | oh, that is surprising | 12:53:54 |
