The resume is he have no time to do it now, but if we send to him patches for netifd he will merge them. He suggest start working on latest netifd used by openwrt trunk <G10h4ck> Hi! <nbd> hi <G10h4ck> I am gioacchino from libre-mesh <G10h4ck> before anything <G10h4ck> many thanks for implementing mac-vlan in uci <G10h4ck> now we need something very similar for 802.1ad vlan <G10h4ck> this would help us and more people affected by tplink shitty bridges <G10h4ck> because we have tested and 802.1ad vlan packets are not dropped by the switch, while it drop 802.1q <G10h4ck> in this page also it is reported something http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/networking/network.interfaces <nbd> right, this would need to be implemented in netifd <nbd> the code has to be changed to use netlink instead of ioctl to configure vlan devices <G10h4ck> i imagining something very similar to what you done with mac-vlan, am i wrong ? <nbd> it's a bit similar <nbd> but involves more rework of the existing code <G10h4ck> are you planning to do this soon ? <nbd> i don't have time to work on this at the moment <G10h4ck> ok <G10h4ck> how is going work with ath9k ? <G10h4ck> i remember at last WCW you talked to me about a feature that would increase speed, and cannot be easly implemented by proprietary driver because they work a lot at firware level <G10h4ck> while a good amount of memory was needed to implement that ( i remember the precondition but not the feature :P ) <nbd> it's mostly a latency improvement <nbd> still working on it, but much of the infrastructure for it is done <G10h4ck> many thanks :D <nbd> you're welcome <G10h4ck> nbd if we do a patch for netifd, there is to have the patch integrated soon ? <G10h4ck> because some time some patch need eons to be integrated :P <G10h4ck> and from what branch do you suggest to start working on this ? <nbd> if you send a patch against netifd, i will review it and merge it when it's okay <G10h4ck> ok <nbd> you should work on it with the latest git version of netifd <nbd> used in openwrt trunk <nbd> brb <G10h4ck> thanks, see you soon! _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev(a)lists.libre-mesh.org https://lists.libre-mesh.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
