| 08:25 | coburn> | Alright so |
| 08:26 | coburn> | The ugly LAN disco thing reared it's head again |
| 08:26 | coburn> | but, I found out that my NBN Fixed Wireless box advertises that it can do 1Gbps, but that causes kernel log spam of the port discoing. |
| 08:27 | coburn> | So what I did was force eth0 (the left-most LAN port besides the SFP port) to 100Mbps Speed, Full Duplex |
| 08:28 | coburn> | So far, so good - it's no longer going "link is down, link is up, link is not ready, link is down, link is up" |
| 08:28 | coburn> | This is a hacky thing to do but well, blame australia |
| 09:08 | jnettlet> | coburn, sounds like the box is enabling EEE on the port but is not advertising it properly. |
| 09:08 | jnettlet> | or the kernel is missing support for it...which with LEDE is possible. |
| 09:09 | jnettlet> | this would actually cause the port link status to go up and down like that. |
| 09:22 | vpeter> | jnettlet: Do you have any idea why lede would not see pci wifi card on bot but after echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan card appear? |
| 09:23 | jnettlet> | vpeter, sounds like a timing issue. What model card? |
| 09:26 | coburn> | jnettlet: what is EEE? |
| 09:26 | vpeter> | COMPEX WLE900VX-7A - the problem is that I was using it for whole year. But now this happen. Could be related to my lightning damage but when it is found at boot it also works fine. And it happens with old lede from november 2015 and lede master. |
| 09:37 | jnettlet> | coburn, the energy efficient ethernet |
| 09:37 | jnettlet> | it is a powersavings mode |
| 09:38 | jnettlet> | vpeter, I wouldn't think that would be from lightning damage, although it is odd that a previously working image would have behaviour change. |
| 09:39 | jnettlet> | vpeter, I guess if the lightning weakened a solder joint it could take time until it heated up to make contact |
| 09:40 | jnettlet> | coburn, your router may have a power savings option in the interface. You can try turning that off and see if it helps. |
| 10:20 | coburn> | jnettlet: it's actually not a router. the NBN Fixed Wireless box is a dumb hub thing. |
| 10:20 | coburn> | It's basically a controller for the Outdoor Unity |
| 10:20 | coburn> | Unit* |
| 10:20 | coburn> | Think of it as a transceiver |
| 10:21 | coburn> | NBN ODU <-> NBN NTD (Network Termination Device) - 4x LAN Ports <-> Port 1 to Clearfog |
| 11:03 | coburn> | jnettlet: any advancements with the kernel and iwlwifi symbols? |
| 11:30 | vpeter> | jnettlet: But reboot doesn't help either. Or complete power off. It is just a hit and miss. Maybe the problem was for a longer time because I don't use wifi much (only printer and scanner every few months). |
| 11:54 | jnettlet> | hmmm |
| 13:15 | vpeter> | After pci rescan iwinfo doesn't show any useful info. Like everything in uninitialized somehow. Still investigating. |
| 14:01 | vpeter> | jnettlet: I think I got wifi working again 100%. In case pci card is not recognized on boot (most of the times) I rescan pci bus and restart wifi network. After that wifi is working fine again. Strange that it worked fine before. |
