Apr 22 09:36:18 <beewoolie-away> Hey folks.
Apr 22 09:53:08 <jacques> hi beewoolie-away 
Apr 22 09:53:23 <beewoolie-away> jacques: yo
Apr 22 10:00:27 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: lo ho
Apr 22 15:27:55 <beewoolie-away> welcome back.
Apr 22 15:36:15 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: hey, had a small power outage
Apr 22 15:36:26 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: they bringing up a new generator on the island
Apr 22 15:36:32 <beewoolie-away> That's what I like about the 3rd world.
Apr 22 15:37:37 <prpplague> hehe, we aren't third world
Apr 22 15:38:25 <prpplague> hehe, we have almost 98% broadband usage on the island
Apr 22 15:39:51 <beewoolie-away> Are you sure it isn't third world?  I thought the definition had to do with industrialization.
Apr 22 15:53:59 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: and we are industrial
Apr 22 15:54:29 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: we have everything you would use to classify beyond third world
Apr 22 15:54:46 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: home ownership, bill of rights, industries 
Apr 22 15:55:00 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: the island is about 80% self sufficient
Apr 22 15:55:24 * beewoolie-away has hooked prplague.
Apr 22 15:55:36 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: just that its similiar to a small business in the aspect that you might not have 12 fax machines, you only have two
Apr 22 15:55:46 <prpplague> beewoolie-away: hehe
Apr 22 16:25:23 <[g2]> beewoolie-away, ping
Apr 22 16:26:04 <[g2]> beewoolie-away, are the CSR 1.5 patches that you created on 9 Mar tested at all ?
Apr 22 16:26:28 <beewoolie-away> Nope.
Apr 22 16:26:40 <beewoolie-away> It builds, but I don't have any code to test it.
Apr 22 16:26:58 <[g2]> RR is telling ppl about them on and providing the URL on the avila ML
Apr 22 16:27:12 <beewoolie-away> Excellent.
Apr 22 16:27:15 <[g2]> I was going to mention that they weren't tested at all to the other ppl
Apr 22 16:27:19 <beewoolie-away> ...or not.
Apr 22 16:27:28 <[g2]> user beware issue
Apr 22 16:27:31 <beewoolie-away> I just did a bunch of hacking to get the library to build.
Apr 22 16:27:38 <[g2]> no known problems but not tested
Apr 22 16:28:04 <[g2]> it that OK with you ?
Apr 22 16:28:07 <beewoolie-away> Well, it won't be very usefulto most people since they'll need to wedge the code into the kernel.
Apr 22 16:28:14 <beewoolie-away> no problem to me.
Apr 22 16:28:22 <beewoolie-away> I don't guarantee that work.
Apr 22 16:28:22 <[g2]> I wanted to make sure I got it right from you
Apr 22 16:28:34 <beewoolie-away> Don't expect me to answer any questions about it.
Apr 22 16:28:49 <[g2]> nod. And you don't guarentee that it won't not work either :)
Apr 22 16:29:20 <[g2]> I didn't expect any answers from you, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't speaking for you improperly either
Apr 22 16:29:34 <[g2]> I've been mentioning APEX and that it works on the avila abourt
Apr 22 16:29:36 <[g2]> board
Apr 22 16:30:01 <beewoolie-away> I haven't looked at that code in a while.  Most of the work I did has to do with the fact that I'm not linking against the kernel.
Apr 22 16:30:21 <beewoolie-away> There is other stuff in there to make the symbols agree with 2.6.  That stuff might be useful to other people.
Apr 22 16:30:29 <beewoolie-away> thx
Apr 22 16:35:52 <[g2]> np, mi amigo
Apr 22 18:16:04 <[g2]> beewoolie-away, hey do you ever use ebtables ?
Apr 22 18:16:21 <beewoolie-away> ebtables?  No.  Is it like iptables?
Apr 22 18:17:06 <[g2]> yeah, allows for transparent bridging firewalls filtering at the link layer and fully interoperating with iptables
Apr 22 18:17:07 <beewoolie-away> Looks like the cisco PIX idea.
Apr 22 18:17:23 <beewoolie-away> Layer 2 switching.
Apr 22 18:17:42 <[g2]> well firewalling
Apr 22 18:17:55 <[g2]> I don't know if you can swtich, but you can drop
Apr 22 18:18:19 <[g2]> if you can replace MAC addrs then and use different interfaces then yes you could switch
Apr 22 18:18:39 <[g2]> it's in OE and I've built it but haven't run it
Apr 22 18:52:06 <beewoolie-away> Anything is possible.  Linux networking allows multiple mac addresses per interface as well as multiple IP addresses.  MAC switching has some advantages, especially when you have a limited number of IP addresses in your network.
Apr 22 18:52:13 <beewoolie-away> Cheers, bbl
Apr 22 20:05:14 <[g2]> pJames, welcome :)
