| 05:16.56 | rwhitby | Can people fix http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/SlugOS/UsingTheBinary to refer to the imminent SlugOS (DebianSlug, OpenSlug) 3.8 binary release? |
| 05:17.05 | rwhitby | (looking for wiki editors ...) |
| 05:17.36 | rwhitby | I just copied it from OpenSlug, and it needs some fixing. If you want to help get 3.8 out the door, now is your chance. |
| 05:22.50 | rwhitby | We also need http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/SlugOS/ReleaseNotes3x8 written |

| 13:27.01 | NAiL | VoodooZ: yes! |
| 13:27.15 | NAiL | also: |
| 13:27.15 | NAiL | 11:18 < rwhitby> OpenSlug 3.8 and DebianSlug 3.8 are released. |
| 13:27.21 | koen | ah, cool |
| 13:27.33 | koen | 30 minutes before I leave for holidays :) |
| 13:27.35 | NAiL | It's not entirely announced yet :-P |
| 13:27.37 | NAiL | haha |
| 13:28.04 | NAiL | there's apparently two "bugs". We need to figure out why they're there before the release is announced |
| 13:28.32 | NAiL | http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/report/3 <-- those two. |
| 13:45.49 | NAiL | *sigh* |
| 13:46.07 | NAiL | I guess someone should write a page describing the new leds subsystem on the wiki. |
| 13:49.42 | VoodooZ | hey! Sorry. I'm at work (new job and real busy one at that) |
| 13:50.33 | NAiL | hehe |
| 13:50.47 | VoodooZ | cool. I'll have a look at it. I haven't touched my robot since the April competition and I'm moving soon. |
| 13:50.55 | NAiL | It should probably be me. I guess I'm the most familiar with the leds subsystem anyway. |
| 13:51.01 | VoodooZ | But I'm definitely going to try to be more active here. |
| 13:51.04 | NAiL | It's looking good :-D |
| 13:51.12 | VoodooZ | Great work buddy! |
| 13:51.31 | VoodooZ | I promise I'll break it for you! You know I'm good at that! :) |
| 13:51.36 | NAiL | hehe, good ;) |
| 13:51.46 | NAiL | just don't break the rootfs :-P |
| 13:51.55 | VoodooZ | Is it fully usable though? |
| 13:51.58 | VoodooZ | hehe |
| 13:52.17 | VoodooZ | what are themajor highlights/features? |
| 13:52.19 | NAiL | It appears to be. There's a lot of changes that will go into the next release (I hope) |
| 13:52.49 | NAiL | I can mail you a short list I wrote from memory... what's your mail addy? |
| 13:53.02 | VoodooZ | cool. I'm looking forward to using it on my robot. I've been kludging the old 3.1 version for too long now. |
| 13:53.12 | VoodooZ | gauthier.stephane@gmail.com from now on. |
| 13:56.19 | NAiL | there |
| 13:56.32 | NAiL | it's just a quick "from memory" thing. |
| 14:00.06 | NAiL | hmm |
| 14:00.32 | NAiL | Wasn't there someone claiming that the network performance of slugos-lag was lower than slugos-bag? |
| 14:03.21 | VoodooZ | really? Possible. Not that I use it much on my bot. I use my ZD1211 now. More power drain but worth it for debugging. |
| 14:05.46 | NAiL | power drain should be ~200mAh during network traffic IIRC |
| 14:06.30 | NAiL | unfortunately, this slugos-release won't support the zd1211rw-driver (The rewrite-project that hopefully makes a *proper* driver). |
| 14:07.34 | NAiL | so we'll have to stick with the "old" release (iirc, there's 8 revs between what's in the feeds and the latest driver available. Gotta test the new driver soon) |
| 14:08.45 | NAiL | The kernel modularization didn't happen for this release. There's too much work getting the proper modules loaded at boot, and it'll need a fair bit of testing. |
| 14:09.05 | VoodooZ | a complete rewrite? by the same guys? cool. |
| 14:09.17 | NAiL | yeah |
| 14:09.20 | NAiL | well, kindof |
| 14:09.26 | NAiL | they can't rewrite the firmware ofcourse |
| 14:09.32 | VoodooZ | yeah, the usb dongle is 150ma at idle the spec says. |
| 14:09.35 | NAiL | but they're rewriting the kernel module |
| 14:09.57 | VoodooZ | nice. It wasn't that unstable before but that should be even better. |
| 14:10.04 | NAiL | they're talking to the zydas engineers and suggesting fixes ;-) |
| 14:10.55 | NAiL | if we're lucky, the zd1211rw driver will be in the next release as an official vanilla kernel-module |
| 14:11.34 | NAiL | (the -rw driver requires some in-kernel wireless fancyness that wasn't added until 2.6.17-pre-something |
| 14:12.49 | VoodooZ | I see. |
| 14:13.22 | VoodooZ | I hope the new release has a better turnup as I couldn't get turnup memstick to stick. it worked only some times. |
| 14:13.30 | NAiL | there has been fixes |
| 14:13.44 | VoodooZ | I needed it to install all the junk required by zd1211 and others. |
| 14:13.45 | NAiL | happened between 3.6/3.7 IIRC |
| 14:13.48 | VoodooZ | nice. |
| 14:14.05 | VoodooZ | I'm not sure which version my robot used anymore. 3.1 or maybe 3.6 |
| 14:14.55 | NAiL | it's been a messy road to release :-P |
| 14:24.16 | VoodooZ | yep. Almost there though. |
| 14:41.19 | VoodooZ | Anybody has a text based Hex editor to recommend? unless vim can do it? |
