00:17 <****> :)
00:24 <****> clijunkie: It's not Unixful, but possibly the best tool for your job is to access the directories through a Samba share.
00:29 <****> ok cool
00:36 <****> http://cgi.ebay.com/Intel-Quad-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Card-PRO-1000-MT_W0QQitemZ110208187832QQihZ001QQcategoryZ51196QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
00:36 <****> daaayyyuuum
00:37 <****> setup bonding ;)
00:38 <****> that card would eat up half of all the ports on my switch lol
00:38 <****> i stick those in servers all day long =)
00:39 <****> phrag: do you like them? they play nice?
00:39 <****> high availability ftw
00:39 <****> we've never had any complaints... ibm like intel ethernet cards
00:39 <****> nice
00:39 <****> pricey though
00:40 <****> yeah i'm going to end up going with the single port XT i think
00:40 <****> now that you talk about it, aren't intel ethernet cards one of the best cards in the market?
00:40 <****> s/one/some/
00:40 <****> rg3: yeah i think so
00:40 <****> i currently use an intel pro100
00:42 <****> I always read about how the cheap realtek cards shouldn't be used in serious network equipment because they load the machine too much, while the intel cards are supposed to be nicer on the OS and CPU
00:42 <****> i think it's kinda sexy
00:42 <****> hehe
00:42 <****> that intel card :)
00:42 <****> hehe
00:48 <****> mufti! :-)
00:48 <****> i like the idea of a dual port nic for a router, one slot, 2 ports
00:50 <****> iirc you can get Intel PRO/1000 with 4 and 8 ports too :P
00:50 <****> that would be cool :)
00:50 <****> macavity: yeah i just spammed this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Intel-Quad-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Card-PRO-1000-MT_W0QQitemZ110208187832QQihZ001QQcategoryZ51196QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
00:50 <****> nullboy: i have one word for you.... TINYURL!!! ;-)
00:51 <****> you know with the right bus interface and a decent system you could make a very cheap cisco killer with one of those cards
00:51 <****> aye
00:52 <****> however, what i want from the next gen Intel nicks is PPPoA in hardware, and an RJ11 port on selected models
00:53 <****> that would make my torrent'ing ass' day ;-)
00:53 <****> lol
00:53 <****> PPPoA in hardware sounds bitchen
00:53 <****> sounds what?
00:53 <****> beeotchen
00:53 <****> im not blind..
00:54 <****> bizzling nizzilating?
00:54 <****> "explain please what you refere to when you utilize the term 'bitchen/beeotchen'"
00:54 <****> what?"
00:54 <****> bitchen is slang for "kicks ass" or "rocking" or "totally awesome"
00:55 <****> ah, i thought it meant dificult
00:55 <****> difficoult?
00:55 <****> oh no that's "it was being a bitch"
00:55 <****> in that context it means difficult
00:55 <****> thx
00:55 <****> but bitchen/bitchin means awesomeness
00:56 <****> aye
00:57 <****> boxen very cheep and easy
00:57 <****> 4port NIC would make you gay? =)
00:57 <****> SiegeX6: huh?
00:59 <****> Nice article you guys: http://www.linux-tip.net/cms/content/view/333/26/
00:59 <****> gay means 'happy' in this context
00:59 <****> OHHH!!! some routers will let pass the PPPoE straight through if you ask them politely!
01:00 <****> s/let//
01:00 <****> that would rock max!
01:00 * macavity is one step closer to his goal now
01:00 <****> and your goal is?
01:02 <****> macavity: so basically move the dsl modem into the NIC?
01:02 <****> to build a router that connects "directly" to the ADSL host, since those crappy ZyXell routers that all the Danish ISPs deliver chockes at 1K connections
01:03 <****> macavity, yeah, that would be cool :)
01:03 <****> SiegeX6: uhm.. yeah.. uhm.. something like that at least :P
01:03 <****> cant you put those zyxell's in bridge mode?
01:03 <****> and just do pppoe on your linux box
01:04 <****> well that is what i just found out
01:04 <****> ahh, that is what im doing with mine
01:04 <****> I had to infact, otherwise ipv6 would not work
01:04 <****> ...when my modem was doing the pppoe
01:04 <****> sweet
01:06 <****> tack on some QoS queuing and you got a pretty sick setup
01:06 <****> time to build a "several Intel PRO/100[0] NICs + latest Atheros card + firewire connected precission clock (stratum ~0.5)" box :-)
01:07 <****> i dont need no stinging QoS :P
01:07 <****> *stinking
01:07 <****> everybody can benefit from QoS
01:07 <****> at the very least for ARP prioritization
01:07 <****> not a single user on a single line who just wants 10K connections :P
01:08 <****> and ill probably max the line out flat way before i reach that ;-)
01:08 <****> but since udp NAT takes two connections in the routing table, current setups bail out at 500 peers :-/
01:10 <****> QoS is great if you have an SLA with your ISP
01:11 <****> otherwise they don't have any obligation to honor any of that
01:11 <****> anyone tried to setup hostapd with a RaLink rt2561/rt61 wifi card?
01:11 <****> SLA?
01:11 <****> service level agreement
01:12 <****> plee: uhm... i have an rt73, and it will *not* do host AP
01:12 <****> plee: i use an EnGenius EMP-8602S in my AP http://home.pacbell.net/morticus/gateworks/
01:12 <****> it rocks your socks off
01:12 <****> macavity, yeah.. this one is kinda both ways.. hehe Some people say that it works.. but I cant get it to work :(
01:13 <****> QoS is great for any NAT box
01:13 <****> SiegeX6: it's great right up until it leaves your boarder router, after that it's in god's hands
01:13 <****> nullboy, cool :)
01:15 <****> well this is why you put the max uplink speed to a fraction of your actual link speed, this way your box owns the queue.
01:15 <****> SiegeX6: what i'm talking about is after it leaves your networking equipment. the ISP has no obligation to honor any tagging at all
01:15 <****> im not talking about the TOS fields
01:16 <****> although that is nice
01:16 <****> plee: have you checked with the RaLink feture matrix that that particular chip can in fact work as an AP?
01:16 <****> im talking about the ability to have say 10 hosts behind a nat box, and one of them wants to run bittorrent and grab all the bandwidth. You dont want this to slow down everybody else that is trying to use irc,ssh, or web browsing for instance
01:16 <****> that is what QoS gives you
01:17 <****> SiegeX6: yeah it's perfect for that
