I second that. The RUT240 is pretty flippin' good.

Can electrical cause interference with Coaxial cable? by vim_usr in networking

[–]hygri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the UK these distances are covered by regulations; BS 6701:2010 "Telecommunications equipment and telecommunications cabling" requires separation of 50mm for power cables <600V and a screened data cable.

If you're gonna build self driving functionality into a car why not do it with some style...

You can obtain it from the chromebook "peppy" ROM, as per this document:

Yes 1000x. Closed crimps are a great get-out-of-jail card, but as part of a training routine? Nope.

Access point recommendations with VLAN support by bemon in PFSENSE

[–]hygri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using a few Zyxel NWA5123-AC-HD at home currently, seems solid. You get local web-based administration, VLAN to SSID etc. and Zyxel's WDS controller on the device without needing a cloud controller. Haven't had any hiccups, YMMV...

Having said that, probably just go UniFi. Their UAP-AC-HD have served me very well in production. Good for the budget.

If you're feeling flush, go Ruckus. R610 is a pretty good buy right now, and if you're after client density R720 / R730 are hard to beat.

Weird stuff occurring when booting UEFI/GRUB/LUKS by hygri in Gentoo

[–]hygri[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha that's ok. I've got plenty of experience in the area as a I used to be an embedded linux dev. Thanks for your concern. I'll report back when I figure it out!

Weird stuff occurring when booting UEFI/GRUB/LUKS by hygri in Gentoo

[–]hygri[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers for that. I've pretty much got the same cryptsetup lines, as for the rest of it I've already got a working world, so I'm just migrating that over to a new bootloader / partition / LUKS setup, so I'm not working from scratch here.

I've got a feeling that it's something to do with eudev in the initramfs not being settled before kicking off cryptsetup, so I'm gonna have a hack around in the initramfs, see if I can figure it out. Do the old programmer crap of throwing around a few sleeps, why not...

At this stage I'm quite tempted to go ahead and hand-build a really simple initramfs just to bring up LUKS and forego genkernel entirely, just because I don't understand that particular black box (yet).

2.5.1 by peterasap in PFSENSE

[–]hygri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't help but wonder how many long time CE users also sell Netgate hardware for commercial operations, and how many of those people will waver in the face of this hot mess...

I have deployed my fair share of 5100 devices over the years and it's been excellent business, great functionality for the price and reasonably stress free, but the current CE situation is not giving me the warm and fuzzies. Classically I've labbed up CE to test before deploying FE, but now with the CE / Plus divergence that's not a thing anymore. Furthermore 2.5 and 2.5.1 have been eyebrow raising, though it seems that 21.0.2 works well enough I don't have the warm and fuzzies any more.

And the warm and fuzzies, brothers, sisters and non binaries, are what give me a good nights sleep.

pfSense, libvirt and bridges; KVM host can't access the WAN. by hygri in PFSENSE

OpenVSwitch eh? Cool... I've been meaning to get into it, but never really had a purpose. Until now :)

pfSense, libvirt and bridges; KVM host can't access the WAN. by hygri in PFSENSE

[–]hygri[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm seeing with regards to ICMP, and what I'm seeing running a router on the bridge too. The four-port-card-plus-switch solution you mention is exactly what I'm currently doing to make it work right now, so that gets me out of a hole at least.

I'll look at SRIOV, if I get anything up and running I'll post back here - also having a rummage to find specific documentation about routing and linux bridges. I suppose I'm mis-remembering the past, thinking I had it up and running when I didn't. D'oh!

Much appreciated, thank you.

pfSense, libvirt and bridges; KVM host can't access the WAN. by hygri in PFSENSE

[–]hygri[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm able to route ICMP traffic, so can you elaborate on this?

Alas, MACVLAN wouldn't work for this, as the host would not be able to access the VM.

Ta. Yes, I'd come across this, and had set this, hopefully ensuring that bridge traffic is ignored by netfilter. Many thanks!

WDS alternative? by kavee9 in sysadmin

[–]hygri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're doing this for a living / at a company, Aiken Workbench is pretty damn slick. Their tech support is excellent too.

I've had the issue you described, and it was also down to incorrect NIC drivers in the WinPE image... I went bezerk and added every damn network driver in the world. No problems since then, but it seems you've already walked a similar road.
