First of all I would like to say thanks to everyone.
I didn't expect so many answer in so few time ( I got
most of them directly in my mailbox)
Anyway I've ordered right now the D-Link DFE-570 that
seems the one with the best price/quality ratio so I
can test it on the "battle field".

Hi,
Sorry to disturb you.
I tried to create a file system similar to ramfs on 2.2.14 kernel. I was
able to insert it as a module and mount it to ram disk at /dev/ram0 at a
mount point called /mnt. It gets mounted . But after mounting it the link
count of directory /mnt becomes 1 and size becomes

Hi!
Is there any way to read out the compile-time HZ value of the kernel?
I had a brief look at /proc/* and didn't find anything.

There are certain settings, for example the icmp rate limiting values,
which can be set using sysctl. Those setting are basically

Hello colleagues,
We have a strange problem with our multi-threaded SMTP client: at very
heavy load (e.g. 150 threads, each with a pool of 5 persistent
connections) it sometimes receives SIGSEGV while making network kernel
calls (mostly in "recvfrom" for both TCP and UDP, but also in "connect").

Here are two new uses of floating point that popped up in the 2.4.5-ac4
kernel. While the expressions that use FP are trivial, at least my
version of gcc does not calculate them at compile time.
As a bonus, two old, but still existing FP uses are also included.

I also don't remeber anything strange in that kernel about the VM (I
instead remeber well the VM breakage introduced in 2.3.99-pre).

In as far as it handles balancing the current zones,
it'll also work with one more. In places

This should not have any effect on the ratio of cache
reclaiming vs. swapout use, though...

Since upgrading to 2.4.5-ac4 the Crystal Soundfusion card in my Thinkpad 600X
has stopped working. Trying to play an audio file (with /usr/bin/play from sox
12.16) gives me an oops. Here is the init stuff from dmesg for the sound card:

Hi all,
This patch remove some NULL parameters tests in kfree-like functions and add this
directly in function.
- dev_kfree_skb_irq == dev_kfree_skb == kfree_skb
- kfree already handle null parameters :
void kfree (const void *objp)
{
kmem_cache_t *c;
unsigned long flags;

Hi. A few weeks ago there was a discussion centering on the Athlon-optimized
fast_copy_page routine and how the prefetch might be causing problems on Via
motherboards. Unfortunately Alan's proposed fixes (to not prefetch the final 320
bytes)
don't seem to help...at least on my iWill KT-133A
if you go to opengroup.org you can read the single-unix standard for
free... you need to register though. (it's not quite the same as
POSIX...)

Yes, but my testing is not in anyway complete yet. The only network device
I have which is supported by zerocopy is loopback
