Yes, nearly: DSA currently only supports a few basic offloads, and all?/most of those only work on some of the supported DSA targets. I think, MT76xx devices are the most "advanced" in that respect right now. But nothing &quo

The link you posted mentions "setting up offloads", and unifying the functionality of DSA and switchdev. To me, DSA (as a "convenient" means to access/name/treat individual switch ports) is a prerequisite to en

Hi, thanks for that correction. Do you have a keyword or 2 to google for "They can be modified, though not necessarily in a typical way." Or is that only or the CM, and not the normal RPI4? I only found some quick&dirty patch,

With Broadcom it always seems such a struggle (no mesh support, no RSN-IBSS, MAX MTU only 1500, driver issues), for all their wired and wireless gear I've encountered, that I gtfo quickly when I have the choice to not use that HW. Same

Concerning HW NAT/Offload support: the DSA support is (iiuc) supposed to be the framework, through which the offload functionalities will be implemented. There is a pull-request for DSA even for architectures as far back as ath79. I ha

I wonder, if DSA works correctly on all platforms in scenarios where MTU > 1500 is needed and/or encapsulations like Batman. Because both are problematic at least on ramips/mt7621 and RTL8380 for me. Better but still not not ri

Both built-in interfaces of the RPI4 don't support MTU over 1500. That rules out many advanced usage scenarios, I think.

Adding it to the Post title would be great as well.

It's a real shame, that USB-Hub manufacturers do not in general implement the Per-Port-Power-Control part of the spec. That would be so useful to controlling 5V/12V powered devices. With QC3.0 to barrel-jack-12V adapters a USB-HUB

To alleviate that concern a bit, Debian apt can be configured to fetch updates via TOR, so that it becomes (more) difficult to send YOU -specifically- a doctored update.

Cool project! Has this extension hat already been tested with other (non-broadcom) SOCs, that have a compatible pin-header? Any reason why it shouldn't work on a OrangePi, RockPi, xPi?

Was that running the original Firmware, or OpenWRT? In my experience, all vendor firmwares are to be regarded just as "proof-of-electrical-functioning", to be replaced with a OpenWRT running a recent kernel. Similar to how to you

That may be regional. Over here I see ~5 Deb/Ubuntu installations for every RedHat-derivative.

I just type "help" into anything that looks like a prompt. From there things are usually discoverable enough, and if not, now I have strings, that I can C/P straight into a search engine. ;)

All fine and well, but then the Webpage should perhaps tone down a bit on the flashy images, and perhaps mention more prominently, that this iron is still glowing hot on the forge, and basically a tinkering environment for the time being.

Oh, good to know, thanks for replying! Makes you wonder about the underlying plumbing though, if setting an GUI appearance option can lead to data loss in the first place. Is there a writeup/summary somewhere that explains "the le

Make sure, you properly backup your HOME-Dir, or make sure to not enable HiDPI. Garuda has a bug, where it deletes your Data if you go messing with the wrong appearance settings: https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/after-de

The package is huge, even the Debian package. Are you shipping a bunch of dependencies/frameworks in the package? Aren't there more system-components you could use?

Text should look pixel-perfect if you use loss-less compression. Or aren't you? Are you using QuickSync/HWEnc (lossy h26X?) ?

If your device has an unused VGA connector, then on X11 (perhaps Wayland too) you can "force" the graphics-card into a mode for that output without connecting a VGA dummy plug. That second screen you just export with X11vnc. Using

Yes, my sentiment exactly! My heart starts pumping when I see a new project from spritesmod, and I settle in with a coffee. Spritesmod never disappoints, and I always learn some cool new details!
