David,<br><br>There are a couple of issues i would like to address, mostly related to the new wireless driver.<br><br>First, the netstat command:<br>About 50% of the time it becomes very slow(practically freezes) and spews a "getnameinfo error".
<br>The result from strace is:<br>---------------<br>.....<br>socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 4<br>connect(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("<a href="http://172.18.0.1">172.18.0.1
</a>")}, 28) = 0<br>fcntl64(4, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR)<br>fcntl64(4, F_SETFL, O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) = 0<br>gettimeofday({1200442106, 340565}, NULL) = 0<br>poll([{fd=4, events=POLLOUT, revents=POLLOUT}], 1, 0) = 1
<br>send(4, "\270\227\1\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\1e\0017\1c\1e\1c\0010\1e\1f\1f\1f"..., 90, MSG_NOSIGNAL) = 90<br>poll( <unfinished ...><br>----------------<br>It seems(according to Bernie)..that netstat makes queries to the DNS server but it is temporarily down. Still if you execute the command a couple of time it works again, but is a very regular phenomenon. This should be a network issue, and not a driver issue, but can you confirm that?
<br><br>Also, the msh0 interface is named after msh0_rename. Is there a reason for that? Will this change back to normal in the future? How will it be in Update1?. This inconsistency causes some issues in the olpc-netstatus command utility.
<br><br>Can you also please describe the changes from the user's perspective that are changed/improved in the new driver. So we know were to start testing from.<br>For example, <br>what is the situation with mesh on or off
<br>is the mesh-start file still in use<br>are improvements related to 4470<br><br>thanx,<br><br>yani<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 15, 2008 6:40 PM, Kim Quirk <<a href="mailto:kim@laptop.org">kim@laptop.org

Before the new year break, he had been working on testing, documenting and debugging issues mostly associated with avahi and telepathy, but also with wireless. He and Ricardo have been our wireless test experts.
<br><br>Now that he is back, it would be great if you and Michail can provide some thoughts on the highest priority testing that we should do here or at Michail's house (for a little more controlled RF setting); so we can try to find bugs as quickly as possible.
<br><br>Also - Ricardo, you might be able to give us some indication of your availability for testing and how many laptops you have in Brazil, etc.<br><br><br>Thanks,<br><font color="#888888">Kim<br>
