There are a lot of people involved in openwrt, and one of the more invisible (doesn't do irc) is juhosg.<br><br>(This might account for his productivity, I don't know!)<br><br>Among many other things, Gabor is responsible for much of the ar71xx architecture that is in cerowrt.<br>
<br>This is the commit that landed today. My hat is off to Gabor...<br><br>(and darn it, I have to do a new build now) <br><br><br>commit 7bc411c5d9e3bc59806b90954731ce94d96e820e<br>Author: juhosg <juhosg@3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73><br>

<br><br>My last known 'boot to a working internet connection' was about 126 seconds, when last I measured it.<br>
<br>
30 seconds would be good... and while I hope that the fix above knocks a few seconds off the boot,<br>
doing better would take extensive profiling that I do not have time for in this release.<br>
<br>I also note that I've filed some new bugs in the bugtracker regarding some regressions in linux 3.3 that have been fixed and will be showing up in a stabler kernel release RSN. I'm not sure if #346 addresses my long standing issues with multicast routing and pim or not, nor if #347 accounts for a running out of memory problem I've seen after some extreme benchmarking while using 4 over 6 tunneling... but we'll see.<br>
<br>I keep hoping to find the time to figure out why QFQ hangs, but so far, no luck<br><br clear="all">/me goes back to making sure bug 113 is dead, dead, dead.<br><br>-- <br>Dave Täht<br>SKYPE: davetaht<br>US Tel: 1-239-829-5608<br>
