Not so sure. I am only testing by running a browser and trying to use it.rcrsn51 wrote:@bigpup: Is your WiFi problem with the actual WiFi connection or with a browser running over WiFi?
I am not totally sure what this should show me, but it seems to give good results.Here is a quick WiFi speed test:
Use the IP address of your router. Check the summary at the end.Code: Select all
ping -I wlan0 -c 20 192.168.2.1
I have already tried that.If would be useful if you had a separate USB WiFi adapter that you could test for comparison purposes.
I will try it and see.rcrsn51 wrote:Does the ping test give the same speed with/without a savefile?
Anyway .. I have built k4.9.33 for 32 bit.. not uploaded yet as I've had no time! I have also found a github repo by lwfinger (noted linux wireless dev) that replaces (almost) the whole rtl* driver stack! See https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new01micko wrote:@bigpup - you can actually try the 64 bit k4.9.30 in 32 bit on your box - if nothing else it will tell us it might work better - or not! If it does work then I can compile 4.9.3x for 32 bit and probably ditch the palemoon isos and use firefox. I doubt firmware will make a difference because the kernel-kit build script has an option to get latest firmware which I always use. Also, there probably exists a manufacturer driver on github - I have an rtl8192eu dongle that has no in kernel tree driver and I just built it for 64 bit, posting from it now.

.Hmm... I don't think that reproduces the same thing exactly, but it's a start. Maybe rox -p= and rox -p are both broken01micko wrote:An even more amusing way to reproduce this is like so...

So it seems the 'p=' syntax is a bug. I'll fix it in due course.
Thanks for making me think
Wifi issue success, MAYBE, well so far.bigpup wrote:Wifi Issue.
Slacko 6.9.9.9 32bit K4.4.70
The save and using it seems to be at the base of this issue.
I notice when doing a boot up.
The info about loading the different SFS packages, main SFS, adrv, fdrv, zdrv, and the save.
Before the save is loaded a message comes up that it is loading kernel driver modules hid.
I think this is the one it is talking about:
lib/modules/4.4.70/kernel/drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid.ko
Is this suppose to be happening and if so, is it the correct process just before the save loads?
Could this be causing the save wifi issue in Slacko 32bit???????Before the save is loaded a message comes up that it is loading kernel driver modules hid.
I think this is the one it is talking about:
lib/modules/4.4.70/kernel/drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid.ko
I will try this later today.I have also found a github repo by lwfinger (noted linux wireless dev) that replaces (almost) the whole rtl* driver stack! See https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new
Anyone can build it themselves if they load devx and kernel_source from sfs-manager (in setup menu).

Folks, I think bigpup is not only VERY helpful in general, but he is doing a fine job of trying to solve this!bigpup (in part) wrote:Slacko 6.9.9.9 64bit K4.9.30 Frugal using a save.
It boots and loads the save just after the last sfs package loads.
Nothing is loaded before, like it does in the 32 bit Slacko.
It loads main sfs, adrv, fdrv, zdrv, save.
I never see this:Before the save is loaded a message comes up that it is loading kernel driver modules hid.
Could this be causing the save wifi issue in Slacko 32bit???????
Is this a frugal install?Billtoo wrote:I installed a build of Slack 6.9.9.9 to the hard drive of my compaq desktop:
It's pupmode 12, I make a folder, copy the kernel source sfs + devx sfs to it, then mount the iso and copy the contents to the folder, run grub4dos and that's it.bigpup wrote:Is this a frugal install?Billtoo wrote:I installed a build of Slack 6.9.9.9 to the hard drive of my compaq desktop:
No problems with wifi after booting using a save?
I found that ppm and packages install better for me in pupmode 13 with this (attached). I didn't try it with kpat or kodi though.Billtoo wrote:This is on the hard drive.
Doing the same thing on an SD card of Flash drive gives pupmode 13 and it doesn't work as well, some packages like kpat and kodi don't install properly with PPM (won't run).

1 - With ROX-Filer, click-mount any sfs and choose 'view contents'
2 - Go to Nathan's wallpaper setter to change background
3 - At this point, Rox creates a second pinboard (/root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/pb_Default)
4 - Clicking the desktop will alternate between the original pinboard and this new pb_Default pinboard
5 - Restarting X is required to reclaim the normal pinboard
