17:19.03prpplaguei'm getting so old
17:20.13prpplagueCosmicPenguin: the new version of the enc28j60 driver will be available probably around april15
17:20.21prpplagueCosmicPenguin: got some cleanup and such
17:20.32prpplagueCosmicPenguin: its 2.4 right now
17:20.32CosmicPenguinlooking forward to it
17:20.47CosmicPenguinThey announced that it will be on our SPI validation daughter board, and I instantly got 3 e-mail messages from around the wrold
17:20.51prpplagueCosmicPenguin: recon you'll be able to move it forward to 2.6 ?
17:20.55CosmicPenguin"We don't have drivers for that!!!!!"
17:20.57CosmicPenguinprpplague: definately
17:21.05prpplaguehehe
17:21.09CosmicPenguinprpplague: I'll update it to 2.6 and port it forward to the SPI framework
17:21.17prpplaguecool beans
17:21.21CosmicPenguinI might even get it up and running on the ol' db1200 too
17:21.29prpplaguehehe
17:22.17CosmicPenguinI have so much to do
17:22.18prpplagueCosmicPenguin: this spi validation daughter board, that for the new product line?
17:22.26prpplagueCosmicPenguin: you and me both
17:22.38CosmicPenguinprpplague: its for the Geode
17:22.53CosmicPenguinBut like I said, most of that sort of spills over into the Alchemy world too
17:22.53prpplagueCosmicPenguin: all the major stuff is getting done, but i have million little issues that need to be addressed
17:23.14prpplagueCosmicPenguin: are the specs of the spi board available?
17:23.23CosmicPenguinNah - probably won't ever be released
17:23.30prpplagueahh
17:23.55prpplagueso i assume the 3 emails were from amd staff then
17:24.31prpplagueCosmicPenguin: btw, the enc28j60 datasheet is very complete, but extremely disorganized
17:25.32prpplagueCosmicPenguin: oh, somafm.com has a new channel, "spaced out"
17:25.36prpplagueCosmicPenguin: pretty good
17:30.44CosmicPenguinMy problem is that we don't have any junior engineers around
17:30.55prpplagueCosmicPenguin: the current code has the machine specific functions in the same file, i'm gonna be moving that out
17:30.55CosmicPenguinI really really really need somebody to smoke test these damn kernels

17:34.57CosmicPenguinHopefully they're cool with it
17:35.29likewiseYeah, same here. Once a manager comes round I have to explain this is often time well spent.
17:35.39CosmicPenguinIts part of my job description to be here - I am the community contact for the Geode and Alchemy platforms
17:36.41prpplagueCosmicPenguin: hmm, you know if there is a api doc yet?
17:36.43likewiseCosmicPenguin: Well, I am at a small company here, we chose for Linux for much of our new stuff and I am lead there. But it takes some work to get collegeas used to the community development model.

18:24.58CosmicPenguinI have one 21inch LCD right now
18:24.59CosmicPenguinits great
18:25.14prpplaguehehe
18:29.19GPSFan_prpplague: a while ago my wife & I got rid of all our crt's, nothing but LCD's now. 3 15", 1 16", 1 17", and 1 19". more room on the desk, lower power (heat) and wasier to move around to projects that migrate to the floor for lack of desk/bench space..
18:29.42GPSFan_s/wasier/easier
18:29.53prpplagueGPSFan_: hehe yea
18:30.05prpplagueGPSFan_: i was just thinking about using two standard lcds
18:30.18prpplagueGPSFan_: not sure if it would improve work
18:30.36GPSFan_the other advantage is that the cat can't sit on the top of the nice warm monitor (and barf).

18:31.48GPSFan_I think it improves your work environment, even at 75hz, I can still see crt's flicker. not so with my lcd's at 60hz.
18:32.03CosmicPenguinPlus it makes your desktop so much cleaner
18:32.11prpplagueGPSFan_: sorry i mean, i have a 15inch lcd
18:32.21prpplagueGPSFan_: i was thinking of do dual screens
18:32.27GPSFan_all of mine are different. some cheap, some not.
18:32.45prpplagueGPSFan_: you are doing multiple lcds on the same desktop?
18:33.08GPSFan_dual screens for a single workstation are great. even 2 crt's improve things, but lcd's are the right answer.
18:33.44prpplagueGPSFan_: you using two seperate video cards? or one of those with dual output?

18:55.15prpplagueCosmicPenguin: will you be submitting the enc28j60 2.6 driver to the main tree?
18:56.14GPSFan_prpplague: hmm, binary only drivers ;>( As I look at it again it's AGP, so not useful on non x86 platforms. so I guess binary only drivers are not quite as bad.
18:56.45CosmicPenguinprpplague: I can if you want, or I can send it back to you and you can do the honors
18:57.58CosmicPenguinJust your code... :)
18:58.56prpplaguehehe

19:07.36CosmicPenguindoesn't it?
19:09.05CosmicPenguinDoesn't do slave though
