#8454: Very low network performance with a Marvell Yukon card. ---------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: bga | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: R1/alpha4 Component: Drivers/Network/marvell_yukon | Version: R1/Development Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: 8743 | Blocking: 8928 Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ---------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by leavengood): Replying to [comment:36 luroh]: > Last time I was plodding around with this bug, I remember looking into the possibility of reverting but it seemed to be non-trivial (at least given my limited knowledge). Not only the driver itself but the compat layer as well would need to be rolled back, which would affect all other freebsd Ethernet drivers. > > In order to not jeopardize release quality or to risk losing much time over this, I would propose that we simply manually inject the attached working gcc2 binary driver into the release images and defer this ticket to alpha 5, once alpha 4 is out the door. Given you think reverting the source would be non-trivial and would require changing the compat layer, why would injecting the old binary version work? Is the compat layer compiled into each driver? If it is not, I don't see how the old binary driver could work with the new compat layer. If the compat layer is compiled in, then I'll explore this option. Unfortunately I don't think I have any hardware I can test on, but maybe I could provide a test image or patch to luroh. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8454#comment:38> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
