network device driver - copy skb data to dma region
by Guest meerkat- 0 replies
- 332 views
Hi, Mapping the skb data to dma sometimes includes a bounce buffer (if the skb is out of the dma area) My dma bitmask is unusual, and so I'm getting a lot of those bounce buffers. My question is - Is there a way to make sure that the skb is allocated in my dma region before I get it in the xmit function? This way I can keep the zero-copy in the tx, and avoid the bounce buffer at the same time. Only 2 options I came up with are: 1. map the skb data (--> bounce buffer) 2. memcpy the skb data and then map it (no more zero-copy) Thanks! Roy Continue reading...

Apple joins Microsoft in the fight against US government requesting overseas data
by Guest Rich Edmonds- 0 replies
- 334 views
Microsoft remains on its path to protect consumers against the prying US government and now both Apple and Cisco have joined the cause. The companies, along with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Verizon and AT&T are attempting to prevent the US government from issuing search warrants to demand data not physically stored in the country. Apple and Cisco have filed a joint brief in protest against this practice. It's not the first time Apple and Microsoft have worked together on the issue. The major drawback with the US government issuing warrants for data stored on servers in other regions (for the tech companies involved) is how agencies are requesting access t…

Apple brings Bitcoin apps back to the App Store
by Guest Harish Jonnalagadda- 0 replies
- 320 views
After delisting all apps that deal in virtual currency over the year, Apple has eased up on its stance and is now allowing Bitcoin apps back into the App Store. A policy change detailed in the App Store review guidelines suggested that virtual currencies may be supported in iOS, with Apple following through by re-enlisting Bitcoin wallet app Coin Pocket on the store yesterday. Apple mentioned that the would still have to be in "compliance with all state and federal laws for the territories in which the app functions." The US Treasury declared earlier this year that users who mine Bitcoin for personal use and businesses trading in the virtual currency for investment p…

There is an IP address conflict with another system ......

I've read all the articles in this section but still have not found a solution. I get this on a wireless network. Using a Linksys router with dynamic DHCP (192.168.1.1) and a Linksys range expander (192.168.1.240). The message appears on an Xp workstation but does not appear on the only other workstation connected to the network, which is a laptop running Vista. I believe the cause of the problem to be the fact that both of these workstations used to be attached to a DSL land line with a DSL modem with IP address of 192.168.1.1. That modem and equipment is gone. Now we are wireless with Exede satellite network. Here is what steps I have taken to try and ge…

My problem is trying to run League of Legends. I can open it and everything works fine, but as soon as an actual game starts, this ^^^ (title) pops up and all I can do is close the whole game. I hadn't played in a while so I have gone through quite a few windows updates and i downloaded a lot of patches on League, so i'm not sure what the problem is. I do know that i have the MSVCR110.dll file in my System32 file. I really don't want to spend hours trying to re-download this game League of Legends and would prefer to fix this problem. Everything else (all other programs) works fine. Is there any way to fix this without re-downloading the program/game? Continue reading.…

Hey guys, I'm just wondering can a windows 7 license be transferred from one hard drive to another? Basically the hard drive on my laptop failed and I have to replace it. Although I think the laptop came with windows installed on it and I think I read on the forum that windows like that can't be transferred. On another note there's a windows label on the back of the laptop with a windows product key if that makes any difference. Continue reading...
