  • Still have a question is it an issue or not? http://board.kolibrios.org/viewtopic.ph ... 232#p69046 Maybe I just don't understand something?

    Code: Select all

    ======================================================================
    ========== Function 74, Subfunction 8, Get TX byte counter. ==========
    ======================================================================
    Parameters:
      * eax = 74 - function number
      * bl = 8 - subfunction number
      * bh = device number
    Returned value:
      * eax = Number of bytes sent since device start (lower dword)
                      -1 on error
      * ebx = Number of bytes sent since device start (higher dword)
    ======================================================================
    ========== Function 74, Subfunction 9, Get RX byte counter. ==========
    ======================================================================
    Parameters:
      * eax = 74 - function number
      * bl = 9 - subfunction number
      * bh = device number
    Returned value:
      * eax = Number of bytes received since device start (lower dword)
                      -1 on error
      * ebx = Number of bytes received since device start (higher dword)
    What if number of bytes is for example 0x1ffffffff?
    Yes, it is an issue.

    Code: Select all

    ======================================================================
    ==== Function 76, Protocol 0 - Ethernet, Subfunction 0, Read MAC. ====
    ======================================================================
    Parameters:
      * eax = 76 - function number
      * high half of ebx = 0 (Ethernet)
      * bh = device number
      * bl = 0 (Read MAC)
    Returned value:
      * eax = -1 on error, otherwise lower bits of MAC
      * bx = upper bits of MAC
    Edit: Yes, it is also an issue, fix could be to use only lower 2 bytes of EAX for MAC on success.

    I don't understand why.
    Since the MAC address is a 6-byte value.
    According to the description of the function EAX contains lower(not higher) bits of MAC.
  • 0CodErr: You are correct, I did not read my own documentation. See previous post.

  • Yesterday hidnplayr and I have made couple of tests at my main PC. This computer has several issues working with Kolibri. For example, I must use keyboard only in Kolibri (USB mouse and keyboard don't work).
    As a result:
    - lan card Intel I218-V was added to list of supported devices (integrated eth at Asus Z97-e motherboard)
    - found an speed calculation issue in NETSTAT which was fixed by hidnplayr (thanks a lot)
    - http.obj buffer was increased which must increase download speed (but it didn't help me much)

    The average download speed in Kolibri was about 180 Kb.

    Now I have bought 4 lan cards to test them in Kolibri. Not sure the all are in working state. But lets check!
