a few things I've found, that I thought I would contribute in the hopes
someone who has a PCG-Z505RX would tell me how to configure the sound on
this.. I would boot into windows and check the settings there, but
unfortunately (or fortunately :) it didn't see the light of day for more
than 5 minutes...
anyway, the few things I've found so far:
I got my raw disk throughput (as measured by dd <shrug>) up from 3mb/s to
12 by adding flags 0xa0ffa0ff to my controller wdc0 line in my kernel
config file:
controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 flags 0xa0ffa0ff
also, I noticed that when I would suspend the machine, the fxp0 wouldn't
wake up immediately after a resume, but would take a good minute or so to
come to it's senses if at all.. after some random poking I discovered
that throwing it into promiscuous mode for a moment would wake it right
up.. so here's what I did:
in /etc/rc.resume, I added:
if [ -e /var/run/connected ]
then
/usr/sbin/tcpdump -n -c 1 > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
now, before you jump on me, here's why I have /var/run/connected:
in /root/bin, I've got a script called box23.sh:
#!/bin/sh
echo -n " box23"
ifconfig fxp0 inet 10.10.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default 10.10.3.1 > /dev/null 2>&1
ln -sf /root/bin/box23.sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ifup.sh
touch /var/run/connected
and a script called ifdown.sh:
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig fxp0 down
route delete default
rm /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ifup.sh
rm /var/run/connected
I actually have two other scripts for the other two networks I use my vaio
on regularly.. I never have to reboot, it's delightful :)
oh, and the end result? if I ping a host, and suspend the vaio, wait a
minute, and resume, the pings pick up exactly where they left off and you
can't even tell the difference even the first response time.. I don't
know how you guys do it! :)
thanks,
chris
