If I install the 68k Roadshow using your installer from github, will it correctly detect my wifi device and WPA password etc from the currently existing Netstack configuration?

Quote:

No sorry, but you could use the installer for installing Roadshow and disabling netstack, select the Sungem ethernet and just edit devs/NetInterfaces/SunGEM and put your wifi device there, im guessing the wpa password file is picked up/used by the wifi driver itself and requires no configuration from within roadshow

edit - just checked the installer script, didnt remember if it asks you if you want to edit the Sungem configfile in the installer, but as it does, just press 'y' when it asks about the dhcp stuff and editor pops up....i might find time to update the installer for the wifi stuff but both of my mac minis and powerbook is packed away for the moment...

@catohagen

So how much do you get on your gigabit network with current stack, btw?

I havent found time(yet)to drag out powerbook and install the new iso yet, but looking forward to the new netstack update :)

catohagen,

And you can still claim there was nothing wrong with it... IMHO
i.e. no obvious bugs

It was "just" lacking extra features to make it work better with post-90' internet.
And there are still things to do to improve 3.2's netstack behaviour today.

ok, sorry....i used the wrong words, but several users reported 50k download speed from aminet,etc...and the reply was more or like "works fine here" :)

Are there any documentation/config stuff we can read about the new extra features, new env-arc files we can create to adjust the stack or anything ?

in roadshow adjusting tcp.sendspace,tcp_recvspace and tcp.mssdflt do alot of impact and as probably netstack was before, it defaulted to the same post-90's internet.

Knowing what (mos3.2)Netstack now defaults to would be helpful in maybe comparing the new netstack to 68k roadshow and the possibility to adjust these would be fun too

Aminet is no static server. You are redirected to other servers on each access, so it is no use as a constant for any speed test, too.

yes ofcourse, but also the general 'theme' of complaints on network performance was more like 2 computers on the same 20mbit line, pc gets 2MB/s and Morphos gets 50k/s on the same url.

also testing here at work, the file vd-amiga2001.mpg (135mb) redownloading and redownloading and getting different redirected to different servers(on win7&chrome browser) :
http://uk.aminet.net/pix/mpg/vd-amiga2001.mpg
http://us4.aminet.net/aminet/pix/mpg/vd-amiga2001.mpg
http://aminet.net/pix/mpg/vd-amiga2001.mpg
http://de3.aminet.net/pix/mpg/vd-amiga2001.mpg

every single download went at a stable 1000 kB/s and not at the 50kB some users always got.
Most times it was faster to reboot into macos and download the file there, then reboot into morphos, done it myself(ubuntu iso) :)

OK, thanks. Will backup sys: and give it a try later tonight.

My download speeds under MOS 3.2 are usually around 2MB/s on a 40Mb/s fibre connection so whilst not bad it could be better.
