Hi all,

suitable to this answer from Piru on Wayfarer thread:

Quote:

I think it will be good for MorphOS users to have a fixed network.

Maybe open a github and ask help from others developpers (from AmigaOS4 and AROS?) ?

Open a bounty for that ?

I think for example Wifi work better on Powerbook with a PCMCIA card, maybe the problem come with network drivers for Apple computer? Just an idea to help the schmilblik in french

Awesome idea!

I would put money into:

Improved smbfs
Improved network
Add onboard nic on PCIe PowerMacs
Add 2.5 gbe adapter for MorphOS.

Did someone benchmark wlan against AmigaOs 4?

Quote:

There's nothing on OS4 that would push the stack as hard as Wayfarer does and I don't think it would be easy to even to make something.

Wayfarer not push TCP stack too much, because main brake here CPU power for javascript, CSS,...
TCP stack speed is critical with unencrypted FTP and other simple transfers.

Good bechmark of plain TCP stack is TCPSpeed. Unfortunatelly I have no computer with wlan.
I can only test both systems on 100 MbE Pegasos 2, but it has no sense, because both systems result here is cca 90 Mbps - i.e. NIC cannot do more.
Unfortunatelly AmigaOS have no driver for 1 GbE on Pegasos, MorphOS has here 209 Mbps.

Maybe Sam460 or X5000 owners can check that.

It not entirely clear where the performance issues originate, and thus assigning bounty for fixing them is difficult. I'm not dismissing this entirely, but merely pointing out this complication.

Yeees, I agree. I would like to have SMBv2 in MorphOS.

@Piru: maybe MorphOS Team could release source code of:

- TCP-IP stack
- SANA-2 interface
- network drivers (RJ45, Wifi, Gigabit, etc...)

on one Github project named "Improve network on MorphOS" (for example)

and contact developers if they could help for global project or improve just one item (and why not add support for others network drivers)

Maybe it will be a good solution to improve the network on MorphOS.

SANA-II is a specification that has always been completely open.

https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/SANA-II_Standard

I look to the MorphOS Team to see if any/all of these make sense to start a bounty for?

Improved smbfs
Improved network
Add onboard nic on PCIe PowerMacs
Add 2.5 gbe adapter for MorphOS.

Well, we are looking into some of the aspects internally already, especially the improved smbfs which will most likely be based on LGPL libsmb2 and the onboard nic for PCIe PowerMacs - no target date for any of this yet, though.

Yay, that would be great!
