TCE Talk / Re: pciutils.tcz vs pci-utils and usbutils vs usb-utils and x86 vs x86_64

instead of "solved" could there be "adjustments made" or something in the title to give future searchers/visitors/etc a hint

although i suppose most people will be searching for the word "solved" so maybe just stick with that...sigh..

I guess that, all things being equal, the extensions should be named after their source tarballs, which are currently pciutils and usbutils.

HI Rich. That's a good thought. I had tried disabling ipv6 in Devuan but that didn't help (see Reply #2). But I went ahead and tried...

Code: [Select]

devuan_laptop$ sudo sysctl net.ipv6.conf.wlan0.mtu=1420...and that does not help with the problem. The only thing that helps is having the "mss lock" rule in router's firewall.

Oh, well. For now I'm giving up on looking for an explanation as to why the mss lock is necessary. If I ever do find a convincing explanation I'll make sure to post it here in case it is interesting and/or helpful to others.

Hi Leee
The extensions were created by different people for different architectures:
x86:

Code: [Select]

Title:          pci-utils.tcz
Extension_by:   juanito
Title:          usbutils.tcz
Extension_by:   bmarkus
x86_64:

Code: [Select]

Title:          pciutils.tcz
Extension-by:   dentonlt
Title:          usb-utils.tcz
Extension_by:   juanito
juanito used the dash naming convention, bmarkus and dentonlt did not.

In addition, the naming conventions are opposite between the 2 architectures:

Code: [Select]

x86       pci-utils.tcz    usbutils.tcz
x86_64    pciutils.tcz     usb-utils.tcz

Dang it!  I saw this thread come alive and thought, "Oooh, somebody's fixed it"....

Lacking any reason to have them different, I feel like the naming should be standardized to either "include" or "not include" the hyphen and do it the same for both architectures.

I suppose there's something to be said, as well, for the "That's how we've always done it" line of thought, though I've been told that's not usually best.  I'm toying with the idea of coding an "exceptional processing" section for this into my updater script.  (Actually, I was thinking I had done that a year ago, but apparently not.)
