What "bcm kernel lines"?


I posted this October 12 or 13 in this thread.

Anybody having this issue with this 3.84.14 a2 build?

That's debugging info from the Multicast kernel module that Asus left in there, it does not indicate a particular error. I might be able to remove that debugging line, provided it's coming from the open source part that I currently see with this code:

#if 1 //cathy debug
   printk("%s:%d mc_fdb->rep_list %p next %p prev %p rep_entry->list %p next %p prev %p\n",
      __FUNCTION__, __LINE__, &mc_fdb->rep_list, mc_fdb->rep_list.next, mc_fdb->rep_list.prev,
      &rep_entry->list, rep_entry->list.next, rep_entry->list.prev);
#endif

It does not affect the router's performance or stability.

Nothing different from what I've been recommending for years now. Set a static channel, disable Smart Connect, and that's all I changed after today's factory default reset. I also enabled SSH and WAN access for development purposes, and reuploaded my httpd certificate. In my usual dev setup, I usually have Adaptive QoS enabled as well so I can properly test/debug that part of the code as well.

RMerlin, I noticed you usually keep adaptive QOS enabled for testing purposes...do you use FreshJR scripts during testing or test without the script? If you dont use the script, what's your take on whether to use or not use it? If you have used it in the past, did it make a difference and would you recommend it? Any input is greatly appreciated.

[RMerlin]

do you use FreshJR scripts

I don't, I only run the basic rules generated by the firmware.

what's your take on whether to use or not use it?

Up to you. I never used it, and never really analyzed in details what it did either, so I don't have any opinion one way or another regarding it.
