I tried to use it yesterday. I has been on my shelf for many years. Last time i tried to use it it was bad. It lost connection to the hard drives. To boot from it CSM must be on. 😬 Drivers are not in linux kernel. The latest linux drivers on their web site is for up to kernel v2.6.31. 🙁 I had to put the card back on the shelf. It is useless for me.

I upgraded my firewall computer today. Something went wrong with the snort configuration. I tried to fix it but i gave up after a while. I did a new installation to start with something that is working and then merge in my config that i had saved. Snort did not work even after a new installation. 😡

I dont know about anything new that i have been waiting for. Maybe wayland remote desktop works. I have to try that. Good that wireguard is now always in the kernel. if you want to upgrade make sure it says normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and the run do-release-upgrade as root.

If you do “ip -6 route” on the command line you see a routing table. I always thought that was the only one. A few days ago i needed to route not only on destination address but also on source address. First it seemed impossible. The routing table dont have anything for source address it only looks at the destination address. I searched on google. I found something called policy based routing. It can do routing on many things. If you do “ip -6 rule” you will see some other routing tables mentioned. You can add a rule with “ip -6 rule add …”. You can add something to a routing table by adding “table tablenumber” after “ip -6 route add …”.
