I don't think that's supported by the hardware, at least not in its current form.

That will allow me use a WiFi card, 7-Port USB card, Sound Card, Thunderbolt card, Bluetooth card, and an LTE card. All of which are supported on Linux.<br />I do personally think that with 2 chips, they could have easily provided more PCIe slots, with 48-lanes per chip, they could easily run 96 lanes, which means 3x PCIe x16 slots and 6x PCIe x8 slots which gives you a very nice potential for I/OAnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00062418231047329304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-1991508281003020502018-05-29T08:02:21.643-07:002018-05-29T08:02:21.643-07:00What's up with Linux Firewire these days??

I have a LXDE box sitting to the side of my PowerMac that has Firewire, but no working WiFi, and I thought "why not share internet from the PowerMac??". NOPE - Doesn't work anymore.<br /><br />Well long-story short, while this used to work (with a fixed IP), it appears nobody is maintaining the packages for it above Serena (Debian) and after posting to THREE Linux boards for suggestions (not getting even one reply), it is quite apparent that this is a dead issue for the Linux Tribe. The only thing they care about regarding Firewire is Audio/Video transfer.<br /><br />Also, was a bummer to see //afp go away too. My old Mint17 system talked flawlessly with the PowerMac (//smb works OK, but Tiger never lets you share drives other than boot - "LAME") - but with Spectre/Meltdown it just isn't safe to keep an x86/AMD64 Linux box online without updating to the new Kernel. <br /><br />Well as the British Empire used to say (subtextualy) "Online and Downward!"artphotodudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625170205541427471noreply@blogger.com
