I re-discovered something quite suboptimal about my cheapish Bay Trail 11" Yoga 2. The Broadcom cheapo wifi doesn't support 5 GHz 802.11n.

electronbeam

2:16 AM

checks her waifu radar

"Damn, no hits."

allquicatic

and unfortunately, due to a combination of suburban 2.4 GHz saturation and a relatively poor implementation of 2.4 GHz standards on my Jetpack hotspot, that means I get fairly intermittent downstream at a small fraction of "line speed" (what I can get if I plug it in on USB over RNDIS)

Bob

@allquicatic funny, that... wifi is far more reliable than usb on my one

allquicatic

had it plugged in over USB for a few hours to download updates, Office, VS Community, Eclipse, Java JDK, Start10, VLC, Notepad++, Chrome and Firefox

Bob

wifi => 50/10, at the same time usb => ???/??? (can't even get the speedtest to finish)

allquicatic

@Bob OH -- make damn sure you're using the NDIS6 driver!

That Brazilian Headless Horse

2:18 AM

@electronbeam Tinder? Pokémon Go?

allquicatic

I had that exact issue, plus several random bugs in various games with the old horrible RNDIS driver

Bob

@allquicatic how?

I'm using whatever huawei installed...

allquicatic

Right-click on it in Device Manager. Go to Update Driver. Manually select driver. Uncheck the "Compatible" checkbox. Go to Microsoft. Pick USB RNDIS6.

electronbeam

@ThatBrazilianHeadlessHorse I created a gadget that detects waifus in the immediate vicinity... it doesn't seem to work.

allquicatic

USB RNDIS6 is a driver shipped with Windows 8 and later (IIRC) -- might even be in Windows 7 SP1

it's specifically named "USB RNDIS6" and it's like 100x faster and more reliable than the default broken RNDIS -- I have no clue why the other one installs by default

Bob

2:19 AM

@allquicatic thanks, I'll have to check that when I get home

you might have just solved the thing that caused me many hours of frustration last night

allquicatic

oh, also, because the old horrible pre-NDIS6 driver is so broken, any attempts to do various broadcast-y things (Zeroconf/Avahi, Bonjour, Microsoft's LLDP, LAN gaming, Windows file sharing and domain discovery, etc.) causes some kind of low-level kernel thread hang for ~60 seconds

Bob

"This device can perform faster if you plug it into a USB 3.0 port"

allquicatic

and it hangs the Network Connections control panel too

Bob

*looks at very obviously 2.0 micro usb port*

allquicatic

it also causes XCOM 2 to get about 0.5 fps in the main menu

Bob

2:22 AM

@allquicatic hm, maybe I need to s/winscp(?=die in a fire)/pre-ndis6/

allquicatic

If you look at Driver Details for an RNDIS device, there will always be two device driver .sys files

Good: rndismp6.sys

Bob

@allquicatic uhm.

allquicatic

Bad: usb8023x.sys

Bob

neither.

it's a huawei driver

ew_wwanecm.sys

allquicatic

O.o

electronbeam

2:23 AM

furiously taps the screen of the waifu radar "Is this damn thing even on?"

allquicatic

do you have usb80236.sys? or no?

Bob

@allquicatic trying to upload to imgur but greenshot is dying

@allquicatic nup, just the one

maybe not rndis

allquicatic

ok, well, definitely try "USB RNDIS6" -- successful install will show rndismp6.sys and usb80236.sys... if it's compatible with your RNDIS adapter (which it should, unless Huawei somehow forked the RNDIS spec) it'll probably work better than anything else

not all USB tethering devices use RNDIS; for example, Apple doesn't with the iPhone

Bob

@allquicatic yea I guess it might not

"The required line was not found in the INF."

O_O

electronbeam

@allquicatic why did you unfriend me on Skype, and why did I just now notice it?

allquicatic

2:26 AM

I mean, it could be an RNDIS device where Huawei thought they'd implement their own RNDIS driver for no good reason

@electronbeam I have no idea / don't remember doing it and I don't know

electronbeam

@allquicatic >:V

Bob

driver date is Feb 2016 :\

Dog

!!Caaaaaat2

ChatBot John Cavil

@Dog That didn't make much sense. Maybe you meant: caaaaaaat2, caaaaaat, caaaaat2

allquicatic

see if you can use strings on the Huawei .sys file or find the associated .inf and look for the NDIS version; if it's below 6, it's supposed to technically work with modern NT kernels, but as evidenced by the broken RNDIS driver which I think is NDIS 5.0, shit gets weird and potentially system-wide fuckage for NDIS <6.0

I actually wrote a SU answer today where I all but encouraged a guy to try and install a WinXP 32-bit driver on Win10 32-bit. A network driver.

@BenN are you the same guy who thought VBScript was great in 2005 when they started writing a ~50,000 test automation framework in VBScript at work, only to learn that it's like coding with kiddie gloves?

I mean, the only thing Powershell's good for is dynamically invoking the C# compiler and running a C# assembly :P

allquicatic

@Dog huh, that's interesting

USB RNDIS6 driver is NDIS 6.30

Dog

That's what I plugged in

And the above powershell output suggests it's NDIS 6.4

allquicatic

2:50 AM

@Dog what .sys files did it load? look in the driver details

don't need path, just filename

Dog

allquicatic

okay, that's not an RNDIS device

that's a legitimate Realtek USB NIC

Dog

oh

nvm

allquicatic

RNDIS literally speaks the Remote NDIS wire protocol (serialized NDIS API commands) over the USB's raw bus, instead of exposing a native NIC's custom command interface

Dog

Oh

R NDIS... misunderstooderestimated the R

2 hours ago, by Dog

I'm so stupid that, if they had an award for stupid, I would definitely be in the running.

allquicatic

2:53 AM

RNDIS usually exposes something that behaves like a network adapter, but most of the mechanics of the networking are handled on the "device side" of the USB connection, not on the "host side" -- in fact, the computer requests over DHCP a local IP address for the computer, and gets it from the device side of the RNDIS link

Dog

Oh like those phake network adapters you sometimes get when tethering a phone?

allquicatic

IIRC, RNDIS operates nominally at Layer 3, whereas a NIC operates at layer 2

Dog

Not used wired tethering for a loooong time

allquicatic

@Dog that's exactly what RNDIS is, yes... Android phones and cellular 3G/4G hotspots support the protocol for the most part

Dog

Hmm I wonder what my internal 3G card uses

It appears to have disappeared from device mangler

@allquicatic Ah. Been a while since I used that. Also, last time I used it I wasn't paying much attention to how it worked. I was on a train, just hoping it worked

allquicatic

2:56 AM

except Apple phones, which expose some kind of custom ethernet NIC, I have no idea why they would want to expose a layer 2 virtual NIC instead of using the RNDIS standard

Bob

> Apple

not reason enough? :P

allquicatic

lol

Dog

My Nokia E51/E71 exposed a virtual COM port and modem

Ah IIRC that's what my laptop's internal USB modem does too

But since it's currently broken, like most things in my laptop, I can't actually check

@JourneymanGeek Now that you mention it, Samsung do have 2TB 850 Evos out now IIRC

Journeyman Geek

this only really makes sense if you have a ton of microsd cards of the same size lying around

@JourneymanGeek Ouch, doesn't support SDXC (but at least it does support SDHC)

Is it possible to optimize a particular website for Data Optimization? Example - Consider I use a particular website (say Stack Exchange) frequently everyday then It will be good idea to get that site optimized so-that it can use less data.

Journeyman Geek

Basically threw in a spare SSD.

allquicatic

@Pandya if you're talking about what you can do from the client side, there's very little you can do beyond what's already being done by your browser; though you may want to look into Google's Data Saver proxy: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/data-saver/…

your browser already caches a lot of the data (unless you've (mis)configured it otherwise) if you frequently visit a site

Pandya

@allquicatic I've already configured it.

allquicatic

@Pandya that's about as good as you'll get, then

Pandya

@allquicatic Can you show cache related settings for Firefox?

By the way should I call it "Bandwidth Optimization" or "Data Optimization"? /cc @JourneymanGeek

@Pandya I'd use a less technical term so people could more easily understand what you mean; instead of a noun I'd use a verb... "Is it possible to do something from my client to reduce the amount of data I use for a particular website?"

Pandya

@allquicatic thanks doesn't overridden

allquicatic

Data Optimization could mean a lot of different things, and Bandwidth Optimization could also mean several things... these are very "overloaded" technical terms that are used all over for different purposes
