Feature changed by: Michael Löffler (michl19) Feature #306646, revision 11 Title: Add option in yast to disable tcp window scaling - openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation + openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Michael Löffler (michl19) + reject date: 2009-08-11 15:02:45 + reject reason: too late for 11.2, moved to 11.3 Priority Requester: Desirable - openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed + openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Jose Ricardo De Leon Solis (derhundchen) Description: I live in Guatemala and like most people in countries like mine I don't have a broadband connection, so everytime I install openSUSE I see myself opening a terminal to disable tcp window scaling and opening kate with root permisions to edit /etc/sysctl.conf to make the change permanent. Though is not complicated to do, it has become an expensive operation to perform. So it would be nice for me and for those of us who need to disable this feature to have an option to disable it in yast. It would be nice to see it in the same tab in which one can disable ipv6. Discussion: #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2009-07-04 18:05:30) So what does the deactivation of TCP Window Scaling have to do with wireless? #2: Jose Ricardo De Leon Solis (derhundchen) (2009-07-07 05:25:23) (reply to #1) It enables some of us to browse the internet. Take a look (http://www.google.com/search?hl=es&client=opera&rls=es-LA&hs=y5L&ei=K7xSSqeVOMK0tgeKxZGqCA&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=tcp_window_scaling&spell=1) #3: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2009-07-07 18:50:53) (reply to #2) Broken TCP endpoints are nothing that's caused solely by wireless. It affects all types of transport. FWIW, the option should not be next to ipv6, but it should be in the sysctl editor (whatever yast module that edits /etc/sysconfig/sysctl) #4: Jose Ricardo De Leon Solis (derhundchen) (2009-07-10 05:33:56) (reply to #3) I don't really care about where it should be. I wouldn't mind to see this feature in another module as long as there's a simple and easy way to do it and having this option in yast makes a lot of sense to me. + #5: Michael Löffler (michl19) (2009-08-11 15:06:21) (reply to #3) + If that eases the download for people in areas with bandwith issues we + should make it easy to change in YaST. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306646
