First, let’s get some given’s, like the WAN interface: # echo $(get_wanface) vlan2 Or this way: # nvram show 2>&1|grep -Ei wan_ifname= wan_ifname=vlan2 Stop WAN or LAN ip link set $(get_wanface) down To bring things back up: ip link set $(get_wanface) up Command for WAN in this case: udhcpc -i vlan2 -p /var/run/udhcpc.pid -s /tmp/udhcpc […]

Let’s take a number: 78 and convert it to binary.  We know an 8 bit number is between 0 and 255, let’s draw this out and use 0’s initially, where the top row represents the integer equivalent: POS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 INT 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 […]

There are three NVMe’s in a laptop. Two of the NVMe’s are the exact same model, Intel, and the other is a Kingston NVMe. All NVMe’s are 512GB. All are running either Windows 11 on the two identical drives, or Windows 10 on the Kingston drive. I want to keep only the second NVMe drive […]

Windows 11 already has the AHCI drivers by default.  There’s a number of articles that explain how to modify regex settings.  Usually this is not for the average user, or even an experienced one since if it doesn’t work, those settings would need to be reverted.   And there may not be an easy way to […]
