Per local/docs/PATCH-PRESERVATION-AUDIT-2026-07-12.md the base fork was carrying only 38 of 100 patches in local/patches/base/. The other 62 patches' content was silently missing from the fork working tree, even though their .patch files were preserved. This commit re-applies 41 patches that genuinely still apply cleanly + 17 hunks that partially applied. Recovery covers: - D-Bus initfs service wiring (P4-initfs-dbus-services) - USB service wiring (P4-initfs-usb-drm-services) - netcfg/dhcp/dhcpv6 driver fixes - acpid shutdown/PM/quirk fixes - inputd/ps2d hard-fail logging - pcid driver interface refinements (server cmd channel) - virtio-core for VirtualBox support - ixgbed/rtl8139/rtl8168 net drivers - ahcid NCQ + per-function interrupt coalescing - logd persistent logging - bootstrap procmgr race-condition fixes - cargo version pin to +rb0.3.0 (synchronized release branch) 58 files changed, +1444/-318 lines. Untracked mnt/ tree and *.orig / *.rej files cleaned up after patch application (leftover from absolute-path patch headers).
ixgbed (a.k.a. ixy.rs on Redox)
ixgbed is the Redox port of ixy.rs, a Rust rewrite of the ixy userspace network driver.
It is designed to be readable, idiomatic Rust code.
It supports Intel 82599 10GbE NICs (ixgbe family).
Features
- first 10 Gbit/s network driver on Redox
- transmitting 250 times faster than e1000 / rtl8168 driver
- MSI-X interrupts (not supported by Redox yet)
- less than 1000 lines of code for the driver
- documented code
Build instructions
See the Redox README for build instructions.
To run ixgbed on Redox (in case the driver is not shipped with Redox anymore)
- clone this project into
cookbook/recipes/drivers/source/ - create an entry for ixgbed in
cookbook/recipes/drivers/source/Cargo.toml - check if your ixgbe device is included in
config.toml - touch
filesystem.tomlin Redox's root directory, build Redox and run it
Usage
To test the driver's transmit and forwarding capabilities, have a look at rheinfall, a simple packet generator / forwarder application.
