NETWORKING-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md:803 referenced a non-existent file 'local/docs/networking-validation-log.md' (Finding F19 from audit). Created that file as the canonical per-run bare-metal networking validation log, cross-referencing: - HARDWARE-NETWORKING-INVENTORY.md (what hardware is available) - HARDWARE-VALIDATION-MATRIX.md (the state of validation) - FIREWALL-VALIDATION-LOG.md (netfilter scenario validation) - USB-VALIDATION-RUNBOOK.md (USB controller validation) Document structure: each run entry records hardware, software versions, commands, results, regressions, fixes. Open tasks: acquire USB-C dongle, Threadripper NIC inventory, USB Bluetooth adapter, first run. Also updated NETWORKING-AND-DRIVERS-CODE-ASSESSMENT-2026-07-27.md §15.1 to reflect this round's fixes (config includes, recipe versions, submodule CRITICAL fixes: BufferPool zero-fill, xHCI bounds, e1000d bounds, rtl8139d/rtl8168d panic→exit). Also documents that the openssh IPv4-only sed workaround was correctly identified as needing a local fork (local/recipes/net/openssh/) to fix properly, NOT a direct mainline edit (per AGENTS.md).

# Red Bear OS Networking Validation Log
|
||
|
||
**Status:** Staged (2026-07-27). See [HARDWARE-VALIDATION-MATRIX.md](./HARDWARE-VALIDATION-MATRIX.md)
|
||
for the live cross-component matrix and [HARDWARE-NETWORKING-INVENTORY.md](./HARDWARE-NETWORKING-INVENTORY.md)
|
||
for per-driver hardware availability.
|
||
|
||
## Purpose
|
||
|
||
This document is the canonical per-run log of bare-metal networking validation activities for
|
||
Red Bear OS. Each run records:
|
||
|
||
- Hardware under test (machine, NIC model, BIOS/UEFI version)
|
||
- Software versions (kernel, relibc, netstack, drivers)
|
||
- Test commands executed
|
||
- Observed results
|
||
- New regressions or fixes
|
||
|
||
## Related Documents
|
||
|
||
This log is one of three coordinated artifacts. Read them in this order:
|
||
|
||
1. [HARDWARE-NETWORKING-INVENTORY.md](./HARDWARE-NETWORKING-INVENTORY.md) — *what* hardware
|
||
is available for validation. Tracks test bench inventory, per-driver hardware availability,
|
||
and acquisition priority list.
|
||
2. [HARDWARE-VALIDATION-MATRIX.md](./HARDWARE-VALIDATION-MATRIX.md) — *the state* of validation
|
||
per component. Tracks QEMU / bare-metal / hardware columns and gates the production-readiness
|
||
status.
|
||
3. This document — *the per-run record* of validation activities that update the matrix.
|
||
|
||
Per the project's evidence policy (per the [NETWORKING-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md](./NETWORKING-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md)
|
||
§Validation Evidence Requirements), every "validated" claim in any plan or doc must be backed
|
||
by an entry in this log.
|
||
|
||
## Format
|
||
|
||
Each run entry should follow this structure (Markdown):
|
||
|
||
```markdown
|
||
## YYYY-MM-DD — <Test bench> — <Operator>
|
||
|
||
**Hardware:** <machine> · <NIC model> · <PCI IDs>
|
||
**Software:** Red Bear OS <branch> · kernel <hash> · relibc <hash> · netstack <hash>
|
||
**Scope:** <what was tested, e.g. "e1000d on Threadripper — IPv4 DHCP+ping">
|
||
**Commands:**
|
||
\```
|
||
<exact commands run, with exit codes>
|
||
\```
|
||
**Results:** <PASS/FAIL/PARTIAL per test case>
|
||
**Regressions:** <newly discovered issues, with file:line>
|
||
**Fixes:** <fixes applied, with commit hash>
|
||
**Updated:** <links to entries updated in HARDWARE-VALIDATION-MATRIX.md>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Runs
|
||
|
||
*(none yet — first run is the open task for the operator)*
|
||
|
||
## Cross-References to Other Validation Artifacts
|
||
|
||
- [FIREWALL-VALIDATION-LOG.md](./FIREWALL-VALIDATION-LOG.md) — netfilter rule validation (specific
|
||
to the `netfilter:` scheme, six scenario design documented in §Scenario A–F).
|
||
- [USB-VALIDATION-RUNBOOK.md](./USB-VALIDATION-RUNBOOK.md) — USB controller validation matrix and
|
||
QEMU scripts.
|
||
- [HARDWARE-VALIDATION-MATRIX.md](./HARDWARE-VALIDATION-MATRIX.md) — cross-component validation
|
||
status (this log updates it).
|
||
- [HARDWARE-NETWORKING-INVENTORY.md](./HARDWARE-NETWORKING-INVENTORY.md) — hardware gate for
|
||
this log (records what can be tested).
|
||
|
||
## Open Tasks (as of 2026-07-27)
|
||
|
||
- **T-N1:** Acquire USB-C Ethernet dongle (~$15) for LG Gram bare-metal networking.
|
||
- **T-N2:** Collect Threadripper NIC inventory (`lspci -nn | grep -i ethernet`).
|
||
- **T-N3:** Acquire USB Bluetooth adapter (~$10) for LG Gram bare-metal Bluetooth.
|
||
- **T-N4:** First bare-metal networking run on Threadripper + onboard NIC.
|
||
|
||
These are the same tasks tracked in §15.4 of the [code audit](../docs/NETWORKING-AND-DRIVERS-CODE-ASSESSMENT-2026-07-27.md).
