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 for the live cross-component matrix and 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:
- HARDWARE-NETWORKING-INVENTORY.md — what hardware is available for validation. Tracks test bench inventory, per-driver hardware availability, and acquisition priority list.
- HARDWARE-VALIDATION-MATRIX.md — the state of validation per component. Tracks QEMU / bare-metal / hardware columns and gates the production-readiness status.
- 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 §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):
## 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 — netfilter rule validation (specific
to the
netfilter:scheme, six scenario design documented in §Scenario A–F). - USB-VALIDATION-RUNBOOK.md — USB controller validation matrix and QEMU scripts.
- HARDWARE-VALIDATION-MATRIX.md — cross-component validation status (this log updates it).
- 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.
