  Edward Whymper - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
Among the objects of this tour was the illustration of an unsuccessful attempt made by Professor Bonney's party, to ascend Mont Pelvoux, at that time believed to be the highest peak of the Dauphin Alps.
Whymper successfully completed the ascent of Mont Pelvoux in 1861, the first of a series of expeditions that threw much light on the topography of a area at a time very imperfectly mapped.
From the summit of Mont Pelvoux, Whymper discovered that it was overtopped by a neighboring peak, subsequently named the Barre des Écrins, which, before the annexation of Savoy added Mont Blanc to the possessions of France, was the highest point in the French Alps.

 The Case of Rodolfo Amedeo Pelvoux
Pelvoux's poetical carreer is not overly popular, and accusations of obscurity and small familiarity with the structure of verses lead the author to a public and overacted renunciation to poetry after the sinking of his collection "Le Luci del Nord" (Northern Lights, 1922).
A Pelvoux lecture held in 1929 in front of the club members, about some so-called "pre-cambrian" fossils of unknown provenance, and that are later revealed to be badly executed fakes marks the unofficial end of his collaboration with this institution.
In january 1935, Rodolfo Pelvoux surprises everyone by attempting to enroll as a volunteer in the Italian Army invading Etiopia, but he is refused a commission during the medical exham, and described as "clearly unhealty under psichologycal and characterial profiles".

 Problems with the Netgear FA310TX - Broadcasts and TX Lockup
The first problem is that pelvoux cannot ping bonehead at this stage.
If I go to bonehead and ping pelvoux it works, and after that I can ping bonehead from pelvoux, presumably because pelvoux has discovered the correct ethernet address from the incomming packets.
The next test that fails is to send a long stream of TCP data from pelvoux (with the FA310TX) to bonehead.
