Re: RALINK RT3572 supported in 9.1-RELEASE ?
On Sat, 25 May 2013 03:11:48 -0700 Ronald F. Guilmette articulated: I have a Trendnet TEW-684UB wireless dual-band USB adapter. Googling around for awhile leads me to believe that this probably contains an Ralink RT3572 chipset. Further googling also leads me to believe that a version of the run(4) driver which should support this chipset was comitted some considerable time ago. Can anyone confirm either or both of these two impressions? Does the TEW-684UB contain an Ralink RT3572? Is support for that chipset present in 9.1-RELEASE? If the answer to both of the above is yes, then where might I find a HOW TO sort of doc which might help me to get this running? I've already added the following lines to /boot/loader.conf and rebooted: if_run_load=YES runfw_load=YES but apparently to no avail. After adding the above two lines to loader.conf and rebooting, shouldn't the device thenceforth appear in the output of ifconfig -a ? (Mine does not.) Seriously, it took me three seconds to go to the TRENDnet page and discover that it uses the RT3573 chip set. http://wikidevi.com/wiki/TRENDnet_TEW-684UB I will leave discovering if the run(4) driver supports it as a lesson for the student. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

One thing mentioned earlier is that ZFS wants lots of memory. 4G-8G minimum, some might say as much as the server will hold. Not necessarily so - deduplication places great demands on memory, but that can be satisfied with dedicated cache devices (on SSD for performance and safety reasons). Without dedup, the requirements are more modest. The rule of thumb for DeDupe is 1GB physical RAM for every 1TB of capacity. The issue is that the DeDupe metadata table must live in the ARC for good performance. The discussion I have seen on the ZFS lists indicates that L2ARC is not really adequate for this, so adding cache devices (SSD's) don't really help. On the other hand, you can use ZFS without DeDupe with as little as 2GB of total system RAM (depending on what else the system is doing). In my experience, the amount of RAM depends on the amount of I/O not the amount of storage. I find between 1GB and 3GB space for the ARC is adequate. -- Paul Kraus Deputy Technical Director, LoneStarCon 3 Sound Coordinator, Schenectady Light Opera Company ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I vaguely recall it made it into -HEAD. I don't think it was ever backported. adrian On 25 May 2013 03:11, Ronald F.
