I am trying to figure out how to fix an niggling dhcp issue and permanently disable ACPI and enable apm on my HP Omnibook 900.
I'm running 5.1RC1, which is great since this is the first time I've managed to get 5.x on this unit. Even my xircom realport cards work. However, I'm having trouble figuring out exactly where to put the ACPI disable line as this machine just crashes and reboots if I leave it enabled. I think it should go in loader.conf, but I'm unsure exactly on the syntax or if that's where it belongs. Also, I seem to remember that you could enable APM with the generic kernel by inserting a line into loader.conf as well. The final question I have is one that's probably obscure. I remember a switch used to tell the dhcp client to send the host name of the laptop to a dhcp server. While it gets a lease perfectly fine, opening up my linksys dhcp table ( at home ) or the NT dhcp server at work I can only see that a machine has that lease. The name of the laptop isn't listed. I had enabled something on a laptop I had a couple of years ago that made it so the name showed up, but I haven't been able to find anything on this since and I have no idea how I did it before or even where I found it. I think I'm missing some probably obvious things. Can anyone at least point me in the proper direction? Thanks. -Chris _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
