Re: network manager
And if mixerctl doesn't help you then post a dmesg. It is good practice here to always send a dmesg when you have a hardware issue. There is no GUI wifi manager that I know of. There are various scripts that people have posted to misc@ over time to try to make wifi management 'smart'/'windows-like', but most OpenBSDers seem to prefer just typing a line at the command prompt. -Nick On 12/31/08, Rene Maroufi wrote: > On Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 01:58:29AM -0800, lordfabri wrote: >> Hi Nick and thanks for the answer. >> >> I have installed openbsd on my laptop and everything works fine,gnome too. >> What i haven't uderstand is: >> >> 1)I have a Digicom usb wifi with Zydas chipset and i 'vre read it's just >> supported...but i don't know to activate (command not found with lsusb and >> lspci) > > lspci and lsusb are not part of OpenBSD, you can use usbdevs (instead of > lsusb).

Re: network manager
Hi Nick and thanks for the answer. I have installed openbsd on my laptop and everything works fine,gnome too. What i haven't uderstand is: 1)I have a Digicom usb wifi with Zydas chipset and i 'vre read it's just supported...but i don't know to activate (command not found with lsusb and lspci) 2)Is there a graphical network manager like wicd or something where i can use wifi connections? 3)The audio. What do i need to initialize it? 4)Tar,zip ecc..how do you add with right-clck the function extract here? 5)Opera has Java included?Because from ports in java i can't install it the output is error 1 while installing... thanks !!

Second: judging from it's homepage (http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/) it seems pretty linux-centric (and needs linux's HAL?). This isn't too surprising, networking is a fairly low level OS-specific operation, and the network manager would have to contend with all the varieties. Anyway, NetworkManager is flakey from my rare interactions with it on Ubuntu, why bother? -Nick
