2005-01-31 Thread security
Hi list, I'd like some insight on the following; Me and a friend were discussing tech stuff and he said that, when using dual (or more) CPU systems, it is the hardware itself (and alone) choosing which CPU will execute this or that process. But I think it is the OS kernel (FreeBSD in this case)

Hey, Thanks for the reply! Should I go for the SiteCom one? I only included it on the list because there are really few available PCI wireless cards around here; I didn't see it listed on man wi. Belkin is there (different model) and SMC is there (also a different model). Can you grant me

Just a quick add, my dmesg doesn't show acpi_cmbat entries. You probably confused my dmesg with yours (from the dmesg mail I sent you) On Sun, 26 Dec 2004 15:26, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'll try it out; meanwhile, I've discovered the sysctl to change this manually. I've checked it works by
