dgb driver update
Hello! We've updated dgb driver so that it doesn't 'use old compatibility schemes' I think this update is worth being included into source tree. Should I send it to the list or there is now another way of submitting updates? -- Oleg Sharoiko. Software and Network Engineer Computer Center of Rostov State University.

D-Link DGE-550T NIC
Hi people, did anybody use it with FreeBSD 4.5? The problem is that the system doesn't see it, however 'nge' and 'miibus' support are included into the kernel. Is it correct that it must be 'nge', because as described in the man page, only DGE-500T card is supported by nge, however both DGE-550T and DGE-500T use the same DP83820 chip. Or am I missing something here?

It can get in line behind the other almost 3000 open PR's, 65% of which are ports, 30% of which are against kern, and for which many contain patches, but have not been committed (yes, I am skeptical about the effectiveness of "send-pr", and will probably remain so, until all PR's with patches attached have their patches committed and are closed). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

The program attached below did the trick. It does a little bit more so here is a quick explanation: I wanted to physically push the RESET button of another machine (running Windoze, btw. :-)). To make things a bit more robust I used all 8 lines of data which are attached to a HC 688 (iirc) whose second 8 bit input is hardwired to the value 0x5A. Its output drives an optocoupler whose output is connected to the RESET connector of the Windoze box. The power was supplied by all output capable lines of the parallel port (8 data, strobe, some control lines) which are all connected via diodes and a resistor to a capacitor. The program first drives the 8 databits high to charge the capacitor for 5 seconds. It then puts the 0x5A word on the wire for one second. This is when the HC 688's output goes high and drives the optocoupler to reset the windoze box. If you look at the program you'll find that every dataoutput is surrounded by the apprpropriate STROBE action. Hth, -Andre #include #include #include #include #include #include #include int Fd; void send( u_int8_t byte ) { u_int8_t myc, tmp; printf( "Sending %02X\n", byte ); if( ioctl( Fd, PPIGCTRL, &myc ) == -1 ) // save old control err( EX_IOERR, "save control" ); myc &= ~STROBE & ~PCD;// strobe high tmp = myc; if( ioctl( Fd, PPISCTRL, &tmp )== -1 ) err( EX_IOERR, "set control" ); if( ioctl( Fd, PPISDATA, &byte ) == 1 ) // set my code err( EX_IOERR, "set data" ); tmp = myc | STROBE; // strobe low if( ioctl( Fd, PPISCTRL, &tmp )== -1 ) err( EX_IOERR, "set control" ); tmp = myc; if( ioctl( Fd, PPISCTRL, &tmp )== -1 )// strobe high err( EX_IOERR, "set control" ); } int main( int argc, const char* argv[] ) { if( (Fd = open( "/dev/ppi0", O_RDWR)) <= 0 ) err( EX_IOERR, "open /dev/ppi0" ); send( 0xFF ); // charge C sleep( 5 ); send( 0x5A ); // send code sleep( 1 ); send( 0xFF ); // disable code return( 0 ); }

Panic: ffs_clusteralloc: map mismatch (fwd)
I sent this to freebsd-questions a few minutes ago.. if anyone here can help too I'd really be indebted :-) -- Forwarded message -- From: Avleen Vig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2002 09:56:36 + (GMT) Subject: Panic: ffs_clusteralloc: map mismatch Maybe a question for freebsd-hackers.. not sure.. FreeBSD 4.4, P166, 128Mb, 3 HD's: ad0, ad1, ad4, as ata0-master, ata1-master and ata2-master. ata2-master is a Promise ata 100 controller (tx2 I think). For several months my server has been panicing, and I'm starting to think it's a bad harddrive. I don't believe it's bad code (although I guess it could be). I really need help in finding the drive responsible so that I can replace it, but my debugging skills are limited to what I've learnt from the OnLamp kernel debugging lesson :-) I'd really appreciate it if someone could look over the crash dump output below and let me know how I might be able to find out what write was attempted when the server paniced. I have the last 4 crash dumps saved so I can go back and look for matches in consistancy too. Also running a debugging kernel but the code was last CVSUp'd about 8 months ago.

I'm unfortunately just as > sceptical about a patch floating in a random mailing list. > > Rock & a hard place :( The best way is to send a pr and then followup on mailing lists as appropriate or perhaps by contacting the maintainer. The PR provides history for a given problem and patch and the followup initiates action on behalf of the committers. It's important to get someone to take up the "responsible" field before any action can happen. BTW, the number of PRs is not totally the fault of committers. I've been scanning through the DB with about 50% of my FreeBSD-time and fixing things that I find there. However, it has taken about 3x as long as I expected to commit a patch because almost all of them are very incomplete and actually are more a suggestion on an area that needs improvement, not a fix. -Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
Request for submissions: FreeBSD Bi-Monthly Development Status Report Sept-Oct 2002 (fwd)
Reminder that the deadline for status report submissions is rapidly approaching. Please follow the directions below to submit a FreeBSD development status report. Thanks, Robert N M Watson FreeBSD Core Team, TrustedBSD Projects [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Associates Laboratories -- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2002 13:29:54 -0500 (EST) From: Robert Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Request for submissions: FreeBSD Bi-Monthly Development Status Report Sept-Oct 2002 This is a solicitation for submissions for the September 2002 - October 2002 FreeBSD Bi-Monthly Development Status Report. All submissions are due by November 10, 2002. Submissions should be made by filling out the template found at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/status/report-sample.xml Submissions must then be e-mailed to the following address for automated processing (IT HAS CHANGED): [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reports must be submitted in the XML format described, or they will be silently dropped. Submissions made to other e-mail addresses will be ignored. If more than one report is submitted for a project, the latest instance will be used. Status reports should be submitted once per project, although project developers may choose to submit additional reports on specific sub-projects of substantial size. Status reports are typically one or two short paragraphs, but the text may be up to 20 lines in length. Submissions are welcome on a variety of topics relating to FreeBSD, including development, documentation, advocacy, and development processes. Submitting developer status reports help maintain an important link between FreeBSD developers, as well as a link to the user and sponsor communities. By submitting a report, you help share information about the rapid progress made by the project, making it easier for advocates to point at the excellent work that's being done! Prior status reports may be viewed at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/news/status/ Of particular interest, rolling up to the 5.0 release, are reports relating to the major architectural projects with results in 5.0, including SMPng, KSE, GEOM, TrustedBSD, UFS2, newcard, firewire, ACPI, IPsec acceleration, and new hardware ports including sparc64 and ia64. Including reports on the status approaching the release, and identifying areas where "must be done" requirements are present for the release will help consumers of FreeBSD get a sense of what they can expect in 5.0, as well as what other developers need to work on in order to make it happen.
