I have an innocent question. I have read on the handbook and the thesis about the Linux ABI technical explanations that lead me to think that it could be possible to run Mac OS binaries on FreeBSD. I think that if the correct loader was implemented in execve and the Mac OS system calls were also implemented it would be possible to run Mac OS binaries. Am I right? (I am not asking anyone to support this feature, I just would like an hypothetic answer in order to improve my knowledge.) Of course, I suppose there would be technical challenges to solve as there are still for Linux. In fact, I would like to ask further: could this be possible for any operating system (without thinking about if it would worth it)?

Still think this thread should not be in hackers, however I am ccing
because maybe someone is going to look archives for the same question
(hope this does not annoy anyone ;-). Plus I think this mail is going to
terminate this thread.
Yes, deinstall your current firefox.
Yes, there is a special port for linux firefox:
http://www.freshports.org/www/linux-firefox/. You will find at that URL
how to install it.
Further questions just write me... not the list.

Anyway, install Firefox for Linux from ports (I think DesktopBSD should come with this one by default). You will do fine with that.

Re: NDIS driver Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG reaches kernel panic
I have tried using the w29n50.sys file instead of w29n51.sys. It seems that the NDIS wrapper has some trouble with NDIS 5.1 drivers. However it works sometimes.

NDIS driver Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG reaches kernel panic
Hello. I have installed FreeBSD 5.4 on a ASUS S5200N. Runs very nice! However I still need to install Wifi. I saw that Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG is not supported by wlan FreeBSD driver (reading through the man pages). Then I found that I could use the NDIS driver added on FreeBSD 5.3 to achieve Wireless Networking. So, I copied the Windows driver to /sys/modules/if_ndis. Then I run the command: ndiscvt -i w29n51.INF -s w29n51.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h After that: make make install Everything goes fine, but when I do: kldload ndis.ko kldload if_ndis.ko I get this: no match for MmMapIoSpace no match for MmUnmapIoSpace no match for WmiTraceMessage no match for IoWMIRegistrationControl no match for WmiQueryTraceInformation ntoskrnl dummy called... ndis0: mem 0xfe8fe000-0xfe8fefff irq 18 at device 5.0 on pci1 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1 ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:0e:35:40:56:24 ndis0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps ndis0: 11g rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps ntoskrnl dummy called...

I like to see that I have helped neighbours of the world. I do not have the time right now to contribute to FreeBSD, but if sometime I have it, I will give it with pleasure.

Re: My freebsd dream
Hi. As a latinamerican a dream of an elegant desktop FreeBSD too. I studied computer sciences and I can install FreeBSD for desktop use easily, but "regular" people can't. They also can't see what I see beautiful. I hope that biculturalism (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Biculturalism.html) will merge into one beautiful way. I know that in this life anything comes for free. I also know that free software comes from freedom and does not mean software for free. Every project needs funding. Therefore I hope that someday "someone" will find interest and give funding to a Desktop FreeBSD project that latin-americans and the caribbeans could use. I like very much your work.

Or do I need a special driver? If this is needed maybe I can try to program
one, even if I have to learn lots of technical stuff.
Please be gentle, I am not used to technical discussions of FreeBSD. I
would like very much to see my modem working, therefore I will appreciate

Intel PCI Modem
Hello!
I have an "Intel V92 HaM Data Fax Voice" Modem. It is a hardware based
modem. Mi pnpbios recognizes it as "Simple COMM. controler IRQ12".
I would like to hack sio.c in order to get it working. Therefore I think I
should add an entry to pci_ids[] like:
{hex x, "Intel V92 HaM Data Fax Voice", hex y}
But I do not know what are hex x and hex y, or if it is going to work.
With dmesg I can see this:
pci0 (vendor=0x1813, dev=0x4000) at 9.0 irq 12
And if I do pciconf -l:
none0@pci0:9:0: class=0x078000 card=0x chip=0x40001813 rev=0x02
hdr=0x00
My questions are:
* What are hex x and hex y?
* If I hack sio.c like I intend to, is my modem going to work?
* If so, would be the following line correct in my kernel configuration
file:
devicesio2 at isa? port IO_COM3 irq 12
?
Please, I will appreciate very much your help.
I would like very much to connect to Internet so I can build ports, ftp,
telnet, :-)

I have found an error in pccard_ether and I think I solved it.
Hello!
I have FreeBSD 4.1 release. My computer is a laptop, so I use
pccards. I found that with /stand/sysinstall the lan can be configured
automatically, but for pccards it doesn't work. So, after a debugging of
the scripts (just because I like automation and ease of use) I found a
mistake in /etc/pccard_ether. I have changed the line 43 and added a new
line before, so that line 43 is now line 44.
This is the line 43 (the new line 44) after my changes: ' ifconfig ${interface}
${configuration} $* '
And this is the line I added before the line 43 (the new line 43): ' eval
configuration=\$ifconfig_${interface} '
I don't now if this problem has been solved before sending this email,
but my hope is that I can help. Please, forgive my english.
Sincerely yours,
Braulio Jose Solano
