Re: simple router ?
Bill Moran wrote: There have been quite a lot of threads in the past month regarding the network performance of 5.3 being inferior to 4.10. You might also want to bear in mind that with the 5 series you have the benefit of OpenBSD's pf firewall. Although more information on 4.x and pf is available at the following link. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-pf/2004-September/000300.html Personally, if it was me, I'd go with 5.x rather than 4.x, but if you are going to be pushing a lot of data then perhaps search the archives for the last month or two regarding network performance. I'm not sure if this is 100% correct anymore. I seem to remember that the performance problems were in 5.3BETA and were fixed prior to the release of 5.3-RELEASE. I'm willing to be corrected if I'm wrong, but I think research of reliable sources would be smart. Well ... I forgot to say I need this router for few weeks only it will be replaced by a cisco box when I will be able to purchase it ,-) So I think a conservative choice would be the best for me in the light of advices I got from people of this list. So I'll build the router on 4.10 base as I really don't need extra features than routing .

pci issues with 5.3
Hello, Trying to compile a custom kernel on 5.3. When i install it and boot it hangs at the pci0 bus probe, i try to switch to debug and it's locked up tight. Sometimes i can get around it by going single user, or safe mode, or acpi disabled, but it's a hit and miss and is not consistent. I just booted with GENERIC and it worked fine. The board in question isn't new it's an Abyt kd7-e and this issue is occuring for the first time in 5.3. Suggestions to find out what it is appreciated. Also, don't know if this is related, but when GENERIC is booted i'm getting pci errors from pcm0 my sb live sound card. Thanks.

The default number of parallel jobs is 2. Increasing this to, say, 8, will save some time in building the index.

If your wireless network uses wep, you need to issue a command similar to this: ifconfig wi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xff00 ssid my_net \ wepmode on wepkey 0x8736639624 Or, in /etc/rc.conf, use something like this: ifconfig_wi0="inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xf00 ssid my_net\ wepmode on wepkey 0x8736639624" If you're using dhcp for ip/mask assignment, then something like this: ifconfig_wi0="inet ssid my_net wepmode on wepkey 0x8736639624" Paul Schmehl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Adjunct Information Security Officer The University of Texas at Dallas AVIEN Founding Member http://www.utdallas.edu Thanks Paul and the others who replied. I will definitely be using the extra info you provided. But unfortunately the wi driver doesn't seem to be working. "kldload if_wi" returns the following output: module_register: module pccard/wi already exists! Module pccard/wi failed to register: 17 module_register: module pci/wi already exists! Module pci/wi failed to register: 17 I'm guessing that this means the the wi driver is already included in the kernel build? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I see this all the time. Sometimes it's fine, other times it will just dump time after time. Very annoying. This happens with systems running cups and those running the base lpd, and on the FreeBSD 4.10 and 5.3 RELEASEs. This was brought up here just after 1.0 was released, but applicable to the pre-release. It was suggested that 1.0 release fixed it, so I upgraded the port right away. First time I tried to print it blew up. Apparently it wasn't fixed. Other than this one annoying problem, I have to say Firefox is still the best darn browser I've ever used.

He read the source code.
Lets kill two birds with one stone (one reply). Earlier Yannack said
he didn't understand why the order of ifconfig_an0 and ifconfig_fxp0
didn't matter in /etc/rc.conf. The reason is that rc.conf doesn't
contain what we would normally think of as executable code. Its a
shell script which sets lots of variables which other shell scripts
later look for. If the variable is found then its used. But the
"looking for" order is already coded. By defining network_interfaces
the automatic probe of interfaces is bypassed. This happens in
/etc/network.subr
The great thing about open source, no matter how badly documented a
thing is, you can always read the code.
Closed or open doesn't make much difference when its a shell script.
:-)
Now for a 3rd bird to kill in one reply I need to remind Yannack
that apparently the *last* dhclient to run sets the default route.
Next time dhclient renews the lease on an0 your default route will
go the wrong way again until the ISP-issued lease renews on fxp0.
I think it would be easiest to statically set the wireless IP
address. After all it is *your* network, right? So you ought to be
able to lay down your own law. With a static address you'll always
know how to reach your FreeBSD box from the wireless side. Otherwise
you ought to dig into dhclient's docs in order to prevent an0 from
setting a default route. Just because it seems to be working now
doesn't mean its time to stop, else you will end up with a typical
PC-grade network.
Am guessing based on the contents of man pages for dhcp-options and
dhclient.conf but you need to put something like the following on
the tail of /etc/dhclient.conf. Am thinking here that these are the
only things you want from the wireless router. That if you don't ask
for a router then you won't be given one. Undefined interfaces in
/etc/dhclient.conf will continue to use the default values.

Re: Multiple NICs
As you have discovered, the order of items listed in /etc/rc.conf doesn't matter. That is because one literally is setting values of variables there. Its some time later before those variables are actually used. I am not sure I quite understood this part... If you wish to continue this direction you might kill your dhclient process which is running on fxp0 then manually start it again "dhclient fxp0". However this is exactly what I was looking for. If that results in the route you wish then you might be able to control the start order with this in /etc/rc.conf: network_interfaces="lo0 an0 fxp0" And this worked Hurray :) Thank you so much!

A good place to start surfing in looking for solutions to this sort of thing is /etc/defaults/rc.conf. As you have discovered, the order of items listed in /etc/rc.conf doesn't matter. That is because one literally is setting values of variables there. Its some time later before those variables are actually used. If you wish to continue this direction you might kill your dhclient process which is running on fxp0 then manually start it again "dhclient fxp0". If that results in the route you wish then you might be able to control the start order with this in /etc/rc.conf: network_interfaces="lo0 an0 fxp0" Another thought from /etc/defaults/rc.conf is to set defaultrotuer="1.2.3.4" (change to the real address your ISP provides. But reading "man dhclient.conf" I think dhclient will clobber any static route on lease renewal no matter if you set it by hand or with crafted interface start order. So go read that man page and edit your /etc/dhclient.conf The solution may lie in "man dhcp-options" ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You're trying to set the ip-address of the interface to "ssid". If you want to use DHCP and also want to set specific options to the interface (like the ssid / wep-key), you'll need to create a startup-script for the interface.

You can try a few digs and see what the response time is. i.e. pick a hostname that you know you haven't visited since the caching DNS server has been running. Then do a dig. >From the gateway. # dig @localhost somehostname then do it again, and see how different the response time is. e.g. on mine: > dig @localhost www.bbc.co.uk ;; Query time: 59 msec ;; SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(localhost) and then again ... ;; Query time: 2 msec ;; SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(localhost) then try this from your client machines on your network (with different domain names etc...) This is a very simple way of doing it. Of course, you could also sniff the gateway's external network interface for DNS traffic and try a hostname you know you should have in your cache. In my case: # tcpdump -i xl0 port 53 There's probably loads of better ways of doing it, but these are nice and simple.

Multiple NICs
Hello, I have just recently installed FreeBSD release 5.3. I am loving it but have a network question. I have two network cards, one for ethernet, one for wifi. I would like to have them both setup to be on DHCP configuration. Now the problem is that whatever order i put the setting in rc.conf, i always end up with the wifi gateway as my default route. I would like it to be the ethernet gateway when available, and only if not available the wifi (as my wifi gateway is kind of restrictive). Shortly made: to give the hardwire connection priority. This is what i tried setting in rc.conf: ifconfig_an0="DHCP" ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP" and ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP" ifconfig_an0="DHCP" None of the above work (ie: they both make the default route go through an0 - wifi - and i suspect this is because the wifi dhcp is slower to answer than the ethernet one), so i ended up commenting out the wifi line (an0) and activating it by hand when needed... However this is quite troublesome as it means killing the dhclient running, before running another dhclient an0... If anybody has a better suggestion for me I would be quite grateful! Thanks!!!

Re: NVidia driver not using AGP?

compiling kernel with ndis options
Hi, When trying to use ndis on my 5.3-rel-p1, I get the following compile error. I added to my kernel "options ndisapi" and "device ndis" (the "device wlan" was already compiled in), all as found in the man ndis-synopsis. But the compilation stops because there is a file missing : ndis_driver_data.h. That file I created with "ndiscvt -i file.inf -s file.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h" in the /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis directory and now I've made a copy of it in the /usr/src/sys/dev/if_ndis directory but the compilation still does not find the needed file (and it is there !). I already did a "make" in /usr/src/sys/modules/ndis and /modules/if_ndis and I can load those .ko modules without any problems with a kldload, even at boot via /boot/loader.conf. Any hints on how I get my kenel compiled ?

How can I do this from the shell on a RELENG_5 box. e.g. I boot from HD (F1) I want to then without having to sit on the console, make it boot from USB drive, as if I hit F5. Is this boot0cfg ?

Re: JDK Issues
Dick Davies wrote: That's the trouble - the linux jdk14 *does* tell you you need to build linprocfs: but of course this is only helpful if you are building ports one at a time (otherwise you don't see the messages from the dependencies you are installing). That's a general problem IMO with all the BSD pkgsrc/ports tree implementations BTW, and should be fixed - maybe by buffering all the dependant pkg-messages generated and echoing them one after the other when the final build finishes? (trouble is I don't think ports/pkgsrc is aware of whether it just built a dependency, or whether you've had it installed for two years). In this case I think an argument could be made for the native jdk port to check for linprocfs, as you say. Have you contacted the port maintainer (try [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you get no joy elsewhere, they're a good bunch)? Besides being EXTREMELY difficult to wade through the normal compiler messages for even a small batch to find the actual messages you need to see, it isn't very user-friendly that it'll happily keep building even if it runs into this sort of problem. It can stop if the problem is within the ports tree, but in this case, the OP wasn't watching the message at the very beginning of the make, and within seconds that message may have scrolled offscreen. If it was in the middle of a batch, you can't see the message whether at beginning OR end. Now, I'm well aware that "user-friendly" isn't what everone wants, and indeed, given the overall impression I've received of the *BSD world among the open source community, is even less likely to be used by the uninitiated than most flavours of Linux(compare the install programs for FreeBSD and Mandrake Linux, for instance), but nevertheless - I'm not exactly a power-user myself, and have wished for a way to turn up the idiot-proof level of FreeBSD, especially where ports are concerned. Having portupgrade spit out messages for any port that failed or, say, completed with a warning(and any port that can't check for all prerequisites because, e.g., some of them don't lie in the ports tree should automatically generate such a warning) after the batch was resolved would be a Good Thing; and if it needs some such prerequisites to even compile correctly, that would be a good point to have an interactive step when not in full-blown, no-interaction batch mode. -BB ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hi, I'm stuck trying to build a kernel to get support for my atapi cd burner. Why is atapicam support for ide burners wich are pretty much mainstream these days not build in by default? I have a 4.10 freeBSD and did cvsup with src-all. Then I needed to update the configure program itself because of version diffences complaints. Then I did a make buildworld wich took hours but it completed without errors. The error when doing make depend is: bash-2.05b# make depend rm -f .olddep if [ -f .depend ]; then mv .depend .olddep; fi make _kernel-depend cc -c -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual -fformat-extensions -std=c99 -nostdinc -I- -I. -I../../.. -I../../../contrib/dev/acpica -I../../../contrib/altq -I../../../contrib/ipfilter -I../../../contrib/pf -I../../../contrib/dev/ath -I../../../contrib/dev/ath/freebsd -I../../../contrib/ngatm -D_KERNEL -include opt_global.h -finline-limit=8000 --param inline-unit-growth=100 --param large-function-growth=1000 -mno-align-long-strings -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -ffreestanding ../../../i386/i386/genassym.c cc: inline-unit-growth=100: No such file or directory cc: large-function-growth=1000: No such file or directory cc1: Invalid option `no-align-long-strings' cc1: unknown C standard `c99' cc1: Invalid option `-finline-limit=8000' cc1: Invalid option `-fparam' cc1: Invalid option `-fparam' *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/MY2. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/MY2. bash-2.05b# p What can be tried to make it compile?

To generate a key for rndc, I used "rndc-confgen". If you are running named with chroot, wich is the default installation, be shure that the keyfile is "/var/named/etc/namedb/rndc.key" I think "dnssec-keygen" is for generating a key for secure hostname lookups and not for rndc commands. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That's the trouble - the linux jdk14 *does* tell you you need to build linprocfs: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:linux-sun-jdk14$ cat /usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk14/pkg-message == Warning: This JDK may be unstable. You are advised to use the native FreeBSD JDK, in ports/java/jdk14. This Java VM will attempt to obtain some system information by accessing files in linux's procfs. You must install the Linux emulation procfs filesystem for this to work correctly. The JVM will exhibit various problems otherwise. This can be accomplished by adding the following line to your /etc/fstab file: linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 and then, as root, executing the commands: kldload linprocfs mount /compat/linux/proc == but of course this is only helpful if you are building ports one at a time (otherwise you don't see the messages from the dependencies you are installing). That's a general problem IMO with all the BSD pkgsrc/ports tree implementations BTW, and should be fixed - maybe by buffering all the dependant pkg-messages generated and echoing them one after the other when the final build finishes? (trouble is I don't think ports/pkgsrc is aware of whether it just built a dependency, or whether you've had it installed for two years). In this case I think an argument could be made for the native jdk port to check for linprocfs, as you say.

Cleanly make nvidia-driver gl.h override xorg-libraries gl.h
Hello. I've just bought a GeForce 6800 card, and it worked wonderfully with the nvidia-driver port. I was wondering, is there a way to cleanly make nVidia's gl.h (which is installed under /usr/X11R6/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/gl.h) override xorg-libraries gl.h (which is under /usr/X11R6/include/GL/gl.h)? Can I simply replace one with the other? This means that I'd have to manually fiddle with this everytime one of these ports is updated, which would be inconvenient given that I update my ports very frequently. So, what would you suggest? FYI, I'm running 5.3-RELEASE, with CURRENT ports updated every few hours.

There have been quite a lot of threads in the past month regarding the network performance of 5.3 being inferior to 4.10.
