stuck beacon ?
Hi all, I've a D-Link DWL-G520 with atheros chipset plugged in my server today. The card is neatly reckognised (kldload if_ath0) But when I do a ifconfig ath0 sssid my_net media autoselect mode 11g mediaopt hostap channel 1 up I get this error on screen: ath0: stuck beacon: resetting (bmiss count 4) So I guess I must be doing something wrong here. I'm trying to get the card in accesspoint mode and I want it bridged (by if_bridge), but maybe this is not supported with this card? I have no wireless router. My server is cabled (and now wireless too). The server runs fbsd-6.0 (waiting for 6.1-R to update) Any pointers, hints? Can this card be an accesspoint? If not, I guess I have to set it up as a seperate wifi internal lancard and change pf, ipnat, dhcpd and named to listen and work with this adapter too? -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 6.0 +++ The Power to Serve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Newbie question - cannot add new disk
Thanks for your interest in this. A large part of the problem was in fact a bad cable. I went back and forth between the command line and sysinstall. They seem not to do the same things. It did seem to me that the disklabel in sysinstall and the disklabel command-line tool did not necessarily produce labels that were mutually intelligible. It looks also as if when writing with disklabel in sysinstall, one of the newly created slices has to be highlighted, something not made clear in the Handbook. I ended up making partitions instead of slices, as disklabel did not like what the sysinstall-disklabel produced. Also, the fdisk tool in sysinstall did not always wipe and create new partition entries -- it sometimes just appended new ones, although that is not what it displayed. I needed dd to actually wipe the table and start anew. This seemed to continue despite the new cable. However, I am not exactly a reliable observer, being, as stated, very new to BSD.

Putting /tmp on a separate volume?

if_bridge with ndis0+rl0
Hello. My ndis0 card is a TNET1130 (ACX111 chipset) and can be put into promiscuous mode. I was wondering if if_bridge can be used to bridge this ndis0 and my rl0? I have tried to do it using these commands: # ifconfig bridge0 create # ifconfig bridge0 addm ndis0 addm rl0 # ifconfig bridge0 up Using those above commands, I cannot get traffic from my wired network through the wireless interface to my wireless AP in my roommate's room (where the cable connection is). So, while most people want to connect their 802.11 to their wired connection, I want to do just the opposite. Is there anything I can do, or am I screwed unless I get another wireless card that works with if_bridge? Thanks for the input!

copy the *.inf file and the *.sys file for your xp driver into
/sys/modules/if_ndis,
run: ndiscvt -i {your inf file} -s {your sys file} -o ndis_driver_data.h (in
your modules/if_ndis folder!)
now run the usual make; make install to build the if_ndis module
now if you load the modules in order: kldload ndis; kldload if_ndis; the
device should load up on ifconfig.
if this doesnt work out post the debug info for it

Re: anyone understand torvald's critique of freebsd?
Peter wrote: Does anyone here understand Linus Torvald's recent comments on FreeBSD? http://bsdnews.com/view_story.php3?story_id=5735 Sure. There are different ways of moving data between the kernel and userland; the classic mechanism involves copying data from a wired-down page in kernel space allocated to network memory buffers to a userland page via copyin() and copyout() (or equivalents). Mach (and apparently the ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS option to FreeBSD) manipulate the VM page table mappings to make that page visible in the process address space rather than copying the sequence of bytes manually via a message-passing paradigm. The former approach tends to be more efficient for small amounts of data, especially for things smaller than one page of memory (ie, all non-jumbo network traffic); the latter approach tends to better for things which are bigger in size. The Mach VM has more overhead to its operations because the VMOs are more complicated to work and a given workload will result in comparatively larger VMO datastructures than the less-complicated approaches to doing VM. On the other hand, Mach was the first or among the earliest platforms to support shared libraries, dynamic loading of objects into user processes (dlopen vs. dso) and into the kernel, and has somewhat better scaling in the face of gigabytes of RAM and VM usage than most Unix flavors do (outside of Solaris, although FreeBSD is pretty decent nowadays too). Mach handles mapping shared libraries into VM via a technique called prebinding that can minimize the work and memory overhead required for runtime symbol relocation, which tends to big win if you are running a lot of, say, Java or Perl processes that make extensive use of runtime class-loading, yet is flexible enough to deal with collisions if needed (whereas the older fixed-VM shared libraries were subject to evil nasty conflicts if your data segment grew too big and overlapped a library's chosen address space, or if two libraries wanted to be mapped into the same spot). -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have done the following: 1) visit a file using cp866 with cyrillic letters; 2) set terminal-coding-system to alternativnyj (it is just cp866); 3) set file coding system to alternativnyj. Now I see two characters instead each cyrrillic letter. Cursor moves only to one half of visible characters. The characters vary in unpredictable way when it moves. For the second, it does not go to Quail mode. An error message Cannot open load file: overlay appears when I type C-\ or something like this. So, no mule at all. What should I do?

Peter wrote: Does anyone here understand Linus Torvald's recent comments on FreeBSD? http://bsdnews.com/view_story.php3?story_id=5735 Sure. There are different ways of moving data between the kernel and userland; the classic mechanism involves copying data from a wired-down page in kernel space allocated to network memory buffers to a userland page via copyin() and copyout() (or equivalents). Mach (and apparently the ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS option to FreeBSD) manipulate the VM page table mappings to make that page visible in the process address space rather than copying the sequence of bytes manually via a message-passing paradigm. The former approach tends to be more efficient for small amounts of data, especially for things smaller than one page of memory (ie, all non-jumbo network traffic); the latter approach tends to better for things which are bigger in size. The Mach VM has more overhead to its operations because the VMOs are more complicated to work and a given workload will result in comparatively larger VMO datastructures than the less-complicated approaches to doing VM. On the other hand, Mach was the first or among the earliest platforms to support shared libraries, dynamic loading of objects into user processes (dlopen vs. dso) and into the kernel, and has somewhat better scaling in the face of gigabytes of RAM and VM usage than most Unix flavors do (outside of Solaris, although FreeBSD is pretty decent nowadays too). Mach handles mapping shared libraries into VM via a technique called prebinding that can minimize the work and memory overhead required for runtime symbol relocation, which tends to big win if you are running a lot of, say, Java or Perl processes that make extensive use of runtime class-loading, yet is flexible enough to deal with collisions if needed (whereas the older fixed-VM shared libraries were subject to evil nasty conflicts if your data segment grew too big and overlapped a library's chosen address space, or if two libraries wanted to be mapped into the same spot). -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- No virus found in this incoming message.

Custom Kernel questions...
While I am not exactly new to FreeBSD or other *nix variants, I choose to use FreeBSD because of its blazing performance, especially on older, slower machines. Yet, I also wish to strip that kernel to squeeze out every bit of usable power I can. My delving into kernel customizing with FreeBSD has been realativly short, and for the most part error free, but in comparison to Linux, it seems to offer fewer customizing options. More specificly, many of my machines are being setup as servers, and thusly have no need of many services such as sound drivers, yet it appears that I see code for them passing by the screen as I configure and compile. Has anyone here delved deeper into the configuration of the kernel, are there more options is other files aside from the main configuration file? Andrew - Celebrate Earth Day everyday!

By cutting out drivers for devices that you don't need (see the output of dmesg to check what you've got), you reduce the size of the kernel itself. However, the default buildkernel target will build all kernel modules, which is probably why you see sound drivers etc scrolling by. In order to avoid compiling modules you don't need, there is the MODULES_OVERRIDE knob in /etc/make.conf, which you can set to the names of the modules you actually want. The following knobs may be of interest to you, but I have only ever had cause to use MODULES_OVERRIDE so can't speak with any authority. #NO_MODULES=# do not build modules with the kernel #MODULES_WITH_WORLD=# do not build modules when building kernel #MODULES_OVERRIDE= linux ipfw # The list of modules to never build, applied *after* MODULES_OVERRIDE. #WITHOUT_MODULES= bktr plip HTH Dan -- Daniel Bye PGP Key: ftp://ftp.slightlystrange.org/pgpkey/dan.asc PGP Key fingerprint: D349 B109 0EB8 2554 4D75 B79A 8B17 F97C 1622 166A _ ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) - against HTML, vCards and X - proprietary attachments in e-mail / \ pgpxRuk7gChsX.pgp Description: PGP signature

Has anyone here delved deeper into the configuration of the kernel, are there more options is other files aside from the main configuration file? Andrew Sound drivers are not included in the kernel unless explicitly listed in the kernel config file. What you see is probably the kernel modules being compiled. All modules are normally always compiled and installed regardless of the kernel configuration. (One can change this using various options in /etc/make.conf, but unless disk space is really tight or the time needed to compile a kernel has to be reduced as much as possible, there is not really any need to disable various modules from being built.) To find all the options that can be used in the kernel config file you can look at /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES (for machine-independent options) and /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES (for i386-specific options.) You should also read the FreeBSD handbook's chapter on kernel configuration if you have not already done so: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Re: anyone understand torvald's critique of freebsd?
Ted Mittelstaedt wrote: Then why does Linus think manipulating the VM page table mappings is bad? That is, why does he -really- think it's bad, not the publically-given reason? Is it because Linux is extrordinairly inefficient in page table mappings due to some structural decision that Linus made that cannot be reversed now, that it could never be any good at it? Or is there some other reason? I can't speak with certainty as to what someone else might think; no doubt Linus is entirely capable of explaining his own position should you wish to inquire, however :-) I think Linus doesn't care much for Zero-copy sockets because for the common case of 1500/1504-byte MTU, you end up wasting at least 60% of a 4096-byte page for each packet, and maybe ?three? times that much if your hardware splits the packet into separate pages for the mbuf header, the packet headers, and the packet data. I think FreeBSD doesn't enable Zero-copy sockets by default because those are legitimate criticisms, but there is some interest and potential for benefits from them, at least for some other circumstances like jumbo ethernet frames. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Simluating a satellite connection using dummynet?
Hi all - Odd question for you. I have the opportunity to work from home, but it would require using a sat internet connection (no cable or dsl anywhere close). I've been reading up on it and best I can tell I'm looking at 1000ms round trips... at *best*. Most of what I do I can do on servers at home, but there will be the occasional ssh, etc. I recently setup ipfw/dummynet with a pipe and a 750ms delay both in and out and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be -- at least for ssh/text. Reminds me of my days on a 9600 baud modem. heh. I'm curious though whether this is a realistic test. Thoughts? Any of you use satellite? How do you find it?
