I had partial success with the wpi driver on Toshiba Satellite
A105-40??.  I need to systematically write the steps & the output &
post about the problems to the -mobile@ list.

In short, before I recompiled the kernel (6.2-PRERELEASE) with kdb,
& more importantly with WITNESS & INVARIANTS support, after loading
the driver, system used to go in panic on shutdown or reboot.  There
definitely was a working connection during my unstructured testing.

Will post again w/ more details.

Hi Lowell:

Thanks for your mail.

On the FreeBSD 6.2-RC1 system, latex is already installed.

Now, when I try to install teTex, it conflicts with the existing installation.


bsd# make install
===>  Installing for teTeX-3.0_1

===>  teTeX-3.0_1 conflicts with installed package(s):
  dvips-5.76
  latex2e-2003.12_1
  tex-3.14159_3

  They install files into the same place.
  Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/print/teTeX.


Bibliographic style files are required by Bibtex and so I thought
that there would be a single independent package (like mplayer codecs) 
that would need to be installed.

thanks
Saifi Khan.

The problem is too many files open.

Add this to /etc/sysctl.conf

kern.maxfiles=16144

Then in a terminal type: 

sysctl kern.maxfiles=16144

If you still get the error try increasing it some more. 

Also you should read man tuning as the  error message suggests, especially the 
section about kern.maxfiles.

i think you must be referring to.  on my system, the default setting can be 
seen, like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ sysctl -a|grep kern.maxfiles
kern.maxfiles: 12328

in order to raise this, a line would be added to /boot/loader.conf, like this:
kern.maxfiles=24576

i dont recall the original question! =)

openssh-portable is what i am speaking of.

the port is at /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable

current version is at 4.5 whereas yours was 1-2 major versions behind that.

check it out. once its installed, add this to /etc/rc.conf

sshd_enable="NO"
openssh_enable="YES"

that way the built in ssh doesnt run but openssh does. works wunderbar!

well, the freebsd guests install just as normally as any real machine.  it 
even recognized the ACPI without any trouble.  the vmware-tools install a 
daemon that listens to commands from the host, and will reboot (kinda like 
ctrl-alt-del on the console) or poweroff the guest via buttons on the remote 
console, or by rebooting/shutting down the host.

i will note, that the freebsd tools need a quick patch (whipped up by someone 
who appears to be a vmware employee, from the vmware forums) to completly 
acpi-poweroff the guests.  this patch:

--- vmware-tools.sh.bak Mon Sep 11 11:36:27 2006
+++ vmware-tools.sh Wed Nov  1 13:09:47 2006
@@ -609,6 +609,7 @@

   cd "$vmdb_answer_SBINDIR" && "$vmdb_answer_SBINDIR"/vmware-guestd \
+--halt-command "/sbin/shutdown -p now" \
 --background "$GUESTD_PID_FILE"
 }

does the trick.  (changes the command that the daemon issues from 'shutdown 
now' to shutdown -p now').

my email, web, and 2 dns servers, are all virtual machines running on a single 
linux host.  they run fantastic, and i couldnt be more pleased with their 
performance.

Hey,

What i recommend is having a look at ezjail. In doing so, see how it uses
nullfs for multiple jails and use that as a base to create your own, or just
use ezjail itself. ports/sysutils/ezjail

If I understand your question correctly;

If your system is configured correctly and the date/time is
set correctly, the output of  'date'  should be the correct
time and date for your time zone.   

If you add the -u flag, it should display the current GMT time and date.

For example, if the current time in Thailand is 15:00 (3:00 pm), 
then plain 'date' should print:
  Mon Dec 18 15:00:00 TST 2006
 
For date -u you should see:
  Mon Dec 18 08:00:00 TST 2006

Note, I don't know the correct bymbol for the time in Thailand
so I just stuck in 'TST'.

Re: Dealing with bad blocks on a hard disc

[Marc van Woerkom]

This issue has been covered numerous times in this list - usually about
every 4 to 6 weeks it comes up.  It is also covered in some FAQs somewhere,
maybe in some of the online magazines.   I haven't checked the handbook,
but it wouldn't hurt to have a mention there.
  

I am sorry for that. I did a quick search on freebsd.org and went through
several articles and the handbook. I should have searched the lists as well.


I think there may be some utilities out there that will allow you to
access the disk controller for such things, but I don't know them.
You might check with the disk manufacturer.   Some of them have disk
diagnostics, maintenance and recovery tools available.  But, you need
to assume that is only going to at best let you rescue some remaining
data after you have already moved to a new drive.

  

I do a backup tonight and buy a new hd after christmas.
Thanks for all your replies!

Marc

That depends on what you mean by process state.  The real definition
is in /usr/include/sys/proc.h, but there are now only three states:

enum {
PRS_NEW = 0,/* In creation */
PRS_NORMAL, /* threads can be run. */
PRS_ZOMBIE
} p_state;  /* (j/c) S* process status. */

Maybe you mean the thread state, also described in the same file, but
I doubt it.

There are two other possibilities:

- The information reported by ps(1) in the STAT column.  This is
  described, not surprisingly, in the man page ps(1).

- The information reported by ps(1) in the MWCHAN column.  This is a
  name passed by a part of the kernel when it sleeps, so any process
  with a value in MWCHAN is sleeping.  The names are frequently
  associated with the name of the function doing the sleeping.  In
  general, you need to understand the kernel code to make a lot of
  sense of them.  Still, if you do a 'ps al' you'll see a number of
  names again and again:

  ttyin   Waiting for character input
  select  Waiting for a select() to complete
  waitWaiting for something to happen, possibly time
  limited (>= 1 second)
  nanslp  Waiting for < 1 second.

Maybe we should write up some of these.

Try qemu. Some people on this list (or maybe other FreeBSD lists--can't

Xen is a royal pain, even though it is fast. I tried setting it up once
under Gentoo and it was trying to load a lot of services at boottime,
pulled in custom (Xen) kernel patched sources, etc. Needless to say, the
Xen patched kernel sources was the show stopper, because one never knows
what in the world the patches may do if installed with other patches.
Moreover, the Xen patches may wreak havoc with userland programs (like
Linux does on occasion), etc.

Just my .02.. qemu has a kernel module, but if you don't feel like
tainting the kernel with an alpha feature, their userland(-only) program
is fairly stable from what I have read.

Your success with kqemu probably depends on what architecture you are 
running though, because some things may run solid on i386, but x64, ppc,

Thanks again for your help.

I finally found the - of course very simple - sollution my self. It

I used lftp to copy rm to /bin - and now it works again. Only I wonder

Hi Erik,

one tool you could use is ctorrent.

/usr/ports/net-p2p/ctorrent/
ctorrent -t -u tracker_url -s torrent_name source

Automatic remapping of bad blocks can only happen for *writes*. not reads.

When you are writing, the disk knows what data is supposed to reside in the
block - the data you trying to write - and can transparently write it to
another block instead.
When you encounter a bad block during a read the disk has no way of knowing
what data was supposed to be there and therefore can't transparently remap
the block since that would cause data loss.

(Some RAID controllers are supposed to be able to handle this by
reconstructing the data that was supposed to be in the bad block from the
other disks in the RAID array, and then writing this to the bad block, thus
triggering the disks transparent remapping of bad blocks.)

(If the disk does succeed in reading a block, but only after several tries,
it can of course also remap the block, but unrecoverable reads (which this
seems to be a case of) cannot be handled thus.)

Also check the cables.  It might just be something so simple as a bad cable.

And if you haven't already done so, this is a very good time to start making
backups of everything on that disk. (A bit late most likely, but hopefully
not *too* late.)

That happens automatically on a disk like this one.

> Or what would you recommend?

Try a manufacturer's utility, if you can find one, but generally when
you reach the point where the OS is aware of disk block errors, it is
continuing to lose them at a high (and accelerating) rate.

Also consider the "SMART" utilities, but be prepared to buy a new
disk.

My main recommendation is to get what you can off the disk and
replace it as soon as possible.   Disk failures are progressive.
When one shows up, more are quite sure to follow.

That is probably because it is not really an OS issue.  In modern disks
it happens at the hardware controller level.   Almost all disks nowdays
have spare sectors that the controller maps to automatically when it
detects a bad one.  You do not even see it happening.  Then when you 
finally see bad disk reads/writes reported, it is typically after the
controller has used up all of its spare sectors and can no longer do
any remapping.   It is an indication that there have been some failures
already and more are happening.

This issue has been covered numerous times in this list - usually about
every 4 to 6 weeks it comes up.  It is also covered in some FAQs somewhere,
maybe in some of the online magazines.   I haven't checked the handbook,
but it wouldn't hurt to have a mention there.

I think there may be some utilities out there that will allow you to
access the disk controller for such things, but I don't know them.
You might check with the disk manufacturer.   Some of them have disk
diagnostics, maintenance and recovery tools available.  But, you need
to assume that is only going to at best let you rescue some remaining
data after you have already moved to a new drive.

Note that you are using LaTeX, not TeX.  
Any version of LaTeX should do (if I remember correctly; I don't have
it installed on my booted machines, and I haven't used BibTeX since
the days of LaTeX 2.09).  These days, the print/teTeX port is
the most common way to install TeX and its common utilities.

This would be really big improvement for the FreeBSD mobile users,
since most laptops with Intel Centrino Duo, and Duo 2 as well.

I didn't see any new Centrino laptop comes with Intel 2200BG anymore,
most of them come with Intel Wlan 3945.

Atheros isn't widely deployed in laptops come with Duo and Duo 2.

Now I see laptops with AMD cpus come with broadcom chips, not Atheros too.

If you look to USB Wlan too, few ones use Atheros too.

So FreeBSD guys, are you coming to laptops world since it takes over
in home instead of desktop pcs?

I wish you do so before it's too late.

Try qemu. Some people on this list (or maybe other FreeBSD lists--can't
remember :P), have reported success in using qemu as the host VM.

Xen is a royal pain, even though it is fast. I tried setting it up once
under Gentoo and it was trying to load a lot of services at boottime,
pulled in custom (Xen) kernel patched sources, etc. Needless to say, the
Xen patched kernel sources was the show stopper, because one never knows
what in the world the patches may do if installed with other patches.
Moreover, the Xen patches may wreak havoc with userland programs (like
Linux does on occasion), etc.

Just my .02.. qemu has a kernel module, but if you don't feel like
tainting the kernel with an alpha feature, their userland(-only) program
is fairly stable from what I have read.

Thanks very much. I too have run FreeBSD as a guest OS under various
VMware flavors for years.

My question is whether FreeBSD is a suitable _host_ OS for any virtual
machine environment, preferably with support for SMP, amd64, and guest
OS speed at or close to native hardware speeds.

Thanks again!

You are right, whoever built that machine put all the spare space 
in to /usr (wouldn't be my choice, but...) so you can make use of
that space.

The first thing to do is to figure out what is using the space.
use du(1) for that.
probably something like:  (NOTE: do this as root or single user)
  cd /var
  du -sk *

The most like culprits are /var/mail,  var/spool,  /var/log,  and /var/db
Rather than moving all of /var in to /usr, just move the worst of
those and make symlinks.

Of course you might also want to clean up some of the stuff, for example
if /var/log is taking up all the space, use newsyslog(8) to manage
rotation of logs and clearing of old logs.

But, really your /var is too small so even after you clean up you will
have to move some things.

For example, you can move /var/spool to /usr by:

  cd /var/spool
  tar cpf /usr/spool.tar *
  cd /usr
  mkdir var.spool
  cd var.spool
  tar xpf ../spool.tar
  cd /var
  mv spool old-spool
  ln -s /usr/var.spool spool
Now check things out by doing looking around:   cd /var/spool  should
get you to /usr/var.spool and find all the files in place.  When you
are convinced it is good, then:
  cd /var
  rm -rf old-spool
You might just find some files it refused to rm because flags are
set on them, particularly 'schg'  so you will have to unset those
flags to nuke the files.  
  chflags noschg file_namefor example
Then remove those files by hand.
See chflags(1)

At this point you would have /var/spool actually living in /usr
with no problem.

NOTE that doing the tar to a file and then untarring and also moving 
/var/spool to a different file and checking things first is being a
little more careful(chicken) than absolutely necessary, but I prefer
being safe.   Also, my naming convention (making the directory be
var.spool) helps me keep track of things sort of like using mnemonic
variable names.

This doesn't muck with your partition layout like moving all of /var
in to /usr would.

But, if you really want to move all of /var to /usr and change the
mounts, then use dump/restore as follows:

  cd /usr
  mkdir newvar
  cd newvar
  dump 0af - /var | restore -rf -
  umount /var
  cd /etc
Edit /etc/fstab to remove or comment out the /var line 
  cd /
  rmdir var
  ln -s /usr/newvar var
Check it out - it should work just fine.

Of course, you don't have to use the name 'newvar' for the
directory name in /usr, but it makes it clearer what happened.
  
Now the 260MB in the ad0s1e partition will be essentially unused
for anything unless you mount it as something else.
  
I really think the former solution is a little better, but either 
will work.

NOTE also that a possibly better overall solution that either is to 
completely reinstall FreeBSD from scratch and completely reorganize 
your disk at the same time especially if it is below version 6.1.
Of course, you would want to make complete backups before doing that
so you can put what parts of your data you want to keep back on after
the installation.

But, if you are new to FreeBSD, just moving a couple of things to free
up space in /var will easily give you time to play around and become 
familiar and then you can do the complete re-install later when you 
have a better picture of what you want and after 6.2 RELEASE comes out.

No, I'd installed apache-1.3.37_1 from the package, but that's not the
problem.  No errors at all appear in httpd-error.log since the build.

I've just now tried what should have been step #1, a /phpinfo.php page:
  
which works just fine, so now I can concentrate on finding out what's
wrong with my phpMyAdmin config .. maybe some cruft from earlier.

The weird thing is that fetching /localhost/phpmyadmin/ Mozilla offers,
as mentioned, to save the file "" of type application/x-httpd-php, but
whether I cancel or go ahead and save the file under the chosen random
name - which works fine and is identical to /phpmyadmin/index.php -
absolutely NOTHING gets logged to httpd-access.log, either way .. ?

Anyway, more news (or questions) when I do (or don't) figure it out.

- - run *nix guest OSs at or near native speed

Or what would you recommend?

Funny, I use FreeBSD about 10 years, this is the first time I have

that I had a small struggle. Is this Microsoft doing a old boys network 
with the hardware vendors, or is it just that the hardware vendors are 
too lazy to support open source? On another machine I had to fight with 
the bloody ATI video card. Does not seem fair, I am sure that there are 
more and more Freebsd and linux desktop users out there, why can't the 
vendors just give us a choice.

LSI MegaRAID 1068 mfi(4) 6.1-RELEASE

[nocturnal]

Hi

I'm trying to boot up a Dell PE 860 with what dell claims to be a LSI 
MegaRAID 1068 controller using FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE. I've found listposts 
claiming that this worked as soon as FreeBSD 4.11 using the mpt driver. 
It seems as if the mfi driver is the one to use these days.


I can't get it working though, it constantly says no disks were found. 
This driver should be compiled into GENERIC right? Has anyone else on 
the list tried using this driver for the LSI card?

Unfortunately, I don't think there's any such comprehensive resource.

However,  I would expect that 80% of the time, a google on " freebsd"
will produce enough information to satisfy you.

The other 20% of the time, you'll either need to read the source code or
find a helpful developer to explain.  Don't hesitate to ask on this list
if you come across a state you can't find information on.

Last I heard the only driver for the 3945ABG is the unsupported one by
Damien Bergamini. however this post
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-drivers/2006-December.txt
gives me hope :)
Look for the link for wpi-freebsd.tgz, that should be a driver that
works to some extent.

Jail & nullfs how many

[Albert Shih]

Hi all

I'm starting using jail and I'm using now nullfs (I don't really want use
something like ezjail or other plug&play script, I want understand what I'm
doing before using this tools).

I'm making a /jail/REFERENCE using classic make world etc...
and mounting using nullfs 

/jail/REFERENCE/bin --> /jail/my_jail_ip/bin
/jail/REFERENCE/lib --> /jail/my_jail_ip/lib
/jail/REFERENCE/libexec --> /jail/my_jail_ip/libexec
/jail/REFERENCE/sbin --> /jail/my_jail_ip/sbin
/jail/REFERENCE/usr --> /jail/my_jail_ip/usr
/jail/REFERENCE/var --> /jail/my_jail_ip/var

by using this I'm hopping have just one /jail/REFERENCE to update when I
need to rebuild world.

Well two questions : 

it's the right thing to do ?

How many nullfs I can mount ? Because there are 6 by jail, if 
i'm going to use this many I have 10-20 jail. Can I mounting ~120
nullfs without problems ?

Regards

It's a fairly complex ruleset, but it seems mostly ok.  There are
a few things I'd change, mostly resulting from my own personal
preferences:

  * I don't like hard-coding rule numbers in IPFW rulesets.

  * I like using 127.0.0.1/32 instead of any for loopback interfaces.

  * In general, I prefer much simpler rulesets.

  * I try to avoid a lot of variables/macros, like your $ks, since they
don't really keep things a lot shorter, and when they do they try to
abstract away too much of ipfw's syntax.

  * I don't aggressively filter out ICMP packets.  They are useful for a
lot of things, they are rate-limited by the kernel, and it is
usually silly to block them without a fair amount of knowledge and a
very good reason.

  * I don't deny packets for 'private' networks,like 192.168.0.0/26
because the networks I use with my laptop *ARE* private a lot of the
time.  Having the firewall block too much and cause me problems is
rarely a good way of spending my time.

I would probably start with something like:

:   flush="ipfw -q flush"
:   add="ipfw -q add"
:
:   oif="ath0"
:
:   $flush
:   $add allow all from 127.0.0.1/32 to 127.0.0.1/32 via lo0
:   $add deny  all from 127.0.0.1/32 to any
:   $add deny  all from any  to 127.0.0.1/32
:
:   $add allow icmp from any to any
:
:   $add check-state
:
:   # Allow all outgoing connections.
:   $add allow all from any to any out via $oif setup keep-state
:
:   # Allow *some* incoming connections (only SSH right now).
:   $add allow all from any to any 22 in via $oif setup keep-state
:
:   # Block everything else.
:   $add deny log all from any to any

That's pretty minimal, and you can build on top of it :-)

If you are using DHCP to get an address for your laptop, you may have to
also allow incoming packets from "any" to "255.255.255.255", destined
for UDP port 68, which would make your ruleset:

:   flush="ipfw -q flush"
:   add="ipfw -q add"
:
:   oif="ath0"
:
:   $flush
:   $add allow all from 127.0.0.1/32 to 127.0.0.1/32 via lo0
:   $add deny  all from 127.0.0.1/32 to any
:   $add deny  all from any  to 127.0.0.1/32
:
:   $add allow icmp from any to any
:
:   $add check-state
:
:   # Allow all outgoing connections.
:   $add allow all from any to any out via $oif setup keep-state
:
:   # Allow *some* incoming stuff (only DHCP and SSH right now).
:   $add allow udp from any to

While Ted has a unique personal style of writing, to which I don't
totally subscribe, he is quite right about this one.  There is a reason
that the freebsd-questions list does not require a subscription, and he
got it 100% right.

The list *is* mentioned on the web site as the place to ask general FreeBSD
questions, already :-/

As I wrote elsethread, I don't find the style of Ted's post very nice, but
we should definitely find a way to clarify why this list is open.

The freebsd-questions mailing is is not the same as freebsd-hackers, or
freebsd-rc, or other much more technical lists.  It is being used as a
first contact point, both for technical and non-technical people.  Some of
the less technical posters may find subscribing before posting strange or
even completely incomprehensible.  These users will be lost to FreeBSD, if
we start making a subscription mandatory.  t is for the sake of these,
non-technical, users that the list is kept open to posts for anyone.

To the long-time subscribers of the list, letting any random average Joe
User post, seems silly.  This is mostly a result of seeing posts by people
who are not acquainted at all with FreeBSD, who don't even know that
FreeBSD is not a Linux distribution, or any number of other points which
may be irritating for us long-time FreeBSD users.  This is a 'sacrifice'
which is not totally worthless though.  Let me explain why.

Keeping the list is not as silly as it may initially seem to be.  The list
and its openness serve their purpose quite fine, since they lets newcomers
to FreeBSD ask questions with a minimum of hassle, and receive answers
which are very often characterized by the very same aspects which keep
long-time subscribers still posting here:

  * The answers are usually to the point, correct, technically valid,
complete (even including examples)

  * The answers are from people who are already using FreeBSD, and most of
the time know their stuff

  * The answers start coming in pretty soon after the initial post (this is
a side-effect of having subcribers around the globe, from almost all
timezones)

  * The answers often include pointers to more documentation, to which the
interested new user may refer for more details

All these are qualities which are not strictly related to the openness of
the list.  When combined with the openness of teh list, though, they form
the nucleus of what initially keeps a lot of new users around.

I know it is what kept *me* around, what kept a lot of the FreeBSD users I
personally know around, and I can only guess, but I'm fairly confident that
the same applies to a huge amount of the people who have posted here during
their first baby-steps with FreeBSD.

Re: Legato Client for freeBSD.

[n j]

One is to enable FreeBSD's Linux Compatibility and use Letgato's Linux
client (I suppose they have one?)


I actually tried this. And the client actually works. However, I
haven't found a way to escape Linux compatibility chroot - i.e.
backing up /usr actually backs up /compat/linux/usr. Of course, that
doesn't mean it's impossible, it just means that setting up
FreeBSD-native client proved simpler.

Andrea,
Are you running X in some shape or form on the server, and what's the
last message you receive on the console?

Re: PHP 5 with Apache 1.3

I reinstalled php5-5.2.0 from its package, after having to deinstall

on a 5.5-STABLE system upgrading old ports, mostly from 5.4-R days.

What do I need to do to get Apache to execute mod_php5 on .php files?

Cheers, Ian
  
have you check output from /var/log/httpd-error.log ? it should type 
some php version if the php is working correctly or
could you paste here the log from /var/log/httpd-error.log after you 
restart the apache ( assuming you install apache from port too )

 Jeppe,
Try without the -f and see what the error is. -f (in my book at
 least) usually evaluates to (yes, quiet) in regular files / symlinks
 at least.

Well, try it anyhow though, and then try recreating the symlink after
the fact, just to see if installworld goes through properly.

Also, just out of curiousity (before you unlink the symlink)--what
version of FreeBSD are you upgrading from and what are the current
permissions / ownership for /sys?

My /sys:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls -l / | grep sys
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root wheel11 Dec 17 22:47 sys -> usr/src/sys

URGENT: 6.1/amd64 server hangs

[Andrea Venturoli]

Hello.
A server I manage is locking too frequently.
The behaviour is very strange: almost nothing works, no daemon is 
running, keyboard is ignored, but still the machine will answer pings.


The real problem is that I'm not able to diagnose this, since no message 
is displayed on the console or recorded in the logs and no crash is 
produced. I compiled DDB in, I can press Ctrl-Alt-Esc and drop into it, 
but then again the keyboard won't work, so it's useless.


Although this box features a dual core CPU, I'm running with SMP 
disabled, so to leave this out of the way.
Apart from that, the most unusual things this box has are an amr 
controller (featuring RAID5) and GELI. Are there any known issues with 
these?


How is 6.2 stability right now? Dumping and upgrading is the only thing 
I can think about, though I'm not sure whether this would be an 
improvement...


Any other hint? Any info I should look for and provide?

 bye & Thanks
av.

FreeBSD 6.2-RC1 issues Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi

[Abdullah Al-Marrie]

Hello guys,

First thanks for the hard work to make FreeBSD good for desktop environment.

Here is my case with Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi with the latest bios 2.40

It shares the same mobo with 3100, and 5110

FreeBSD 6.1 CD1 wasn't able to boot at all.

I used FreeBSD 6.2-RC1, then I was able to boot.
booting with acpi disabled crash and reboot the laptop.

So I went ahead, installed the 6.2-RC1, then I upgraded the OS via the
csup to RELENG6, now it runs FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE.

The laptop has AMD Turion x2 64, but I used i386, since the laptop
only has 1.5 GB of ram.

I was able to install x11+KDE via packages.

Here are the issues I face with it now.

1. I can't boot with acpi disabled, it crashes all the time.

2. I can't use my WLAN which is broadcom, I was forced to use an older
drivers, since ndis has problem with reading the latest driver from
broadcom.
Here are the files
http://bb.wearab.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=472&d=1166427326
http://bb.wearab.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=473&d=1166427326

And here is the 78 MB full package for the driver in zip file
ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_3100_5100_5110/driver/802bg_broadcom_v4.10.40.0.zip

Could someone convert the 2 files to a kernel module? please let me know.

4. Bluetooth doesn't work.

5. RealTek chip High Definition Audio System isn't detected, and
doesn't work for sure.

6. The laptop doesn't shutdown or restart, it says disk sync .. then
it displays the uptime, and stays there, I have to press the power
button to switch it off.

Suggestions or hints are welcome.

Best Regards,
