802.11h
Hello I'd like to know what the current status of DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) and TPC (Transmit Power Control) under FreeBSD is. Any way to build an accesspoint complying to 802.11h with FreeBSD? Without 802.11h, Germany allows only 13 dBm trasmit power, which is not really much, especially on 5 Ghz. -- Fridtjof Busse ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Great, thanks, that works for me as well.
I also found out it works if the stick is plugged in at boot time.
After all, it looks like a bug to me, at least I never had any problems
with the stick (Dell Memory Key) on Linux.
Is there already a report about this (didn't find anything at a first
glance)? Is it worth a bugreport?
BTW: Changing USB_PORT_POWERUP_DELAY to 1000 in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/
usb.h didn't help. Maybe something else I could try?

As I've already written: da0s1 is correct, but it only appears if I run
'mount_msdosfs /dev/da0 /mnt && umount /mnt' before.
Otherwise there's only /dev/da0, nothing else. Then I can mount
/dev/da0s1.
I'd just like to know how I can mount da0s1 without having to mount the
device itself first. The partition is there and works fine under Linux
and FreeBSD, but FreeBSD doesn't "see" it at first. camcontrol lists the
device as soon as I plug it in ('scbus 1 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da0)'),
but da0s1 won't appear before I use the above "workaround".

Mounting USB-stick

Package behaves the same as the port (I cimpiled after the package wouldn't work, no special options).

Firefox won't start
Hi I just installed FreeBSD 5.4RC, everything works so fine. Just firefox won't work (running xfce), neither the package nor the port. I can only start it as root, under a normal user nothing happens at all. /usr/X11R6/bin/firefox quits after a second and no firefox. How can I fix this?

xine and arts
Hi I recently switched from linux to FreeBSD and now I'm experiencing a problem with xine (from ports) under KDE (from packages) on FreeBSD 5.2: If xine uses arts (OSS works fine) for audio-output, it doesn't terminate correctly. Even after I closed the xine-window, the process still runs and consumes CPU. I have to kill it with 'kill -9' although ps marks it as runnable. I contacted the xine-team, but they don't have anyone to check/reproduce this since their BSD-guy doesn't run arts/KDE. arts-output works fine for other applications (noatun, mplayer etc.), so it's not a general problem. Could maybe anyone of you verify this?
