Attaching via usb in the proper mode should attach the umodem device which you can then use the published serial device with the userland ppp(8). Defining the correct section name for tethering can be a little daunting however. Google for things like 'telstra GSM ppp.conf' or such and then you just have to convert any linux scripts you find into freebsd ppp.conf. If you're lucky you may find freebsd specific configurations. Or, someone on the list may have one to share. - -Mark -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkzO0fEACgkQrDN5kXnx8ybfHwCffDLttNzAL8g1kUxhYbYv1/Z+ 9fEAnjqr0IT7BU1+T2zSvQR82LnLp+js =8Res -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

You can try the following ( I believe this is in 8-STABLE ) echo 'hw.mca.enabled="1"' >> /boot/loader.conf and reboot.

I'm running two single core 252's on it, and I haven't run amd64 on it, but it should be fine. I've running 32bit kernels/world on it just great on the 105 (not E) bios. nfe0 and 1 work great, even the on-board raid works: ar0: 238475MB status: READY ar0: disk0 READY (master) using ad6 at ata3-master ar0: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad4 at ata2-master tracking 8-current on it presently. However, I don't use any video in it at all, only the serial console. So I can't attest to that. -- Mark Atkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] (!wired)?(coffee++):(wired); ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: arp messages: Why is this happening?
This is probably a DHCP network? This would happen if a client gets a new DHCP assigned IP address, instead of it's old one, and before the freebsd boxes' ARP cache expired for that machine. Usually this only happens with: - broken DHCP clients (not requesting it's old ip back upon reboot). - broken DHCP servers (not maintaining lease state properly to assign clients their old addresses) - tight DHCP address spaces (ie. the DHCP server must reuse previously leased IP addresses to accomodate new DISCOVERS). or a combination of the above. Either that or you have a whole bunch of machines that use gratuitous ARP to advertise the new interfaces in a failover situation.
