Problem report rejected
I sent a problem report using send-pr this evening. Later tonight I was notified by my local MAILER-DAEMON, telling me the message I sent (actually, my host) was rejected, excerpted as follows: ** ** THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY ** ** YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE ** ** The original message was received at Mon, 25 Jul 2005 17:54:57 +0800 (CST) from localhost [127.0.0.1] - Transcript of session follows - ... while talking to mx1.freebsd.org.: >>> DATA <<< 450 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname, [60.26.7.157] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Deferred: 450 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname, [60.26.7.157] <<< 554 Error: no valid recipients Warning: message still undelivered after 4 hours Will keep trying until message is 5 days old I realized it was an anti-spam measure. Although the notification said I should wait for another 5 days, I don't see much hope that the message will be accepted this way. I googled for "freebsd 450 client host rejected" and found a topic "Freebsd list rejects mail", which was posted in this mailing list later 2003. But the solution didn't seem to be quite suitable for me. I'm an ADSL subscriber, and I have dynamic IP addresses, and my ISP won't serve me a DNS entry. Frankly speaking, I do not intend to serve SMTP on my machine currently, and I enable sendmail only for convenience for applications like send-pr. I had a carbon copy of the PR message sent to, and received by, my mailbox at GMail. May I, if fortunately enough, forward my copy at GMail to freebsd.org to submit the problem report?

Re: What does 'file a PR' mean?
I've got the clue from Anthony's reply to my Holtek subject. Sorry for troubling you. Thanks!

Re: Holtek HT80232 NIC unrecognized on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE
Thank you!
I tried setting flags and/or removing hints for ed(4) but it didn't
work. I get the idea from /boot/device.hints that, perhaps not quite
accurately, hints work more with ISA. But my NIC actually belongs to
the PCI family.
The last thing I tried before going mad saved me. :)
I took a peek into the source of the NIC drivers. In
/usr/src/sys/dev/ed/, there was a file named 'if_ed_pci.c', where I
found a table to edit. The table was just located in the middle of the
file. It read
static struct _pcsid
{
uint32_ttype;
const char *desc;
} pci_ids[] =
{
{ 0x802910ec, "NE2000 PCI Ethernet (RealTek 8029)"},
{ 0x50004a14, "NE2000 PCI Ethernet (NetVin 5000)" },
{ 0x09401050, "NE2000 PCI Ethernet (ProLAN)" },
{ 0x140111f6, "NE2000 PCI Ethernet (Compex)" },
{ 0x30008e2e, "NE2000 PCI Ethernet (KTI)" },
{ 0x19808c4a, "NE2000 PCI Ethernet (Winbond W89C940)" },
{ 0x0e3410bd, "NE2000 PCI Ethernet (Surecom NE-34)" },
{ 0x09261106, "NE2000 PCI Ethernet (VIA VT86C926)"},
{ 0x, NULL}
};
With every product name preceded by its product ID and vendor ID, it
was self-explanatory enough. So I inserted a line for my card, which
read
{ 0x005812c3, "NE2000 PCI Ethernet (Holtek HT80232)" },
Finally, I rebuilt the kernel with a dynamic loaded ed(4) driver
(if_ed.ko), which SUCCESSFULLY recognized my NIC.
Hooray!
Though without trial, I believe a kernel statically including the
modified ed(4) would also work. However, I still wonder if there is
some other way by which I don't have to edit the source.

Holtek HT80232 NIC unrecognized on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE
My ethernet adapter's chip is Holtek's HT80232. It seems to be not recognized by the GENERIC kernel or any if_*.ko module. I looked for its driver for FreeBSD. Googling "holtek" "ht80232" "freebsd", I was shown some clues that FreeBSD seemed to support this chip. The clue was found in /usr/src/share/misc/pci_vendors, where it said 12C3Holtek Microelectronics Inc. 0058HT80232 LAN Adapter (NE2000-compatible) 5598HT80229 Ethernet Adapter (NE2000-compatible) Later, I found that the driver ed(4) supported NE2000 NICs, and, it was included in the GENERIC kernel. But when the machine booting with GENERIC, the card was not attatched with that driver or even any other driver. My dmesg(1) is excerpted below: pcib2: at device 30.0 on pci0 pcib2: secondary bus 2 pcib2: subordinate bus 2 pcib2: I/O decode0xc000-0xcfff pcib2: memory decode 0xee00-0xefff pcib2: prefetched decode 0xfff0-0xf pcib2: Subtractively decoded bridge.

Then, I discovered ed.0 was disabled in /boot/driver.hints, so I modified that file like this: # hint.ed.0.at="isa" # hint.ed.0.disabled="1" # hint.ed.0.port="0x280" # hint.ed.0.irq="10" # hint.ed.0.maddr="0xd8000" hint.ed.0.at="pci" However, this didn't work either. Could somebody give me some suggestions on what I should read or where I should check next?

Unable to fetch the gnome2-2.10.2 meta-port package
When I found the gnome2-lite-2.10.2 in the ports collection here, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=%5Egnome2-lite&stype=name&release=4-STABLE%2Fi386 or the gnome2-2.10.2 meta-port here, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=%5Egnome2-2.10.2&stype=name&release=4-STABLE%2Fi386 I cannot download the corresponding package linked on either page. I also looked, in a few mirror sites, e.g., ftp.cn.freebsd.org, ftp2.tw.freebsd.org, ftp.jp.freebsd.org, for gnome2* but the only result was gnome2-office-2.10.1.tgz. I'm using a 4.11-RELEASE of FreeBSD. I managed to install gnome2-2.10.2 using packages from the GNOME Tinderbox a few days ago. The gnome2-2.10.2 meta-port package can be found on the Tinderbox site. But due to the constraints of my disk space, I would like to install gnome2-lite-2.10.2 this time. I didn't find this lite package on the Tinderbox site. By the way, I really don't want to make gnome2 from the port. Could someone show me some way to get or make this gnome2-lite-2.10.2 meta-port package?
