Why settle for a square wave? It's not hard to clean that up, and besides...
Wouldn't that bring mayhem and havoc on a scanner (ie, I'm pretty sure that
you your screen would do very unhappy things)? LCD screen? don't know. (or
a system's power supply over long term? hmmm)
As far as the type of batteries, deep cycle marine batteries, whatever. It
doesn't really matter except to say that some types can be fully discharged
and some would be ruined on a full discharge. The health and monitoring
portion of the UPS would have to be designed with those limits in mind (and,
hey... That could be part of the embedded mprocessors job, too... more
options).
Switching power from one source to another is something that I've not had a
lot of luck with, esp with sensitive stuff like a computer's power supply
(touchy). On the other hand clean, dc power in a parallel circuit is as
simple as it gets. Edison had a good idea after all.
Look at the battery as your constant source, and work away from that. Your
secondary source merely compliments the battery. So long as you use
regulators for your "other sources", it will stay "Clean by default." :)
As far as switching power sources from regular charger to something like solar
panels, same concept... Don't switch from-to anything. Keep it constantly
hooked up in parallel with the battery.
Some simple logics could perform circuits acts for the solar panels ("if sun
is good and elec_co's bad , then close..." however you want to hack it.)
Same for dis/associating the charger.
I just need someone to point me in the right direction as far as embedded
mprocessors. I've googled it, and found a few hobby kits, but I'd rather
hear it from someone who deals with stuff like this and can suggest a "start
here." I hate jumping into something only to have to unlearn in order to
learn it right.
WizLayer
PS When I finally get this finished, I'm going to find some way of modifying
the BSD license to apply it and release the whole thing to the public. One
would only have to buy the parts, program, and assemble the thing... Why?
Because UPS prices are a rip-off and some jerk told me I couldn't. :)

If what you're seeing is a graphical display with xterm windows and a clock, it seems to me like it's working exactly the way it's supposed to. It just sounds like you didn't finish following along in chapter 5 of the handbook where it explains that you'll want to install a windows manager you can use. As you'll see in the handbook (still chapter 5), the more popular options are KDE and Gnome, but there are lots of others you'll find in your ports tree. You can learn about the ports tree in the handbook. And you'll probably want a display manager too... Yep, the handbook. It's really very well written. HTH, WizLayer -- Life is better with a BSD.

Speaking of... Just check out your devd.conf manpage, and do a man sysctl and man sysctl.conf. Providing that you have ACPI enabled, you should have the stuff there already. With devd.conf, you can set your action points (alarms, suspend, play "Ice Ice Baby.mp3," shutdown, email someone, dial Mom... Whatever). Just kidding about the Ice part...

I seriously doubt you'll be able to get dhcp client to work that way unless
you apply some really ugly hacks to it. :) ppp uses IPCP. See link for
more details:
http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/IPCP.htm
Nobody on this list can really guess very well at what your setup is. If
you're looking for more specific advice, we need something to work with.
Is this PPOE? Dial-up? Do the logs show anything? What does your ppp.conf
look like? When you ppp manually and connect, are you able to get a
renegotiation with 'add! default HISADDR'? (I'm pretty sure it's a '!' for a
forced renegotiation if_exist, anyway).
I've had my share of brain-dead ISP "techs" too. If it's not on the
flow-chart they follow when they're talking to you, they're completely lost.
It's almost funny. :)

I do it on a regular basis on my experiment boxes... Or are you talking about the whole OS? That would be a bit extreme, I think. I'm using 6.2s right now and am not having any problems with it at all, and I cvsup and portupgrade fairly regular. Before depopulating pkgdb, try installing the portupgrade port, then cvsup, refetch the index file, and run your portupgrade -a. You can list the ports that need upgrading by using the 'portversion | grep ">" | more' command. portupgrade will _only install those listed if you tell it to 'portupgrade -aRrv' If the problem still exists, and linking the file doesn't work, then mayhaps a reinstall of all the ports is necessary (I just don't see how unless you've specifically done something in your build options that put a ripple in the carpet).

Thanks. For the graphics, find out what graphics chipset your laptop uses, and compare that to the list of supported graphics chipsets. You can find that list at xorg's website. For the wifi, see the all-knowing handbook. It will lead you to the ath manpage and the wi manpage. From there, you'll find links to supported wifi chipsets from those drivers. Then there is the ndis option, where you can wrap windows drivers, install the resulting module, and keep your fingers twisted... It's all in the handbook, and you'll want to read the ndis man page as well. Good luck. WizLayer -- Life is better with a BSD. For more info, www.bsd.org. pgpBYzPcpVkQm.pgp Description: PGP signature

I believe that by default, portmanager doesn't update dependencies more than a depth of 1 (maybe two?) unless you use the -p flag. Then it updates dependencies all the way back? A quick 'man portmanager' should verify this as I don't have it installed anymore. HTH, WizLayer -- Life is better with a BSD. For more info, www.bsd.org. pgplrcsJ7Grv5.pgp Description: PGP signature
802.11a/b/g/n listed at atheros
Just a question Browsing though messages, doing some googling, I came across the mis-linked page from the ath driver man page. So there's the list of cards... Next question (and yes I've read the handbook)... The handbook states that it supports 802.11a/b/g. Well, in that list of cards at atheros.com, I found several cards listed as 802.11n (backwards compabible, of course). My question is this. How safe would it be to assume that the ath driver would use this (n standard) card as an 802.11g? Furthermore, would the native 802.11 layer be the only thing holding the card back? IOW, when the layer is updated to 802.11n, would the card then be fully functional? This has been somewhat of a learning curve, so forgive me if the questions seems foolish. Two weeks ago, I knew nothing about how wireless worked (I've only had to set them up on windows boxes before. What can I say? :) ). So should I wait to buy the card or should I find something limited to the g spec? Thanks, WizLayer ---> Life is better with a BSD.

Belkin N1 pccard driver/setup on 6.2.stable
Greets, I've recently installed 6.2 Stable on a Compaq Evo N610c, and am running into some brick walls. Was wondering if anyone is sucessfully using a Belkin N1 wireless card (native BSD driver or ndis, doesn't matter to me so long as it works). Here is the relevant dmesg as pertains to card: cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0xe0 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=1 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=1 cardbus0: at device 0.0 (no driver attached) With the ndis-generated driver loaded, I get the following: ndis0: mem 0x8800-0x8800,0x8801-0x8801 irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0 NDIS: open file /compat/ndis/cb8350.bin failed: 2 ndis0: Ethernet address: So the error is there, but ifconfig shows the card: # ifconfig ndis0 ndis0: flags=8802 mtu 1500 ether media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid "" channel 1 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 bmiss 7 protmode CTS But when I, # ifconfig ndis0 up scan ifconfig: unable to get scan results even though the lights on the card light up.

You can specify IPs by MAC, though. Then if you're wanting to keep specific MACs from connecting at all, add a drop quick rule to pf. I haven't tried it, but if you assign all desired MACs an IP, and leave none to spare, then how would dhcpd react (would it fill screen with errors or would it simply deny the additional requests)?

HTML mail - hypatheticaly speaking, of course...
I know this doesn't particularly pertain to FreeBSD, but I'm not sure where I can ask... I started a while back on a set of filters to convert html, multipart, alternative email (any email containing HTML) to an "alternative" form of HTML. From there, my intention was to convert it right back to HTML and reintroduce the HTML part back into the email before sending it on. (part of my "mail gateway" project)... I found that trying to create the filters was a severe pain in the arse because of the sloppyness that HTML allows (endless variances in the ways different composers produce it). So as far as writing the filters, I've rm'd the project. I still think the idea behind it could work, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Mail traffic as follows: ISP <---> OBSD <---> FBSD <---> 2 desktops OBSD- firewall/gateway FBSD- somewhat of a mixed bag of projects, but includes an in-house mail server (sendmail/procmail/SpamAssassin/ClamAV) with relaying limited to the two desktops. 2 desktops - FreeBSD, WinXP Could I perhaps filter out useless/malicious code by converting the html to pdf/latex/whatever and then convert it back to html? Any suggestions welcome. And by the way... Personally, I prefer plain ol' text, so I don't want to hear it... However, I don't see why there can't be a way for anyone to have their cake and eat it too (IE, my girlfriend wants HTML. I'm not willing to fix her box everytime I turn around. There's got to be a server-side solution - this my compromise! :) ).

If there was a command= (could be, but I'm relatively new to doing the automated install stuff), it's not mentioned in the example install.cfgs I've seen.

Sorry :) AP, Outside of running your own cvsup service on your LAN (which still wouldn't include distfiles), there are just too many factors involved in what you are proposing... and obvious instance being, station A may/may not want/need certain flags involved with it's build whereas station B would. I had a cvsup service on my fileserver for a little while (not practical for me, but I wanted the learn). Outside of setting up something like that, I just don't see how it could be practical (esp if it's just for two boxes). Of course, you could set your boxes up to share the distfiles.

I'm not sure if you can disable loader.conf during boot (would be a cool thing to know, though).

I'm under the impression that when a user clients sshd, s/he still can't go beyong the boundaries of his/her existing account on the server.
