Re: iwi(4) in RELENG_6
Have you tried using the firmware from iwi-firmware-kmod, rather than iwi-firmware. I am using the former on a Thinkpad T42 and it is working ok. -mark ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: iwi(4) in RELENG_6
From: Don Wilde [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, I have. I just did another CVSup, and when I recompiled -kmod it did indeed put a bunch of .ko files in /build/modules, but a) I still get a whole bunch of Can't load firmware complaints, and b) it doesn't work. It goes through the DISCOVER process, but doesn't get any offers it recognizes. I've tried this both with an open DHCP and also with my parameters wired in. Hardware notes: Dell 6100 Inspiron with 2200G iwi. I have heard from another gent who has a 2200G pci card and is having the same problem with STABLE. This all was working two weeks ago. That is, indeed, a drag. b) is bad. We are using different hardware, which I guess could be a factor. When I can boot this thing under FreeBSD (work intervenes at present) I'll post what iwi-firmware-kmod put where. -mark ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 6.x on an IBM T42 laptop
From: Nik Clayton [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've got an IBM T42 laptop that's currently running 5.4, and it's working
nicely at the moment. ACPI works well enough that suspend to RAM works
('zzz'), the audio works, USB devices are recognised, and the battery life's
reasonable (with est enabled).
Is anyone aware of any regressions in laptop functionality going from 5.4 to
6.x?
I've been running 6-STABLE on a T42 for a while and not noticed any
problems in the subjects mentioned. The addition of iwi has made life
a little simpler. I think it is ok to take the leap...

Re: Using /stand/sysinstall for 5-STABLE package installation
Hi, When I installed my system, I used the .iso images of 5.4-STABLE-SNAP006 for a minimal installation and then installed various packages using pkg_add -r, downloading them from its default setting of ftp.freebsd/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/Latest. I would like to use /stand/sysinstall for installing additional packages but its option release name is set to use 5.4-STABLE-SNAP006. This gives an error message saying that it cannot find that distribution on an ftp server. I've tried changing the release name under installation options but nothing I've entered works (e.g., 5.4-STABLE or 5.4-LATESTor RELENG-5). So how do I configure /stand/sysinstall to point to the latest stable version to use it for installing additional packages? Have you tried 5.4-RELEASE? That was the only value that worked for me on an earlier snapshot. -mark ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: 5.4-RC2 kldload snd_driver crashes ums0
I also encountered this on a Thinkpad T42. My workaround was to load the sound module via /boot/loader.conf (i.e. snd_ich_load=YES). -mark ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
