usb serial controller to donate
hi misc. some time ago i bought a usb to serial controller. after searching the archives and googling a lot, i found, that i want a profilic driven controller and nearly every cheap one should run profilic. although i thought i will be lucky, i got one, which doesn't run as expected (Logilink USB 2.0 Serial Adapter). the cd has, as usual, only mac and windows driver on it. the problems i see are: when i connect to my Soekris 4801 (running -STABLE) from my -CURRENT laptop (dmesg at the end), it drops directly in to ddb and i can't type any input. if i reboot it (power off and on again), it starts as usual and i can see the output but can't do any input on it (e.g. at the boot prompt or login). the faulty device registers as: uplcom0 at uhub1 port 1 Prolific Technology Inc. USB-Serial Controller D rev 1.10/4.00 addr 2 ucom0 at uplcom0 last week i gave another adapter a try, this time from Belkin. i went to there website and they dropped me to one their local retailer with this one: http://www.computeruniverse.net/products/90211762.asp?agent=682 (german computer shop) this controller works fine and gets recognized at this one: uplcom0 at uhub3 port 1 Prolific Technology Inc. USB-Serial Controller rev 1.10/3.00 addr 2 ucom0 at uplcom0 now i can connect and my Soekris doesn't drop into ddb anymore and input is also fine. i tested the LogiLink on a windows box and used the vendor's drivers and hyperterminal and everything works, so this isn't a hardware thing. i am willing to donate this one (with or without the cd). don't know, if it's of interest, but this thing also doesn't work on FreeBSD or fedora (with minicom). Is anyone interested in this piece of hardware? cheers, marc ~ $ dmesg OpenBSD 4.3-current (GENERIC.MP) #0: Tue Jun 3 11:08:37 CEST 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 2145841152 (2046MB) avail mem = 2072039424 (1976MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.4 @ 0xe0010 (68 entries) bios0: vendor LENOVO version 79ETE0WW (2.20 ) date 12/07/2007 bios0: LENOVO 2007QPG acpi0 at bios0: rev 2 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP SSDT ECDT TCPA APIC MCFG HPET SLIC BOOT SSDT SSDT SSDT SSDT acpi0: wakeup devices LID_(S3) SLPB(S3) LURT(S3) DURT(S3) EXP0(S4) EXP1(S4) EXP2(S4) EXP3(S4) PCI1(S4) USB0(S3) USB1(S3) USB2(S3) USB7(S3) HDEF(S4) acpitimer0 at acpi0: 3579545 Hz, 24 bits acpimadt0 at acpi0 addr 0xfee0: PC-AT compat cpu0 at mainbus0: apid 0 (boot processor) cpu0: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz, 1995.29 MHz cpu0: FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,DS-CPL,VMX,EST,TM2,CX16,xTPR,NXE,LONG cpu0: 4MB 64b/line 16-way L2 cache cpu0: apic clock running at 166MHz cpu1 at mainbus0: apid 1 (application processor) cpu1: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz, 1995.00 MHz cpu1: FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,DS-CPL,VMX,EST,TM2,CX16,xTPR,NXE,LONG cpu1: 4MB 64b/line 16-way L2 cache ioapic0 at mainbus0 apid 1 pa 0xfec0, version 20, 24 pins ioapic0: misconfigured as apic 2, remapped to apid 1 acpihpet0 at acpi0: 14318179 Hz acpiprt0 at acpi0: bus 0 (PCI0) acpiprt1 at acpi0: bus 1 (AGP_) acpiprt2 at acpi0: bus 2 (EXP0) acpiprt3 at acpi0: bus 3 (EXP1) acpiprt4 at acpi0: bus 4 (EXP2) acpiprt5 at acpi0: bus 12 (EXP3) acpiprt6 at acpi0: bus 21 (PCI1) acpiec0 at acpi0 acpicpu0 at acpi0: C3, C2 acpicpu1 at acpi0: C3, C2 acpitz0 at acpi0: critical temperature 127 degC acpitz1 at acpi0: critical temperature 99 degC acpibtn0 at acpi0: LID_ acpibtn1 at acpi0: SLPB acpibat0 at acpi0: BAT0 not present acpibat1 at acpi0: BAT1 not present acpiac0 at acpi0: AC unit online acpithinkpad0 at acpi0 acpidock at acpi0 not configured cpu0: unknown Enhanced SpeedStep CPU, msr 0x06130c2506000613 cpu0: using only highest and lowest power states cpu0: Enhanced SpeedStep 1000 MHz (1004 mV): speeds: 2000, 1000 MHz pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 Intel 82945GM Host rev 0x03 ppb0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0 Intel 82945GM PCIE rev 0x03: apic 1 int 16 (irq 11) pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 vga1 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 rev 0x00 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) agp0 at vga1: no integrated graphics azalia0 at pci0 dev 27 function 0 Intel 82801GB HD Audio rev 0x02: apic 1 int 17 (irq 11) azalia0: codec[s]: Analog Devices/0x1981, Conexant/0x2bfa, using Analog Devices/0x1981 audio0 at azalia0 ppb1 at pci0 dev 28 function 0 Intel 82801GB PCIE rev 0x02: apic 1 int 20 (irq 11) pci2 at ppb1 bus 2 em0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 Intel PRO/1000MT (82573L) rev 0x00: apic 1 int 16 (irq 11), address 00:16:41:e3:4a:ff ppb2 at pci0 dev 28 function 1 Intel 82801GB PCIE rev 0x02: apic 1 int 21 (irq 11) pci3 at ppb2 bus 3 wpi0 at pci3 dev 0 function 0 Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG rev

Either cvsup (or cvsync) the *repository* rather than the checkout,
then use local cvs operations against that to update your working tree.
Or just work directly against an anoncvs server.

alix 2c3 bios version
Greetings: I just got a new alix 2c3 board and it came with bios version 0.99 (12/10/07). There is a new version, 0.99b (1/27/08) available. Has anyone experienced problems with 0.99 using OpenBSD? I prefer not to reflash bioses without a reason. Related question: If I need to reflash, I am using a serial connection from a laptop running -current. The upload needs to use xmodem protocol. I found the ~C command in tip to use an external program for upload but I have not found anything in base or ports that will do the xmodem upload. Is there something? My fallback is to use a linux machine with minicom but I wondered if OpenBSD can do this. -- Mark
Re: testing request: pf internals rearrangement
this was not meant to go to the list, and the analysis was off due to a
difference in kernel sources. meanwhile mbalmer went into that bug to
and I found it. It is obvious why nobody ran in to it yet; it is ipv6
only.

Of course, I don't have a Commell MP-541 dual LAN miniPCI card, so YMMV. My best guess is that 0.99 will be perfectly fine for your needs.

Re: remove any unwanted devices from the kernel.
On Fri, 6 Jun 2008 16:50:37 -0700 Scott Learmonth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As someone else who writes code for this fine os would say: removing drivers is pure masturbation. Hah, perfect. As a first foray into BSD I stumbled upon FreeBSD. To make it do what I wanted, step one was to compile a custom kernel. BOOYAH, I got a geek-on. A few months later I had chosen OpenBSD, and have never looked back. Sure, tinkering is what we do in may ways (n00b or dev, computer guts are what we like), and what better tinker-tool than 5 minutes picking drivers and a 3 hour compile? But you know what? GENERIC just works. And the REALLY beautiful thing, is that config just works too for kernel configuration. You can even write your changes to the kernel permanently, saving all that compile time. I'm not versed enough to know if a config modified kernel provides the same, um, savings as a custom kernel if you used it to remove drivers however. Cheers I had an incident with a 4.1+ snapshot where in order to get some customer config to work I needed to build a GENERIC OBSD system from scratch with some patch code. This was only somewhat more complicated than building a custom FreeBSD kernel. The monolithic OBSD build methodology is only good most of the time, and when it isn't, it's a bit of a bear. Dhu
Re: alix 2c3 bios version - SUMMARY
Thanks for all the helpful responses. Here is a summary, for the archives.

There is a new version, 0.99b (1/27/08) available. Has anyone experienced problems with 0.99 using OpenBSD? I prefer not to reflash bioses without a reason. 0.99 works fine with -current as of 08-Jun-2008. I am running it now, as are others. One off-list response reported undesirable results with reflashing through the serial port and recommended reflashing with bootable CF, if necessary. I am sticking with 0.99. Related question: If I need to reflash, I am using a serial connection from a laptop running -current. The upload needs to use xmodem protocol. I found the ~C command in tip to use an external program for upload but I have not found anything in base or ports that will do the xmodem upload. Is there something? My fallback is to use a linux machine with minicom but I wondered if OpenBSD can do this. minicom is in ports (I forgot to look). Also, lrzsz is a smaller program in ports that should work with tip.
4.2 xenocara make build problem
Hi, using 4.2. Today I downloaded the xenocara.tar.gz from ftp.openbsd.org and it seems to have a problem. I untared the source into /usr/src/xenocara, cleaned the /usr/xobj/* dir and set a DESTDIR. As root, I runed make bootstrap (no problem) make obj (no problem) make build (-- problem --) It have problems when compiling /usr/src/xenocara/lib/freetype I can't give you more info because I'm writting this in other working computer. I will paste the output as soon as I can. there is any known problem with this?? Note that I downloaded the source from other servers and get the same file (checked with md5) so its not a corrup xenocara.tar.gz Thanks for all -Jesus

Is minicom's xmodem support tied to Linux? OpenBSD's ports tree has comm/minicom. You're right, of course. I was looking for a standalone xmodem program and forgot to do the obvious and look for minicom. -- Mark
New ix(4) driver for Intel 82598 10Gb Ethernet
Hello, I just imported ix(4), a driver for the Intel 82598EB 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters. It is based on Intel's ixgbe FreeBSD driver, with many local changes for OpenBSD. The driver is fully-operational and survived some long-time tests, I had to work on borrowed hardware from another company since Intel didn't provide us any cards. It is currently not sure how to maintain the driver in the future without having cards in the project. John Ronciak from Intel told me told me that they don't have more cards to give away. It is purely a business case issue; a lot of customer have asked for FreeBSD, they got two cards, but nobody asked for an OpenBSD driver. He told me that they're doing the right for their customers. But of course I could still buy them on the open market. Anyway, have fun with ix(4), it may become more common on the market. Reyk
