hi thomas,

there was some breakage which was fixed in rev 1.26 of group.c - please
try the next snapshot, or build your own with -current.

bah, no wonder.

Could be an entirely unrelated issue, but I have an Atheros AR5213
PCMCIA wireless card that exhibits the same behavior. I get random,

won't transmit worth a damn. I notice it most over ssh sessions. It's

cwm(1) with "sticky yes" dies

2009-05-19 Thread Thomas Pfaff
cwm(1) keeps dying with various _group messages after I installed
the May 18th snapshot for amd64.

If "sticky yes" is set in ~/.cwmrc then as soon as I open a window
(say an xterm) it dies with the following message:

  cwm: _group_add: a ctx is NULL

If I don't set this option then cwm(1) does not crash when I open
up an xterm, but if I try to add it to a group it dies with:

  cwm: _group_remove: a ctx is NULL

If I first select a group using C-M-[n] then it works fine for
both cases.  Seems it is trying to add a window to a group that
does not yet exist.

I've not had the time to dig into the code yet, but if anyone
want to patch me up, I'm ready to do some testing.

Although not the original poster, and this is not his problem, I had a
need to set an interface to PROMISC and I used tcpdump fxp0 host 1.1.1.1
to accomplish it which seemed a kludge.

I was testing some point to mulit-point wireless bridges.  We ended up
being able to load test 7 clients from one laptop, and could scale it
further but ran out of places to mount the client equipment.

Setup is like this:
Iperf endpoint & DHCP server
Switch
AP
Wireless Links
Multiple Clients
Switch (with vlans)
OpenBSD Laptop to Trunk port on switch


So, I did something like this to create vlans for the number of clients I 
want to test:
local _count=3
local _start=1
for _v in `jot $_count $(( $_start + 100 ))`; do 
echo Start vlan$_v
_lladdr="lladdr 00:11:22`echo $_v | sed -e 's/\(.\)/:0\1/g'`"
ifconfig vlan$_v vlandev $_vlandev $_lladdr
dhclient vlan$_v &
done

The lladdr change is because the DHCP server will not hand out multiple
addresses if the vlans have the same MAC.

The switch with vlans is configured as such:

interface FastEthernet0/1
 switchport access vlan 101
!
interface FastEthernet0/2
 switchport access vlan 102
!
...
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
 switchport mode trunk
!

The laptop is plugged into the gigabit port on the switch, the different
pieces of client equipment are plugged into the different FastEthernet
ports.

Then I run iperf simultaneously, bound to each vlan with an IP.

#!/bin/sh
local _host=iperf.server
for _int in `ifconfig vlan 2>/dev/null |
awk '/^vlan/ { sub(":","",$1); print $1 }' |
sort`; do

local _ip=`ifconfig $_int | awk '/inet / { print $2 }'`
local _last=`echo $_int | sed -e 's/^.*\(..\)$/\1/'`
local _port=$(( $_last + 5000 ))

if [ ! -z $_ip ]; then
   iperf -B $_ip -p $_port -c $_host $@ | {
local _line
while read _line; do
echo $_int: $_line
done
} &
fi
done
wait

Re: promiscuous mode

2009-05-19 Thread Fortunato
Grazie,

For some reason when I put all the vr interfaces in the bridge at first, there 
was no forwarding. (I did not verify nor know about the PROMISC settings at the 
time.) After much tinkering, it works and brconfig does set the interfaces on 
PROMISC. 

Thanks to all,

The interfaces are put into promiscuous mode automatically when
there's something that needs them to be.  Otherwise, it's a waste of
CPU time to receive packets that the network stack is simply going to
otherwise discard.

It sounds like you want to setup a bridge(4).  Check the bridgename.if

promiscuous mode

2009-05-19 Thread Fortunato
Hello all,

I've looked over the ifconfig man page and can't find a way to set a specific 
interface to PROMISC mode on 4.4, for example:

  vr0: flags=8843 mtu 1500

Here's another example of that this possible:

  sis0: flags=8943 mtu 1500

Is there a way to set the flags to PROMISC for an interface?

A good reference would work.

NO! This is very WRONG!

You should only run the prime versions (10 x version must be prime).
Obviously, apart from OpenBSD 0.2, only odd-numbered versions are
prime, so DO NOT FOLLOW YOUR COWORKERS LEAD !!!

Run 4.3 now and wait for 4.7 ! You know it makes sense ! The
developers would only release prime numbered versions to the general
public, why have it any other way !?


In reality, it is much simpler. Only the even-numbered versions are really 
suitable as Christmas gifts. Surprised? The odd-numbered versions are all 
obsolete by Christmas.

Or use Pi. Since the Borwein-Beiley-Plouffe equation we can compute any Pi 
decimal anywhere anyplace in Pi without calculating the previous decimals, and 
it is a known scientific fact that every OpenBSD that came and will come until 
the universe becomes a silent, cold and dark place, is contained inside Pi.

Perhaps he was thinking of the venerable Linux kernel numering scheme.
OpenBSD isn't like that. Ideally you should upgrade every six months to
the newest release.

The only reason I can think to skip every other release is that releases
continue to be supported for a year, so you *can* upgrade only once each
year and still get errata patches. However, upgrading is so simple that
doing so twice each year is not a burden.

Maybe he's lazy and does not want to upgrade every 6 months but only

Upgrade with every release. It takes very little time and is worth the

performance difference is more than huge, I already told you it is
more than twice as fast as it used to be.

but it is not just performance. pf on all other OSes is incomplete,
ancient, and badly integrated. it is good enough as starter drug, but
you'll want the real thing soon.

Unlike the western governments who don't give a shit about anyone or
anything as long as the super elite bankers are feeding them... As a British

western idiots who patent wonton balls.
