RE: Legacy ethernet cards in FreeBSD
Ok, "seem to have lost support" is about the vaguest thing you could have said. I've killed people for less. I'm too young to die. Sorry for the lack of detail. I should have known better. Please explain in detail how you arrived at the conclusion that the card was no longer supported. Show us the dmesg output from your machine. Explain what you tried to do and what results you observed. Don't just say "it doesn't work." You've not going to help anyone that way. 4.0 detects my card, prints the ethernet address during the probe, and actually transmits data when asked to do so. DHCP configures the card, etc. 4.2 detects the card, but does *not* find its ethernet address and the DHCP probe simply never returns, although the machine responds to keypresses to break the installation. Did you check to see if a pcn0 device was detected? Did you attempt to use it? No. If not, why not? I did not know it was there. SMC EtherEZ ISA Should also work with the ed driver, though you may have to turn off plug and play mode using the SMC EZSetup utility. I will try this. RealTek "TP-Link" PCI If this is a 10mbps card, it should be an NE2000 clone, and will work with the ed driver. If it's a 100Mbps card, it should work with the rl driver. Like I said: it probes, works for a bit, then drops the line and needs a power-cycle. I have two, one of them is available for an individual who wants to hack at it, the other one will serve as a cupholder after I've stomped on it for a bit, otherwise the cups keep falling over. I'll be happy to try out patches for the lnc driver to fix the problem of the Deskpro, or to give remote access to it if you want to work on it. I'd be happier if you told me whether the pcn driver works or not. Will try. Please hold ... Kees Jan You are only young once, but you can stay immature all your life.

New US CVSup mirror
I've been getting some reports lately that our US CVSup mirror sites are increasingly hard to get into. I've just added a new one, cvsup10.FreeBSD.org, which should help matters. There are a couple of additional mirrors in the pipeline, too. This has become possible because we replaced the master server with a more powerful machine that can handle more mirror sites. (Thanks, Yahoo!) If you ever get shut out of a mirror site, check the current listing in the FreeBSD Handbook, at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cvsup.html#CVSUP-MIRRORS You might well find that there are new mirror sites you weren't aware of before.

Re: USB-to-SCSI converter
* Chris Dillon ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [001113 08:22]: Since you can select the LUN and not the ID, maybe they've mapped SCSI ID0:LUN0 to ID0:LUN0 (duh), ID1:LUN0 to ID0:LUN1, ID2:LUN0 to ID0:LUN2, and so on, which would explain why we only see a device at ID0:LUN0 if we aren't looking at the remaining LUNs (are we?). This would mean that you can't use multi-LUN devices with the USB-SCSI converter, but that is much more acceptable than only being able to use ID0 with it. I think this is what they do, as my test with a multi-LUN CD changer which works find as a SCSI device only shows up as one CD-ROM under both Windows and BSD. Time to hit up Microtech support to see if they'll at least admit that this is what their driver does. The question then is if we are to implement this kind of ID-to-LUN mapping in the umass driver, what do we predicate that behaviour on ? -- j. James FitzGibbon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Targetnet.com Inc.

Re: PPPoE w/ nat auto fragmentation hack? (use tcpmssd port)
Dear hackers, What exactly does not work? What does the option -l do? When launched automatically by ppp, tcpmssd doesn't get any of the packets and is useless. When I start it manually from the command line, it works fine. I realize this isn't much in the way of helpful debugging information, and was hoping to further define this: I implemented that "-l" option to log all the packets processed by tcpmssd. I'm not even sure this bug applies to anybody else, which is why I did not seek help or publicize it until now. Anyway, I haven't been able to figure out what the problem is (and am lacking time now). The best I have is this: when launched by ppp, tcpmssd never seems to return from the main select() call. Ruslan, if you feel like an account on the machine where I'm using this could help, just let me know and I will gladly give you one. - Original Message - From: Ruslan Ermilov [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Renaud Waldura [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: FengYue [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 14, 2000 12:40 AM Subject: Re: PPPoE w/ nat auto fragmentation hack?

But you'd have to add new and delete support to the kernel's library. That should be almost trivial. The problem areas definitely include exceptions, some automatic memory allocation (where temporary variables are malloced), large objects appearing on the stack (because the kernel stack is so small).

page fault question
I have been having a great time :-) debugging a device driver, and have run into a really fun way to panic. With one type of traffic, [something] happens and the kernel drops into DDB, just the way I want. Well, actually DDB seems to get trapped in some kind of loop that spews messages faster than a human can read them. When I finally got a piece of a clue, I booted with serial console and captured the following (also an endless loop): Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0x8 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc014ed6b stack pointer = 0x10:0xc02b1360 frame pointer = 0x10:0xc02b1388 code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags= interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = Idle interrupt mask = net tty bio cam kernel: type 12 trap, code=0 Stopped at The PC seems to have died in the DDB, that's odd (or maybe not?) ts7# nm /kernel | grep c014ed c014ed38 T linker_ddb_search_symbol c014edbc T linker_ddb_symbol_values Now looking back at the panic message, it looks like the stack has pushed into the "frame pointer". Is this an actual problem, or just some side effect of the page fault? Should I start spending my time looking for kernel stack hogs in the device driver? I can very easily add code to log ESP EBP; would that be productive? Is there a maximum size for a softc? Maybe I'm accidentally ignoring some "code of the west" and am getting punished for it?

These are directories to be accessed by apache and there may be as many as 40-60 simlinks to the new drive for the data directories. My question is how much of a hit do I take by using this large a number of simlinks? How much processing/memory usage does it eat to traverse a link from one disk top another? Thanks!!

Try use the newest version of /usr/share/examples/drivers/make_device_driver.sh I just added PCI support (but I have't tested it much yet) Hopefully I'll get feedback it it's too radically wrong. I am working on a KLD for a PCI device. My problem is I can't find how to call the probe and attach calls during the load for a PCI device. I have looked in the /usr/src/sys/pci directory and haven't found any KLDs to use as an example. What are the steps I need to take to handle a PCI device in a KLD? Are there any examples I can look out? Oh yeah, I am doing this for a FreeBSD 3.x system (I know, but is needed for this project, it will be ported to 4.x later) - Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message -- __--_|\ Julian Elischer / \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( OZ) World tour 2000 --- X_.---._/ presently in: Budapest v To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Re: What is the cost of a simlink?

These are directories to be accessed by apache and there may be as many as 40-60 simlinks to the new drive for the data directories. My question is how much of a hit do I take by using this large a number of simlinks? How much processing/memory usage does it eat to traverse a link from one disk top another? It's about the same cost as another layer of directory structure. The biggest cost will be disk seeks, but if you have enough memory, that shouldn't happen too often. -- Ben 220 go.ahead.make.my.day ESMTP Postfix To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Moused doesn't reinitialize mouse after removal and reinsertion...
Here's a puzzle for someone who has a little free time... I've got a manual switchbox to switch my mouse, keyboard, and monitor between to computers. It's a manual switchbox, so it doesn't send a constant signal to both systems (like those fancy - and expensive - automatic ones). Here's the problem: When my mouse (actully a trackball, a PS/2 Logitech TrackMan Marble) is unplugged from the system, it ceases to remember how to send a signal to the system (I assume some initialization is being done by moused when it starts up). So, when I switch over to my second system and back over to the FreeBSD one, the cursor doesn't respond to any mouse movement. To fix it I have to kill moused and start it back up. Sort of a pain, albeit not completely unbearable. Anyone have any theories on how we could get moused to a) detect the mouse being unplugged and reinserted and b) reinitialize the mouse after this happens? Here's some fun info type stuff (in case it'll help)... I'm running FreeBSD 4.2-BETA #10 (although I believe the problem existed under FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE too. From dmesg (after a verbose boot): psm0: current command byte:0065 psm: status 00 02 64 psm: status 09 03 c8 psm: status 09 03 c8 psm: status 09 03 c8 psm: data 08 00 00 psm: status 10 00 64 psm: status 00 02 64 psm: data 08 00 00 psm: status 00 02 64 psm0: PS/2 Mouse irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: model Generic PS/2 mouse, device ID 0-00, 3 buttons psm0: config:, flags:, packet size:3 psm0: syncmask:c0, syncbits:00 From rc.conf: moused_flags="" moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_type="auto" moused_enable="YES" I'd greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me! If you need any more info about my system setup, just give me a yell...

Porting Linux to FreeBSD
How different is Linux from FreeBSD when it comes to porting code. Nothing specific just in general, are there major differences or small differences. Assuming same hardware just OS is different. Device driver vs applications. What areas are the gottcha's? Steve B. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

They aren't designed for this sort of hot plugging. I used to think it was OK to do this, but I've had too many keyboard and/or mouse controllers die of the years connected to a mechanical switch to really trust them.
