RE: How to troubleshoot slow network performance with Realtek 8169s?

On 7/3/05, Ted Mittelstaedt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The Realtek is a cheap adapter. You can try hard-coding the media type to see what happens, but the fact remains this is nowhere near as good a card as the 82801B. As a result of this there hasn't been that much attention to driver optimizations, you can review the work here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/re/if_re.c If playing around with the media type doesen't fix it you can try a send-pr but your best off just pulling the card and replacing it with another Intel, then mailing the card to one of the driver developers. Maybe in 6 months to a year you might see a faster driver in FreeBSD - or maybe not. Yeah, I know the 8169s isn't the flashest card in the universe and I don't mind donating a card or two to the developers, but with further testing -- assuming iperf isn't lying -- it seems the driver is OK and there's something happening further up the chain that I don't understand yet. What's weird is that with both 100 and 1000Mbit/s connections, the max speed is a quarter of the link speed when using applications such as ftp for transferring files. With iperf, I see 92Mbit/s on 100Mbit/s and 400-640Mbit/s on 1000mbit/s connections depending on the direction. This isn't weird at all. It is a driver issue. Remember I said the driver hasn't been optimized. The driver could be letting the card seize the PCI bus for an inordinate amount of time or some such. This could also be an interaction with the card, the driver, and some bios setting of your motherboard. This could be, for example, not allowing enough cpu time for a higher-overhead program like FTP to run at full speed, while allowing a lower overhead program like iperf, enough time to run at full blast. I have seen issues like this before and they have almost always been solved by swapping hardware. I have in fact swapped hardware that acted up in one machine to a different machine that had a different motherboard, same FreeBSD versions on both systems, and that hardware became rock-solid in the new motherboard. Frankly it all depends on what you want to do. If this is a production system you are going to need it online and you can't waste the time to screw around with it - in that case you know the Intel chipset works well in that motherboard, so replace the Realtek. If however this is a fun-n-games system then keep the Realtek in there and file a send-pr and work it that way.

FreeBSD 4.11 IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel problem
Hi List, I want to establish an IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel to my ISP. After some hours trying i got myself acounts at HE and XS26 for testing and they work. My Setup is FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE with ip(6)fw (stateful) and natd running. My ISP gave the appended setup information which is for Debian Linux (which i've never used). The IPv4 endpoints are 217.197.85.214(me) and 192.109.42.23(ISP) the IPv6 endpoints are 2001:bf0:c00c::c00c:0002:2(me) and 2001:bf0:c00c::c00c:0002:1(ISP). I asked my ISP for support but they don't know the way for FreeBSD and they tell me the tunnel is definitely working. I tried doing the following but this and several other approaches did not yield anything : zwelf:~# ifconfig gif0 create tunnel 217.197.85.214 192.109.42.23 up zwelf:~# ifconfig gif0 inet6 alias 2001:bf0:c00c::c00c:0002:2 zwelf:~# ping6 ff02::1%gif0 PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fe80::250:bfff:fe58:6c75%gif0 -- ff02::1%gif0 16 bytes from fe80::250:bfff:fe58:6c75%gif0, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=0.746 ms 16 bytes from fe80::250:bfff:fe58:6c75%gif0, icmp_seq=1 hlim=64 time=0.422 ms 16 bytes from fe80::250:bfff:fe58:6c75%gif0, icmp_seq=2 hlim=64 time=0.427 ms ^C --- ff02::1%gif0 ping6 statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/std-dev = 0.422/0.532/0.746/0.152 ms Thanks for reading, any comments appreciated Leon /* /etc/network/interfaces for a Debian system */ auto zwelf6 iface zwelf6 inet6 v4tunnel address 2001:bf0:c00c::c00c:0002:2 netmask 112 local 217.197.85.214 endpoint 192.109.42.23 ttl 64 up ip tunnel change zwelf6 ttl 64 up echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding up ip -6 route add2001::/3 dev zwelf6 down ip -6 route delete 2001::/3 dev zwelf6 /* full ifconfig */ rl0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=40POLLING inet 192.168.10.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.10.255 inet6 fe80::250:bfff:fe58:6c75%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:50:bf:58:6c:75 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active rl1: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 options=40POLLING inet6 fe80::230:84ff:fe0b:15d4%rl1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 ether 00:30:84:0b:15:d4 media: Ethernet 10baseT/UTP status: active lp0: flags=8851UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 ppp0: flags=8010POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST mtu 552 tun0: flags=8051UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1492 inet 217.197.85.214 -- 192.109.42.172 netmask 0x inet6 fe80::250:bfff:fe58:6c75%tun0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7 Opened by PID 70 gif0: flags=8051UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 1280 tunnel inet 217.197.85.214 -- 192.109.42.23 inet6 fe80::250:bfff:fe58:6c75%gif0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x8 inet6 2001:bf0:c00c::c00c:2:2 prefixlen 64 -- gnupg key ID: 9B820836 Fingerprint: 6081 8F41 8FEC 0D69 DB98 F014 0FD4 B47D 9B82 0836 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, but your original post wasn't to tell the poster to give up on FreeBSD and go back to Linux so he can study and gain experience. It was, in fact, a post giving an example in support of the anti-Beastie feeling of the original poster. In other words you were trying to say the original poster actually has a point about Beastie frightening away some people. In short, you were lending credibility to the absolutely rediculous proposition that the FreeBSD community should pay one whit of attention to the anti-Beastie arguments. And now, when I brought up how this is a bad thing for a perfectly legitimate technical reason that you cannot argue against - you are now trying to twist around your original post so that instead of it being about supporting the O.P.s rediculous point, now it's all about cross-training on a different OS. I don't think so. My church, First Presbyterian Church of Portland, OR uses several FreeBSD servers for their web/mail/fileserving needs. They also use Macs running MacOS X almost exclusively, and MacOS X was based partly on FreeBSD.

I suppose that in your view, my church (http://www.fpcpdx.org) is less religious than you are. I feel that you have completely missed the entire thrust of Jesus's message. No, no, not at all. I am an atheist trying to help a group of religious men. Why do you keep saying religious men? If they have a religion that they are identifying that strongly with, you are disrespecting them by not referring to them by the proper name of the religion. Why can't you say Fundamentalist Christians or Moslems or some such? Do they refer to themselves as religious men when people ask them what faith they are? Hmm, haa - maybe I should refer to you as an 'unreligious man' instead of an Atheist? ;-) It is capitalized, by the way. I don't want to discuss with them how exactly their devil should look, does it have red skin, horns, pointy tails etc or not (perhaps for the same reason why I don't discuss with them or anybody else, including readers of this thread, that there is actually no God or ethernal soul at all). No one is asking you to do so here. I just want to help them find an inexpensive configuration for their first computer. you already have one. FreeBSD. They (a) don't know English enough to understand the difference between demon and daemon and (b) do feel that the picture of FreeBSD mascot is related to their religion. This makes it impossible to install FreeBSD on their machine. Well, I think your dancing around the issue. Why don't you simply tell them I know FreeBSD and I don't know Linux, and FreeBSD is what I install - take it or leave it. Certainly you couldn't possibly care what their religious opinion of you is - your an Atheist, remember. Well, you can install what you want, but in addressing the point you were originally supporting with your first post (rather than this clumsy attempt at remaking this thread into a cross-training on Ubuntu is gaining experience, which was never the original point from you or the O.P.) I will leave you with this to think about. I attend the Presbyterian church most Sundays, and contribute a good deal of money and time to it - yet I don't particularly consider myself a Christian, at least not the way that most people in that church would probably define one. There's large chunks of the doctorine I frankly consider to be total bunk. For example, the concept of the virgin birth is rediculous - based on the time and social mores of when it allegedly happened, an unmarried woman would be murdered if found pregnant - quite obviously unmarried woman would do and say anything to explain away a pregnancy.

dhclient.conf for wireless interface
Hi,
I am trying to configure dhclient to associate with the correct
accesspoint, I use FreeBSD Current with the new dhclient ported from
OpenBSD.
The examples I can find mentions that I should create an entry in my
dhclient.conf like this:
interface ath0 {
media ssid AP1 mode 11g, ssid AP2 mode 11g;
}
and dhclient will then first try to associate with AP1 and then AP2.
The problem is that with that setup dhclient enters into an aparently
infinite loop bringing up and down the interface, until I break it. I
have to manually run 'ifconfig ssid AP1 mode 11g' first.
Can anyone point me to the correct manpage for configuring dhclient?
This is not covered in the dhclient.conf(5) dhclient(8) ifconfig(8) or
ath(4) man-pages.
I have a 3Com wireless NIC, broadcom AP, my dhcp server is isc-dhcp v.3
running on FBSD 5.4. I usually get associated with my neighbours 3Com AP
running with a default setup.
Thanks, Erik

Sorry if this repeats something someone else has said (I admit I did not read every message in this thread), but it strikes me that folks are trying to have it both ways with Beastie: Yes, he's a daemon, not a demon, but he also has devil horns and a tail. Tennis shoes notwithstanding, he *does* look devilish. And that fork in his hand (yes, we all know what the fork is), sure looks devilish, too. The point is that it's not surprising that those who are offended, or choose to be offended for whatever reason, are not persuaded by the daemon versus demon language. Don Tyson Don, I agree. It is not surprising that people choose to be offended by the image. People choose to be offended by whatever they choose. We make software choices based upon popularity, esthetics, availability, and even religious conviction - that is a personal choice, and I'm pleased to support such personal choice. But those who evangalize for or against a software (or other individual choice) based upon personal religious conviction are worthy of contempt - not education, not understanding, not even forgiveness, just contempt. I disagree with the earlier claim that this was ever a polite question. This has always been an insidious attempt by outsiders and newcomers to influence the direction and even the history of some of the most important players in the open-source community, since the question easily applies to all *nix systems. I grudginly accept that those who ask the question may not even realize what they are doing, but I'd wager that most evangelicals don't realize the impact of what they do, either - that still doesn't make it polite, innocent, or in any way acceptable. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Linux move to FreeBSD (Beastie vs Penguin)
Old Chucky replied to the following I posted: As I stated earlier...I'm rather new to BSD...but one of the reasons I changed fromn Linux - bsd was merly the fact that I thought the penguin was more evil than Beasty. Then again...that is just me. ;) This was his reply... I cannot really believe that the above response, with it's obvious self-inconsistencies, was done seriously. On the off chance that perhaps it was, ask yourself, would you really WANT a person who believes that a Penguin logo in and of itself constitutes a good reason to switch, along with us in FreeBSD? I would be embarrassed to admit that such a person is an associate of mine, wouldn't you?. Let me think about it...mmm...done. Any Free OS is there for anyone to use. Agreed. Thus you don;t have to be associated with anyone else. Neither do I have to be associated with you...etc...pun intended. For me to post a serious replie about the fact that the penguin is more evil than beastie...I'm sure I got the right (as it is my oppinion). Eventhough I replied in the same manner as I read the question to be. Silly! For any one to waste their time on replying to this fight over a demon, daemon or demonic penguin would be ... Silly...so that is why I posted. I would rather see this thread die out and see one as yourself (Chucky old pal) to reply to a previous question I posted about Multiple Simultaneous Users on One PC.

grep ':' Makefile ...comes pretty close.
Another reader suggested I cat the file... I take it the answer is no.
The answer is it's probably not useful.
Make uses implied rules for suffix transformations, so for example there is an
implied target for foo.o which depends on foo.c, which looks something like:
.c.o:
${CC} ${CFLAGS} -c ${.IMPSRC}
These rules represent a few hundred lines worth of build rules which could be
applied to any file as needed in order to build things without having these
rules actually specified in the Makefile itself.
Specifically I am looking for a quick way to see the make targets as
'make' would accept them while hunting for 'uninstall' and other
surprises. I see that it gets complicated as i.e. _legacy is a
legitimate target along with buildworld. More to investigate!
make -n -d g1 | less...? Take a look at the main target and at the parents
target at the top.

On 7/4/05, Ted Mittelstaedt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This isn't weird at all. It is a driver issue. Remember I said the driver hasn't been optimized. The driver could be letting the card seize the PCI bus for an inordinate amount of time or some such. This could also be an interaction with the card, the driver, and some bios setting of your motherboard. This could be, for example, not allowing enough cpu time for a higher-overhead program like FTP to run at full speed, while allowing a lower overhead program like iperf, enough time to run at full blast. I have seen issues like this before and they have almost always been solved by swapping hardware. I have in fact swapped hardware that acted up in one machine to a different machine that had a different motherboard, same FreeBSD versions on both systems, and that hardware became rock-solid in the new motherboard. Frankly it all depends on what you want to do. If this is a production system you are going to need it online and you can't waste the time to screw around with it - in that case you know the Intel chipset works well in that motherboard, so replace the Realtek. If however this is a fun-n-games system then keep the Realtek in there and file a send-pr and work it that way. Righto, that, too, makes sense.

accidental overwrite
First let me say that I've been sucessful in finding all my answer either online, at the BSD website, or in my Absolute BSD book until now. I recently installed FreeBSD version 5.4 along with Apache 1.3, PHP5, and MySQL 5.02. I had everything working together great until today when I tried to copy over a .sql file so MySQL could see it and run it. I accidentally copied it over to /usr/local/bin/mysql thinking mysql was a directory. You can see the problem. Now I cannot start mysql at the command prompt from the /usr/local/bin since I overwrote the the required mysql file. My question(s) are: Is there any way to revert back to the original file if this type of mistake is made? If not is there anyway to get just that one file without having to do a complete removal and installation? And finally, is the only way to NOT do this again is to use the appropriate flags with cp?

Hi Steve, first of all, as a rule of thumb, u wouldn't want to write your own files into /usr/local/bin/ unless they are your own scripts. data (other from executables) from ports / base system are hardly ever (never?) found in a 'bin' directory (/usr/local/bin/ , /usr/bin/, /sbin/, etc) If I were in this pickle, i'd just do reinstall the port and move on :) If for whatever reason ur current mysql-client port folder is a version you dont' want to upgrade to,you can cvsup the port to the version you are after (not sure about the details of this...). Once you have cvsuped to that version, do a make ; make deinstall; make reinstall and u should be fine. You could also just do a make on the ports and copy the file by hand (to be absolutely certain only /usr/local/bin/mysql is updated).
