I've got spyware!!??
I just installed flash in Firefox. I was playing around with the autoscrolling feature, when all of a sudden some ugly website pops up. It was something I clicked with the mouse wheel. I tried it again and sure enough the same site pops up. It was kind of tricky to do. I had to be scrolling and then click real fast. I found that if I turned off the autoscrolling, anytime I clicked in the browser window with the mouse wheel this site would come up.

I'm running 5.4 although today I was surprised that dmesg showed this: I have a similar problem in that k3b cannot find my DVD/CD burner. However I haven't received any messages about permissions. On a hunch I started X as root and k3b was then able to find my hardware. This doesn't really solve the problem but it was a quick work-around for me until I figure this out.

An i386 version of FreeBSD runs just dandy on 64-bit Athlons (or 64 bit Intel for that matter) even if this release is failing on this specific system. All current 64-bit PC processors are backwards compatible with i386. I would try the i386 6.1 PRERELEASE CD, the 5.4 RELEASE and the 5.5 PRERELEASE in order and see if any of them worked.

My next question is how are my existing apps going to be affected by upgrading to 5.x? If you install the 4.x compatibility libraries, your old 4.x binaries should continue to work just fine. However, you will want to rebuild as much of your existing software under 5.x as possible.

Yes, this would help a lot!!! Well, once you're running 5.x, install smartmon and run: smartctl -t long /dev/ad0, or whatever the right device is. How old are the drives, if you know?

I've had somewhat better luck with the so-called special edition variants of the drives, such as the WD1200JB, which have more cache RAM and a longer warranty period than the generic versions According to Western Digital, ONLY their 'SD' or (RAID-Edition) drives should be attempted in an array; WDC utilizes proprietary error correction mechanisms which mangle the error-handling done by an array controller. In short, while the drive is doing it's internal error-correction, the raid controller sees it as a drive failure and a whole new mess develops. Whoah, there chicken little! The article is in Western Digital's knowledgebase, article# 1397 Here are the relevant bits: ...If you install and use a desktop edition hard drive connected to a RAID controller, the drive may not work correctly. This is caused by the normal error recovery procedure that a desktop edition hard drive uses ...When an error is found on a desktop edition hard drive, the drive will enter into a deep recovery cycle to attempt to repair the error, recover the data from the problematic area, and then reallocate a dedicated area to replace the problematic area. This process can take up to 2 minutes depending on the severity of the issue... ... Most RAID controllers allow a very short amount of time for a hard drive to recover from an error. If a hard drive takes too long to complete this process, the drive will be dropped from the RAID array... So let me explain. If you have a WD ide disk that is NOT in an array, has a major error, and goes away and hides for TWO MINUTES this is supposed to BE OK in a desktop? How many users do you know are going to sit twiddling their thumbs waiting for 2 minutes for their computer to unfreeze? I thought so. You must have an extremely elastic idea of what an acceptable error handling is on an IDE drive. Yes, IDE, you know, Intelligent Drive Electronics?!? As in, intelligent enough to know that if the problem is so severe it's going to take 2 minutes of scrubbing to fix, that it's a sign of imminent disk failure and the disk ought to be thrown out anyway? I think what we have here is a bit of creative justification by WD for why you should pay more money for their RAID edition drives. I'll tell you what. I will keep an eye on my ATA raid setups that use WD drives in them. If one disk dies for 2 minutes and the array dumps it, I'll RMA the drive back to WD for a new one. You by contrast, can keep your failing drives in your array until they croak permanently.

RE: changeing the port of the ftp server
You would edit /etc/services to change the standard port numbers FTP uses. Say change port 20 21 to 35520 35521. You also must realize that your public internet users who want to access your FTP server must also change their FTP port numbers to the same ones you used in /etc/services before that can gain access to your FTP server. This method is one way to hide your FTP server from attack because you would only tell your trusted remote users what the new port numbers are. All public attackers would be using the standard port 20 21 to attack you. If you want your public remote users to access your FTP server without having to know the new port number, then this is no solution for you. Now I have not heard of any ISP blocking ports 20/21 before, so I am thinking maybe your firewall is blocking those port number. What test did you run to verify your ISP is blocking those ports? Does your ISP usage agreement say those ports are blocked? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of ross Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 11:59 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: changeing the port of the ftp server I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the port of my ftp server.

Since you want to replace it with a newer version, why are you worried about the dependencies. The newer version will take care of that. Of course, if you delete xterm and don't replace it, then you will have to handle the dependencies. So, I do pkg_del -f xterm and then a pkg_add -vr xterm-206_1 and it will upgrade xorg-clients if needed? If yes, then Good. No. It would only upgrade xterm. Xterm isn't dependent on xorg-clients. It's required by xorg-clients. So, that brings up a question. Are you really trying to upgrade xorg and xterm was the example you used? If that's the case, my advice would have been different. What you are trying to do is update using downloaded packages and that is going to work for you. You need to upgrade those packages using the ports system. IS or is not? Is or is not what? I don't understand what you're asking here. You need to use more than a 4 word question, of which 2 of the words are the same. It tends to be confusing. Sorry but You're confusing me too. Read your sentence update using downloaded packages and that is (?NOT?) going to work for you OK, I see what happened. I didn't put not in the sentence, as you pointed out. Since not is what I meant, I refused to see that it wasn't there, in fact my brain expected it to be there, and so when I looked at what you were asking, I saw it. Sorry. Again, I don't want to compile it. I want the binary package. It's available on the mirrors. No It's not. The port is available on the mirrors.

I'm sorry for the sarcasm. Available packages are not as up to date as the ports system is. Again, the package _is_ available and I've verified it. Thanks I'm sorry. You've verified the port was available. The package is not. I just checked. See above. I too do my own verification before shooting emails out to mail lists OK, I see where you were looking.

Do you feel it is good move to upgrade to the stable version. The stable version is really sort of an interim collection of the development version. It is generally felt to be stable with a general sense that everything will work together, but not necessarily ready to be considered a release which is a formally tested collection that generally also has the more active ports built and tested against it by the port maintainers. The stable version is only a little bit more together than the 'current' version which is really just a daily snapshot of the development tree with no particular assurance that everything works together - though FreeBSD is well enough put together that current tends to be workable. If you are determined to stick with 5.xxx for some reason, then go for 5.5 which is scheduled for April 3 or track RELENG_5 to get its latest security updates. But, I think you should move to 6.1 or at least RELENG_6.Do a complete fresh clean install of 6.1 and then start tracking the RELENG_6.

Re: Upgrading Freebsd 5.4 release to 5.4 stable
By mode I meant -- binary upgrade or cvs mode If you go to V-6.xxx as suggested, then do a fresh install, that includes wiping the disk and freshly building the slices and partitions/file systems. Of course, do the appropriate backups first and verify them at least a little.

But in comparrison to the RELEASE verion a STABLE version is not as stable (though it is usually pretty good). It is sort of an interim version with security patches and some of the new things that are being worked on. We came to this conclusion because our servers do have a problem were the server gets rebooted automatically with put any reason ( I couldn't get any from the logs ) This is probably not related to the OS level at all.

Hi thanks to everyone who responded, Esp Tim D. on my question about removing the FBSD boot manager. A plain old DOS FDISK /MBR zapped it, and left my BSD installation untouched. Problem is yet again, I needed a dang DOS boot disk. I've been thinking for years it would be cool to have a boot CD-Rom instead, that could load up into a ram disk, yada, yada Well someone already did it, and did a damn thorough job: The Ultimate Boot CD http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ is a must-have piece of free-ware for anyone maintaining win-tel PCs, regardless of the operating system in use. See the site for a complete list. But basically the guy has pulled together dozens of manufacturer specific diagnostics, firmware flashers, etc onto one CD that can run them directly, or get you a shell in dos or linux, and be able to mount pretty much any file system out there.

Maybe I should call it a day and rest, haha. Just a wild guess, since I don't see why you should have problems running programs like: Can't open display: xenon:0.0 Are you running X11 as a plain user and having problems to run programs *after* using su(1) to become root or does this happen for all users in all terminals? Hi Giorgos, I am trying to run a program from xterm as a normal user. However, when su'ing in xterm, I am unable to run any programs. Then I get the error: Xlib: connection to :0.0 refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: :0.0 That's ok. When you use su(1) to become root, you no longer have permission to open programs on the display of the X server opened by the plain user. setting for csh as root: setenv DISPLAY xenon:0.0 then gives the error message: _XTransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for xenon:6000: hostname nor server name provided, or not known Error: Can't open display xenon:0.0 Open another xterm, from the X11 session of the plain user, and run: $ xhost +localhost Then you'll be able to `connect' by running as root: xenon# setenv DISPLAY localhost:0 I seem to remember never being able to su in xterm and be able to run any programs no matter what combination of settings I have used. That may be true, depending on the version of X11 that you are running, the current operating system and the setup of the X11 sessions. I can't tell what you had done, since I wasn't there... I also think that the error messages might have been different but I am starting to lose track of the error messages for combinations of settings for hostname, DISPLAY, etc. I probably need to start putting all of this down on paper so I can find any patterns.

Re: CVSUP ?
Chris Maness wrote: I have a question in regards to CVSUP. Does it sometimes not delete old files. I did a sync on my ports.

I had just synced two weeks ago. I just thought this behavior was strange. Can anyone shed light on this? What is definitely true, is that cvsup will not delete any files *you* create in the ports tree, and that is a positive feature. I can't say whether this was your situation or not, but AFAIK, under normal circumstances, cvsup will delete files which are deleted from the port, otherwise many ports would have been afflicted with patches that failed to disappear when they should. It'll take a cvsup guru to tell you if there any circumstances in which that doesn't happen, but you could try the cvsup faq at http://www.cvsup.org/faq.html and see if that sheds any light. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But I am still seeing the out of display lists message. It seems like the xdpyinfo command does not do anything. It does. It prints a lot information about the current display. Since this goes to the terminal where xdpyinfo was started, then it goes to the virtual console that you start X11 in. You won't see much, until you exit X11. The only thing that I have done which changes the error message is to set /etc/rc.conf hostname=xenon Then in .bash_profile put DISPLAY=xenon:0.0 export DISPLAY No. That's a *horrible* idea. The `startx' utility can start an X11 server with a slightly different display, i.e. with: $ startx -- :1 Then your .bash_profile will override the default DISPLAY of the X11 session, messing up everything. If you happen to run two X11 sessions at the same time, you will be opening windows in the first session no matter where you run the commands that you will use. Then I get the different error message: _X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for xenon:6000: hostname nor servname provided, or not known Error: Can't open display: xenon:0.0 The error message means you still have name resolution problems. Your system doesn't know that xenon, localhost, 127.0.0.1 are all equivalents ways of referring to itself. So I guess now I have tried every combination of the following: setting hostname in rc.conf to either or xenon setting DISPLAY=xenon:0.0 or leaving that line out in .bash_profile A hostname of is wrong. A hostname of xenon is almost right. And finally, putting in xinitrc xdpyinfo -display :0.0 or just leaving that line out. This should be without any real side-effects regarding the way your X11 session works.

if_iwi on FreeBSD 6.0 on a Thinkpad T43
Hi all, I've encountered a peculiar quirk in either this laptop or FreeBSD with IPW2915ABG. For some reason or another, either the Thinkpad turns the card on at bootup, or FreeBSD's if_iwi driver and acpi_ibm mistakenly think the card is turned on. My loaded modules: Id Refs AddressSize Name 1 14 0xc040 4033b4 kernel 21 0xc0804000 5e28 snd_ich.ko 32 0xc080a000 20448sound.ko 41 0xc082b000 3f44 acpi_ibm.ko 5 17 0xc082f000 6057cacpi.ko 61 0xc089 41c4 wlan_tkip.ko 71 0xc0895000 6fe4 wlan_ccmp.ko 81 0xc1d7c000 18000linux.ko Notice that if_iwi is NOT loaded. Let's have a look at dev.acpi_ibm.0.wlan dev.acpi_ibm.0.wlan: 1 Well thats odd, why would acpi think the wireless chip is turned on with no driver loaded? Let's load if_iwi for kicks iwi0: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG mem 0xa8401000-0xa8401fff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci4 iwi0: Ethernet address: 00:13:ce:b7:ea:8 That works just fine it seems. But then: %iwicontrol iwi0 -r Radio is ON So, now that the driver is loaded, both if_iwi and acpi_ibm think the card is turned on, but there is no firmware loaded. Loading a firmware and then using either `ifconfig iwi0 up' or `dhclient iwi0' does absolutely nothing. I've tried various things with the kernel and BIOS but with no luck. here is my uname: FreeBSD LIGHTBULB.LOCAL 6.0-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p4 #19: Mon Feb 20 15:06:16 EST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LIGHTBULB i386 Keep in mind, this also happens on GENERIC. So, is this a bug in FreeBSD or a quirk in the laptop? I've pondered whether to submit a PR but I'm not sure what exactly is going on here. Even disabling the card in the BIOS, acpi_ibm will still indicate that wlan is turned on. If anyone can clue me in here, please please do so. Until then I'm surfing with an atheros card :) Best Regards, Nathan Lay ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There seems to be an IA-64 which I guess is Intel. Only buy AMD chips myself, so I'm a bit hazy on that. I'm sure freebsd.org has the answer somewhere :-) Major programs include java, and I think, Linux 32-bit compatibility. You can see a complete list of ports which fail to build at http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/ e.g. the ones not building under 5-STABLE for AMD64 are in http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/amd64-5-failure.html. Of course, some of those packages just fail to build anywhere! But lack of java and nvidia are big stumblers for many who might otherwise try 64-bit on a desktop. For a pure server, given the time, I'd certainly experiment with 64-bit. Unfortunately, all my pure servers run Linux - not through choice :-( You described 64-bit chips as bleeding edge, but I really don't think they are any more. Dual cores may be bleeding edge and SLI may be bleeding edge, but bog standard 64-bit processors running a 32-bit OS are dead common and usually seem to work. No doubt there are some chipsets/motherboards that are worse than others, but that's the same for any architecture. Buying anything to run FreeBSD well has always been a matter of checking the hardware lists carefully and backing that up with google. 8 months ago I had no trouble finding an AMD 939 64 bit motherboard that would work well with FreeBSD. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In hindsight, as I sit here running 6.0-RELEASE and 6.1-PRERELEASE on my systems, the FreeBSD 5.x series was slow and buggy as hell. I don't fault the developers or the release engineering team, they did the best they could with a system that needed to be massively reworked to stay relevant. Anyways, After FreeBSD 5.5 is release the 5.x series will be officially put down, like a rabid dog and we will deny that it ever existed, like Netscape 5 :-). This means that you have two options, upgrade to 6.x or upgrade to 6.x. If It were up to me then I would just skip 6.0-RELEASE and go straight to 6.1-PRERELEASE (RELENG_6), then cvsup to RELENG_6_1 when it's officially released. Where possible I would wipe the system and install a fresh copy, if not possible then I would do a cvsup upgrade.

I'm not experienced enough in PHP to be a mentor
in it but from one beginner to another maybe this
will be useful.
Here is a link to a resource I used to get myself
up-and-running with PHP.
http://www.hudzilla.org/phpbook/index.php
I wrote the attached code when I playing around
with the example from the MySQL manual. It's just
play code bu maybe it can point you to the name of
functions (methods) to investigate.

Use the ~/.Xauthority file of the user who started the X11 session. This can only be done by root or a sufficiently privileged user, and it works like this: $ su - Password: After you have gained superuser privileges, you can `merge' the proper credentials that will allow you to connect to the running X11 session (even though it wasn't `root' that started it), by using xauth(1): csh# setenv DISPLAY localhost:0 csh# xauth merge ~user/.Xauthority Now you should be allowed to run X11 programs just fine.

wintel stands for windows+intel :-)
how about Freeon - FreeBSD+{Athlon|Sempron|Opteron}?
Thanks for the tip. I've been wondering how one can do
that, but never got to googling. I'm still afraid to mess
with production servers, though zapping the boot manager
would save a few seconds each reboot (hmm, once every
few years :).
UBCD is great, especially when you get hold of mkisofs
and start customizing it. I had to learn it when I needed to
reflash a server without FDD. It only took an hour to find
a guide, experiment and have a new ubcd containing
all the firmwares I need.
Hiren is also very good, but it contains warez mostly, so
beware. There are many other alternatives out there.

FBSD 6.0 locking up.
Hi all, I have a production server that has been online for a few months now running FreeBSD 6.0. Until now it has been performing flawlessly. It is on a brand new Dell PE1850. A few days back, at a clients request I opened port 3306 to allow remote access to mysql. 3 times today I had to reboot the server because it was not 'alive'. Fortuneately, I have a remote access card on this server which will perform a cold start independantly of the OS. It also has a remote terminal emulator, which I tried to access each time the system frooze, and I could not even type to the terminal let alone login. A ping from another local machine simply shows 'host is down' I have since blocked port 3306, and the machine (and all deamons) have been running for 4 hours now without issue. Do you think opening port 3306 and the crashes are coincidental, or related? Has anyone has similar expierinces? If so, what was the resolve?

Does anyone have instructions on how to build v2.2 of Mod_Auth_Mysql with the latest Apache HTTP release? I have old apps that I cannot rebuild that require some of the directives syntax that are only supported in v2.2 Alternatively, if someone has a pre-built module for the 1x line of HTTPD, built for FreeBSD 4.11 that would be WONDERFULL!! Or, again, maybe there is a slightly later version than 2.2 that has all the same support that is easier to build? V 3.0 doesn't have the function calls I need, although I can build it in a snap. Thanks!! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: New Computer System
I bought a new system (it was on sale), it has 180 Gigabytes of hard drive. Naturally I want to slice it up, so where can I find the documentation on the slice/partition process and table. As I recall, I can make 4 hard slices/partitions and then I can further break-down 1 (or more of them) to have logical slices/partitions. Where can I find documentation on the logical slices/partitions and how to use them? Can I boot into a ( FreeBSD ) logical slice, and if so, how do I do it? (For the 4 hard slices, one uses function keys F1 thru F4 .) Has someone already setup the capability of booting into logical slices, and if so, where can I get it and its documentation? It is all documented in the FreeBSD Handbook that is available online at the freebsd.org web site. Forget the concept of logical slices in FreeBSD. Everything is logical actually, but not in the sense people are used to seeing in Microsloth. Yes, you can make up to 4 primary slices on a disk drive. That is also true in MS world and others.After that it gets a little different. First of all, if you intend to only run FreeBSD on that machine or even just that disk, then there is no reason to use more than one primary slice that you make the size of the whole disk (minus the scrap that gets wasted in rounding to even cylinders for building slices and partitions) Each slice can then be subdivided in up to 8 partitions a-h, but for practical purposes partition c is reserved. Many people also still skip partition d for obscure historical purposes that no longer are meaningful. Also, the b partition is usually used to designate space used for swap. The only reason you need to divide the boot slice in to partitions is for ease of management. You will probably want a fairly small root partition and a sizeable chunk dedicated to swap. There are two main reasons for using more divisions, but it depends on your usage and needs. One reason is to make backups and restores manageable. The bigger the partition, the longer it takes to back up and to recover if there is a problem. The other reason is to help contain runaway disk usage and sometimes to isolate one clump of users or applications from another clump of users or applications. For those reasons, I generally make the following partitions. partition Mount size comments a = / (root) 128MB b = swap 1.5 GB or more - 2.5 X the system memory. c = reserved whole slice for internal use e = /tmp 512 MB Occasionally something can fill /tmp and I don't want it overfilling some other partition. f = /usr 2.5 GB ports and a lot of stuff live there g = /var 1.5 GB more if I want a database living there also log files live there and can grow h = /home All of the remainder of the whole slice/disk Pick any name. /home is easy to remember I also move some directories such as /usr/local and /var/spool and /var/log and even /var/db/... in to the /home partition and make sym links if they start growing.. If you have a second hard disk then you might want to make one large slice and two partitions on it. One for additional swap and the rest in to extra space to use however you see fit. I typically mount mine as /work. jerry ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Good chance I can't help I'm just curious. You want to have a VPN endpoint running in FreeBSD as a guest OS within Qemu, on a FreeBSD host? You want it in Qemu so you don't have to modify the host's network setup and/or install the necessary software? In any case, take a look here (if you haven't already): http://www.qemu.org/qemu-doc.html#SEC20 Might find something useful. The Qemu site states The QEMU VM behaves as if it was behind a firewall which blocks all incoming connections. So on first glance, its sounds as if it might not be supported. But I'd read over the docs in more detail if I were you. Qemu's default behaviour (-net user) is as a firewalled machine, some futzing around and searching on google, and using tap(4), along side ng_bridge(4), you can make it behave as a normal network node (albeit one at 10baseTX), which should support your needs in this one instance. Wishful thinking, or does this make sense? Has anyone done it? Pointers to docs on this, if so? qemu.dad-answers.com has a *BSD subsexion, from whence I managed to get mine working: http://tinyurl.com/pazdu (assuming I cut and pasted okay this time) Honestly, if you're going to run FreeBSD inside the VM, you might look into chroot and jail, as I'm sure those would be faster. I know exactly nothing about networking in jails and/or chroot environments, so qemu may be the thing. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I also discovered that some cheap KVMs (belkin omni cube) throw up a lot of random noise when you switch ports, and mouses can do odd and not fun things when you reconnect (up to and inclusing freezing X and panicking the system).

problem with file creation script
I have a question that has not been answered by the php lists I
subscribe to.
I have written a script that reads a directory in which I have placed
True Type font files
for use with gd and php 5.1.2 on FreeBSD v6.0. This is used to generate
a text file
that serves as input for another script that reads this and calls up
each font and
writes sample text to a png file. I use touch(such and such.png) in a
loop to create
corresponding empty png files in a separate directory.
The problem is that the server Apache 1.3.34 w/php on FreeBSD has
written a ? to
the end of the file name: E.G. such and such file.png? So the
subsequent script
that is supposed to actually write to the file fails silently ( no
errors, just runs and
quits, with nothing written to the files.)
I am working with an ftp client from another machine and when I call up
the contents of
this directory the files are presented as they are supposed to be but
if I try to change
permissions, the server returns message that the file doesn't exist. I
went to the
machine and cd'd into the directory and did ls -la and saw the ? on the
end of each
file name.
Could this be written to STANDARD ERROR on the server so not visible
via ftp connection?
My shell on the FreeBSD machine (the server) is csh.
I looked over the actual script and I can't see anything in the script
that would have added
the question mark.
#/*?php (comment chars added to protect the innocent)
#$items = array();
#function gen_img($b)
# {
# $file = fopen('A-menu.txt', 'r');
# $i = 0;
# while(!feof($file))
# {
# $b[$i] = fgets($file, 128);
#$b[$i] = ereg_replace('.ttf', '.png', $b[$i]);
# print $b[$i].'br';
# $i++;
# };
# fclose($file);
# $i = 0;
#print(getcwd().br);
# for($i; $i count($b); $i++)
# {
# touch($b[$i]); // this is the line executing
touch(), $b is $items in function call below
# print $b[$i].'br';
# };
#
# }
#//gen_img($items); - function call
#function re_name()
#{$a = array();
# $i = 0;
# $dir = opendir('ttf_samples') or die(Couldn't open
dir named ttf_samples);
# While($a[$i] = readdir($dir))
# {if(ereg('png?', $a[$i]))

# ereg_replace('png?', 'png', $a[$i]);
# }
# $i++;
# }

file, notice the absence of the '?'.

Also I hope this text hasn't been reflowed to bad. I notice that

Let's have a look at dev.acpi_ibm.0.wlan dev.acpi_ibm.0.wlan: 1 Well thats odd, why would acpi think the wireless chip is turned on with no driver loaded?

But then: %iwicontrol iwi0 -r Radio is ON So, now that the driver is loaded, both if_iwi and acpi_ibm think the card is turned on, but there is no firmware loaded. Loading a firmware and then using either `ifconfig iwi0 up' or `dhclient iwi0' does absolutely nothing. I've tried various things with the kernel and BIOS but with no luck. here is my uname: FreeBSD LIGHTBULB.LOCAL 6.0-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE-p4 #19: Mon Feb 20 15:06:16 EST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LIGHTBULB i386 Keep in mind, this also happens on GENERIC. So, is this a bug in FreeBSD or a quirk in the laptop? I've pondered whether to submit a PR but I'm not sure what exactly is going on here. Even disabling the card in the BIOS, acpi_ibm will still indicate that wlan is turned on. If anyone can clue me in here, please please do so. Until then I'm surfing with an atheros card :) Hi there, iwi0 works fine here on a Toshiba Tecra laptop, both with if_iwi.ko or built into the kernel. Since 6.0 Release, now on 6.1 Pre#2.
