Wireless network
Hello there, I just installed FreeBSD on my laptop, a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40. Everything is working nicely, even X with the intel driver. The laptop has a buildin wireless network, presenting itself during boot as: ugen0: vendor 0x0bda RTL8187B_WLAN_Adapter, class 0/0, rev 2.00/2.00,addr 2 on uhub2 For some reason it is registered as an USB item. I have not been able to find a driver for this, and I know that it can be tricky to get it up running. Have any of you guys had any luck with this type of wireless? ..or should I just stick to a new USB wireless adapter, known to be working in FreeBSD? -- Mvh/Brgds Harry FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT Compiled at Mon May 12 19:58:10 CEST 2008 i386 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Very slow xfce
Hello, I am having a very strange problem. I just finished installing Xfce-4.4 and got it to work with XDM. But all xfce native applications are behaving very strangely: 1. The terminal doesn't echo back my characters till I've typed the next character. This is applicable to backspace key and password prompts (which wont show up till _after_ if finished typing and pressed enter) 2. The menus dont render properly. Again, I can see the the items only when I hover over them. xterm works fine, so do menus within Firefox. Although my cursor disappears in Firefox's text-boxes sometimes. I have just installed exactly this combination on another system and it works fine. I am quite at a loss where to even start looking. Any help would be appreciated.

Login with ssh using pam_radius and a template_user
Hello list, I've searched and googled quite a bit for a solution to this, but didn't find any. I can't get PAM_RADIUS working with a TEMPLATE_USER for remote logins with SSHD. If I overlooked anything, any hints will be highly appreciated. The situation is as follows: A radius authorization backend system, server A, has user ALICE, with a password, and user BOB, with a password. Another server, server B, is using PAM_RADIUS for radius authentication on SSHD for remote logins. While attempting to figure out how pam_radius works on server B, pam (/etc/pam.d/sshd) is configured like this: authsufficient pam_radius.so try_first_pass template_user=bob debug account sufficient pam_radius.so template_user=bob debug passwordsufficient pam_radius.so try_first_pass template_user=bob debug On server B, Bob has a plain vanilla Unix account in /etc/passwd, with an existing shell and homedirectory. When using the pam config shown above, Bob is asked for his radius password from server A (as expected) when he tries to login with ssh. This works perfectly Ok for Bob: Radius authentication is working on server B when using ssh to login - in this case regardless of his password. So far so good. Since Bob has special privileges on server B, his account will be the template for a small group of other users, effectively sharing the bob-account - not Bobs' password - with others. Template_user should provide for this, from the pam_radius man-page: template_user=username specifies a user whose passwd(5) entry will be used as a tem- plate to create the session environment if the supplied user- name does not exist in local password database. The user will be authenticated with the supplied username and pass- word, but his credentials to the system will be presented as the ones for username, i.e., his login class, home directory, resource limits, etc. will be set to ones defined for username. If this option is omitted, and there is no username in the system databases equal to the supplied one (as determined by call to getpwnam(3)), the authentication will fail. As pam is configured with 'template_user=bob', it would be expected that user 'alice' - an account that doesn't exist on server B in /etc/passwd - should be able to login with ssh since Bob can login... Oddly enough, logging in ONLY works for user 'alice' when the account exists in /etc/passwd on server B. Which would still require all the accounts being present on server B, and thus defeating the purpose of a template_user. It seems that template_user has no effect, no matter which password (alice/bob) is used. Sshd is actually complaining about pam: fatal: Internal error: PAM auth succeeded when it should have failed. From what I've googled it seems that this topic is returning every now and then, without any clear solution. Some do indeed point to OpenSSH (http://www.usenet-forums.com/openssh-development/336942-sshd-pam_radius-under-freebsd.html#post706102). I haven't tested this with telnetd or others. To put it another way: I've found no document that explains why a pam_radius template_user shouldn't work with sshd. Can this be done at all? Am I overlooking anything? Should I send-pr this? Or am I totally misreading the man-page? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

When it boots in the machine which has the card (I compiled
on another computer) it blows out with a kernel error (writing
not a non-existent page, I think) when the device shows up.
It shows as device bge0 but identified as BCM 5701 (iirc).
Can someone point me in the right direction? Has anyone
gotten this card to work?
With help from the List I got this to work:
The answer, maybe not the BEST answer, but the answer that
works, is to use the Windows XP driver and FBSD's 'ndis'. My
goal was to build a FBSD router with wireless access to my COTS
wireless router to provide network access in another part of the house.
Get the driver files (.sys .inf) either from the CD that came with
the card or from the Buffalo web site:
http://www.buffalotech.com/support/downloads/
Then, per instructions from the Handbook (11.8.2)
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-network-set
up.html
run 'ndisgen' on the driver files:
# ndisgen netg300n.inf cbg300n.sys
A .ko file will be generated: cbg300n_sys.ko. It can be loaded
using 'kldload ./cbg300n_sys.ko' but I wanted it loaded at boot.
So, as 11.8.2 says, copy this file to /boot/modules and add the
following line to /boot/loader.conf:
cbg300n_sys_load=YES
Also, as I wanted WPA encryption, I added two other lines to
loader.conf:
wlan_ccmp_load=YES
wlan_tkip_load=YES
The wireless setup instructions are in the handbook section 29;
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.h
tml
Then in /etc/rc.conf add this:
ifconfig_ndis0=WPA DHCP
The device 'ndis0' is created by the ndis driver when it handles a
Windows driver. I guess if you have more than one Windows
device and driver you get to sort out the various ndis0/1/2/3/4/5/etc.
If you don't want WPA just use DHCP and you don't need the
two extra lines above in loader.conf.
For WPA you need to create the WPA config file:
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
network={
ssid=your wireless network name
psk=your personal access key
}
Somehow, it all magically started working. (No doubt due to the
hard work of many FBSD coders.)
I hope I didn't leave out any major part. I'm posting this not only
so other can benefit if they run into a similar problem, but in case
this box burns (HD fails) I'll have a record of what I did to recreate
it. g

Is this supported at all in freebsd? I tried hacking if_cdce (added device ID) and when i enable connection sharing on the phone it attaches, but I cant get it to talk to my laptop over the cdce interface (either trying dhcp on the cdce interface, manually giving it the IP it gets given on windows or manually setting both ends) so i'm guessing it needs something more.

This is the crypto(4) driver. It provides a device-independent framework to support cryptographic operations in the kernel. I.e. is uses hardware if available.

Stop building all those kernel modules
I'm trying to use nanobsd to build a small kernel for an embedded system on FreeBSD 7. In previous versions, I could modify GENERIC by just commenting out all the devices and options that I wasn't interested in, and buildkernel KERNCONF=myconf would happily ignore all the things I wasn't interested in. This no longer works. Now everything gets built, even things that are broken/incompatible with other options I've chosen. I've tried setting NO_MODULES=YES, but the modules were still built. I see documentation for WITHOUT_MODULES, but it wants me to list every module I don't want to build? Come on! There must be a better way... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [SOLVED] major CD errors when installing 7.0 (only 7.0)!
On Tue, May 13, 2008 at 10:30 PM, Joachim Rosenfeld [EMAIL PROTECTED]
But when I installed via the 7.0 disk 1, I received CD errors when I
got to the point where it started copying the base distribution off
the disk.
When I booted off the same CD again, I saw something similar to the following:
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=... ascq=...
I was able to plug in an external CD drive and boot off of and install
via that. But it is odd that FreeBSD 7 would have problems with this
CD drive that 6.{3,2,1} and Windows (dual-booting) doesn't.

It just has the misfortune of being the last module to be built. I was building the kernel with nanobsd, which uses make -j3 by default. Running multiple make jobs at the same time like that made it impossible for me to see that the build was really crashing because I'd left something important out of my kernel configuration. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
