Have you considered using something like a small laptop (like the Asus eeePC) which is small enough and provides sufficient UNIX compatibility? Additionally, a regular keyboard (even if in small size) provides tactile feedback which can be an advantage (as you don't need visual confirmation about something that's covered by your fingers). I think such kind of netbook can be obtained for few money. Some of them were shipped with Linux, if I remember correctly, and if you wish to install FreeBSD, it's also possible. Here are some examples which illustrate the feasibility of such a project: http://wiki.freebsd.org/AsusEee http://www.freebsdgr.org/articles/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/install-eeepc/article.html these look hopeful since I need to update my debian 5.X. http://www.unixarea.de/installEeePC.txt The requirements are met: small screen, physical keyboard, built-in speakers. If getting online with it is required, that's also possible by using some selected USB web stick. I have an EEE-900A that I bought on ebay about two years ago. it works fine for my speech program. I got something about a google tablet, and [i think] a nook tablet. [?]. then theres the amazon tablet. is there a samsung tablet? does the windoze tablet have the ability to be unixified, or is it stuck with its crappy op- sys? you can see the problem of there being dozens of these small gadgets out there--yes, including thed android--.

You must tell ifconfig which ssid to use.

Hi,
I don't recall connecting with CCMP (maybe there's no issue!!!) but check
the router settings. For some reason I remember having to set mine to use
TKIP. An idea. (?)

I think Erich is correct. Also, CCMP should work great if
wlan_ccmp_load=YES is in /boot/loader.conf

Got indentations for all sections plus the high-intensity stuff converted to bold. The blank lines also can out. An all this confusion simply because I wanted to trim the command nicely and left out some stuff from my man2pdf script. Here it is for reference (in case you need to create PS or PDF output from manpages): #!/bin/sh if [ $# = 0 ]; then echo usage: man2pdf.sh topic exit 1 fi if [ -f $1.pdf ]; then echo output file $1.pdf already exists, aborting. exit 1 fi zcat `man -w $@` | groff -Tps -dpaper=a4 -P-pa4 -mandoc | ps2pdf $1.pdf exit 0 And as you can see: the -mandoc option is in there, the big difference being -Tps instead of -Thtml (as listed in man groff regarding the -T option).

Also: it seems that since the last time I used send-pr Spamassassin was placed between the recipients of send-pr and dynamic hosts. So it looks as if it may be best for people to be told to use the web interface for bugs, since send-pr seems to use the localhost MTA, rather than SMTP AUTH. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
