FreeBSD and multi-port serial cards
I have a multi-port serial card that uses the puc driver. It doesn't work out of the box, but I found a patch on the hackers list that claims to fix the problem. My problem now is that it seems that the code for this driver has been completely redone in FreeBSD 7.0. Can someone help me translate the patch below to work on a 7.0 system? --- pucdata.c.org Sat Dec 16 00:31:37 2006 +++ pucdata.c Thu Mar 22 13:03:32 2007 @@ -865,6 +865,17 @@ }, }, + { Oxford Semiconductor Ltd OX16PCI954 Quad UART, + { 0x1415, 0x9501, 0x131f, 0x2050 }, + { 0x, 0x, 0x, 0x }, +{ + { PUC_PORT_TYPE_COM, 0x10, 0x00, COM_FREQ * 10 }, + { PUC_PORT_TYPE_COM, 0x10, 0x08, COM_FREQ * 10 }, + { PUC_PORT_TYPE_COM, 0x10, 0x10, COM_FREQ * 10 }, + { PUC_PORT_TYPE_COM, 0x10, 0x18, COM_FREQ * 10 }, + }, + }, + { SIIG Cyber 4S PCI 16C650 (20x family), { 0x1415, 0x9501, 0x131f, 0x2051 }, { 0x, 0x, 0x, 0x }, Thanks. -- Andy Miller pgpUUTyUTEXeH.pgp Description: PGP signature
Sierra Wireless MC5720 help
I have a Sierra Wireless MC5720 that came with my Lenovo T60p laptop. The card is fully activated and known to work in Linux and Windows. I am attempting to get the card working in FreeBSD, but not having much luck. The umodem driver claims to support the device, but as of yet I have not been able to get it to probe the modem as anything other than ugen. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Intel High Definition Audio
I recently purchased a new computer that came with the new Intel High Definition Audio integrated sound. I can't seem to get the audio working.

CARP and ng_fec
I am currently trying to setup CARP for a new high availability system. I have CARP working fine as long as I don't try using ng_fec. This system requires that I use FEC for NIC fail over, and I'd really like to use CARP for the IP fail over. Has anyone tried this, or have any ideas on how to get CARP to work with fec? I have read about the option carpdev, but every time I try to use it I get ifconfig: carpdev: bad value. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -- Andy Miller pgpHhVE6r8z0g.pgp Description: PGP signature

If it is incorrect, what else needs to be done ? It shouldn't be a problem unless you updated your userland when you made the new kernel. As long as the kernel and userland are from the same release branch, you should be fine. If it doesn't work, you can always boot with the working kernel again and change everything back (information on this can be found in the handbook). -- Andy Miller pgpT8NKBpwPNN.pgp Description: PGP signature

But after reading a few mails here that 4.9 is most likely not supported for a long time.. what version should we take then? We will be using it for multiple servers (mail, database, app, web etc..) It depends. Most people will tell you that 4.9 will be the best version to use for a production environment, and they would be right. However, the 4.x branch won't be around forever. Some day in the not so distant future, 5.x will go to -stable. If you want proven reliability, go with 4.9. If you think you might want to upgrade to 5.x in the near future, you might want to use 5.2 so you don't have to hassle upgrading from 4.x to 5.x. I have personally been using 5.x since it was still only -current. I've had no problems on any 5.x-release systems, they've always preformed well. I hope this helps you decide. Good luck with your switch. -- Andy Miller pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

The opposite is easy to accomplish - if I put somebody's name in file /etc/ftpusers, that person cannot login with ftp, but they could still login with ssh. But I don't see a file /etc/sshusers, and I'm wondering if there is some equivalent. If you don't want someone to be able to login, you can change their login shell to /sbin/nologin. -- Andy Miller pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'm building this system for my son (college student) who has been (until now) a Windoze user :( I'm trying to set this sytem up so that he'll be able to use it with a minimum of calls to tech support (me). One of the issues I am struggling with is how to make the cd-rw cd-rom devices usable without requiring him to start a root shell and mount/umount these devices. There appear to be some KDE applications that support this, but they must be started with root permissions. I figured automounting cd's must be a FAQ, so I researched the FreeBSD website, and Greg Lehey's book to find the answer. Unfortuantely, I found very little info. The only good source of how-to on this subject was a rather dated article that described configuring amd to do this: http://www.daemonnews.org/200202/automounting.html The dearth of sources of info on this lead me to wonder if automounting the cd drives is something that should be done at all. So - my questions are: 1) Should I automount cd's? 2) What is the best way to allow ordinary users to mount cd's?

It will allow you to give users root privilages for specific commands. Just install sudo from ports.
