Realtek 8111/8168B and Atheros 5100ABGN
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC and an Atheros 5100ABGN wireless adapter on my notebook. FreeBSD-7 STABLE cannot configure either card. devinfo shows full info from the Realtek device and partial info from the Atheros device. In a nutshell, I have no network connectivity on this box. In PC-BSD-7, the Realtek works out of the box, but no luck with the Atheros card either. The issue here is that I don't know which modules are different from PC-BSD-7 to FreeBSD-7 STABLE. A recent thread I read on the web mentions a problem with 8168B not working in the stable or current releases (Jul/08 and Aug/08). Could any kind soul give me a couple pointers on how to get these cards to work on FreeBSD? I am using PC-BSD for now, but I'd rather use FreeBSD.

The board has 4 regular SATA, 4 RAID SATA and 2 PATA ports. I'm not sure if this info helps you but feel free to contact me offlist if you have any specific questions.

ATA Raid (Adaptec 1200A) on Freebsd 6.0
Hello all, I have just recently setup a RAID 1 system running FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE on an Adpatec 1200A card. Getting the system installed and working seems to have been the easy part. What I am trying to do now is find a simple and reliable way to monitor the array. So far I have tried to get raidutil. acccli, and hptraidconf (Highpoint software) working. The only thing that works is atacontrol. Here is what I have come to discover (please tell me if I'm wrong) .. raidutil is for asr systems (I'm have ar0) acccli is for aac systems (again, ar0) hptraidconf requires the highpoint driver which I don't seem to need in 6.0. However, the software does work with some minor tweaking of symlinks in /usr/lib. So, here's my question. It is reasonable to setup a cron job to monitor the output of atacontrol status ar0 and if I see anything other than READY, send an alert? I would then use the cards bios to handle the rebuild of the array with the new drive. The other option that I can think of is to load the Highpoint Rocketraid driver but I don't know if that's a good idea or not. I'm assuming the hptraidconf software will detach the controllers if I'm using their driver. However, all I did to get the system installed as to create the array using the cards bios and put the 6.0 disc in. The installer found ar0 and I installed to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've looked and looked all over google and the this mailing list but most posts are about different cards using asr. Thanks much, Demian p.s.

All in all the server installation failed. What should I do to fix this? TIA Cheers, Hello Mazen, I'm not going to cover whats wrong with pkg_add -r because I don't know .. however, there are a couple of other ways to install MySQL. You could use the ports, build from source, or use binaries. In my opinion, the quickest way to get things up and running is using the binaries. First, go here: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.0.html Second, download the first file from the FreeBSD downloads section ( Standard 4.0.18 9.4M ) Third, in the directory where you downloaded the file run this command, tar zxvf mysql-standard-4.0.18-unknown-freebsd4.7-i386.tar.gz Fourth, cd into the newly created directory and read the INSTALL-BINARY text file, that should give you what you need.
