wi0 does not associate on system startup
Hi, I'm using a Netgear MA401 card on FreeBSD 4.8 (dell inspiron 2650 laptop), and for some reason I can't automatically connect to the wireless network when I start up. However, 'killall dhclient; dhclient wi0' works perfectly. Can anyone tell me what I can do to make this work the first time around? Below is a simple log of what I do everytime I boot up-- it looks like the card might be trying to get an INET6 address, but I don't know what to do about that either.

Re: Are there STABLE/CURRENT/RELEASE tags for ports?
DoubleF, Thanks for the suggestions, I definitely feel your pain. I just wish I had the disk for that sort of system... On a more pragmatic note, are there any particular reasons that port maintainers can't use the -STABLE tag for their updates? It seems like a general guideline of stable lags current by X weeks might help things tremendously. Mark On Thu, 12 Jun 2003, DoubleF wrote: Are there any equivalents to STABLE/RELEASE/CURRENT for ports? I've been cvsup'ing with tag=. for awhile and I keep getting build errors (bug reports will be filed soon). Is there a way to just track -STABLE ports (maybe that only have bugfixes and security updates) that are more likely to play nicely with each other? If not, is there any way to make this happen? Arghh I wish there were such tags. In the meantime you might consider CTM for ports, downloading the deltas from the FTP. If you do that and NEVER EVER remove the deltas, you may be able to 'roll back' to any date you want to try to find the non-broken port version (if there was any, of course...). I am also rather tired of build errors. What I can suggest is probably kludgy, but it is the least kludgy way I could find to compile some ports. Before you install any ports, 1) Save the deltas... hier kludge start 2) Symlink /usr/X11R6 to /usr/local. Many ports put files in the wrong one, and symlinking individual files is, ahm,... AFAIK, there are no colliding files in them. 3) Try putting /usr/local and /var/db/pkg (and /etc/X11, and /usr/ports maybe, but I don't) on a separate filesystem. Make two such filesystems, current and stable. Make / and the remaining /usr as read-only as possible. Make a mountpoint, say, /switch. Symlink /usr/local to /switch/usr.local, /var/db/pkg to /switch/var.db.pkg... Then change the fstab file to mount stable at startup. You can always mount current after boot on top of stable and so emulate what you wish. You may want to make the WRKDIRPREFIX to point to a directory shared between the current and stable to save compilation time (otherwise you will compile each port twice), but I wouldn't recommend it (to be on the safe side). hier kludge end It's just what I do. I know it breaks the normal hierarchy (and takes 2x space), but at least it does it in a polite way.

FreeBSD 5.0 on Dell Inspiron 2650
Hello, I'm trying to put 5.0-RELEASE on my new laptop, and I found a good guide for doing so with 4.x-- basically, you have to escape the autoboot process, type boot -c, enter eisa 0 at the config prompt, and then quit to start the boot. But it seems like 5.0 does not support boot -c (just ignores it entirely). I'm using the disc 1 .iso (it mentions mini-inst during the pre-boot stages). Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong, or what the replacement for boot -c is?

/usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install fails looking for libinstall.a
Hi, I'm trying to rebuild the pkg_install suite from cvsup'ed source, but the build consistently fails with cc: /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/add/../lib/libinstall.a: No such file or directory If I copy that file from another machine (the file is built during make world) the build and install runs perfectly. But shouldn't a make build in /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install include making this libinstall.a?

ATAPI CDRW compatibility
I remember awhile back reading the list of burncd-supported ATAPI CDRW drives, and at the time it was a short list. I'm now thinking of moving up to a faster drive, and according to Section 4.6 of http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/hardware.html FreeBSD supports any ATAPI-compatible IDE CD-R or CD-RW drive. Is this in fact correct? For burning purposes? Really? The drive I'm considering is the Sony CRX195A1/C1, and I'd like to know if this updated information is correct-- which improved, the software or hardware?
