ethernet on MSI K8N under 5.3-RELEASE amd64

2005-02-01 Thread Matthew Bluestone
I just got an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard with an AMD Athlon 64
3000+ CPU to replace the burned out board in an older system. This
board has two onboard LAN controllers.

Before installing FreeBSD I wanted to get my old files off a drive
running Red Hat 7.3; that drive booted, but the system was not finding
the network.

So I installed FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE amd64 on the other hard drive in
the system, and it still does not find the network. During
installation I had an ethernet cable plugged in to one of the system's
two LAN jacks, and the steps for configuring the ethernet and
ethernet-over-firewire seemed to work.

But I cannot see the network from that system or that system from
others on my network.

When the cable is plugged into that jack, ifconfig says
re0: [blah, blah]
status: active
and when it's plugged into the other the status line is "no carrier".

The fact that the interface wasn't working under Red Hat Linux 7.3 or
under FreeBSD 5.3 makes me wonder if this is simply a hardware setup
problem, but everything else seems to be working correctly, and while
I was admittedly unsure about some of the vast array of cables, there
wasn't even anything to connect for onboard ethernet (was there?).

Suggestions on what I might be doing wrong either in hardware setup or
with the OS are appreciated.


dmesg includes the following:
re0:  port 0x9400-0x94ff
mem 0xfb00-0xfbff irq 5 at device 10.0 on pci2
miibus0:  on re0
rgephy0:  on miibus0

As I said in my original post, my ports tree was updated the day
before I tried all that (which is well after the bug is listed as
being closed).  Since I have apparently the latest port of wine and
have tried both with and without the kernel patch, I'm at a loss.  I
thought this may be an issue with common enough components that
somebody on this list might have encountered and solved the same
problem.

I figured that maybe I had misunderstood about the kernel patch no
longer being needed; maybe it was merged into CURRENT, but I'd have to
do it myself with my 5.3-RELEASE system.

Incidentally, if I should *undo* this patch (I'm not a kernel hacker;
it intuitively seems that messing with the virtual memory manager,
esp. w/ code marked "this is messy; somebody who knows what he's doing
should fix it", could be a bad idea), I'd appreciate somebody's
letting me know.

I will also email gerald directly.  Thank you.

Wine 20041201 on FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE

2004-12-26 Thread Matthew Bluestone
I am running FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE, Xorg 6.8.1 (portupgraded today), and
KDE 3.3.3 (portupgraded today).  My ports tree was updated yesterday.

I am trying to run Wine, and I have the 20041201 port.  The release
notes say that it now runs under FreeBSD 5.3.  While Wine's doc
suggests that a kernel patch may be necessary, the discussion on this
at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=73092 suggests that that
is not the case and that Wine itself has been patched.

Incidentally, I am only bothering with all this in order to run the
Party Poker client, which is listed on winehq as running
(http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=1567;whq_appdb=acc45b9fbc40a720bb99098126f77753)

I successfully did
# make
and
# make install
on the wine port, and I have set up a link to a directory that
functions as "c:", the subdirectories within it, and the
~/.wine/config file as suggested in the documentation.  wineserver
runs, but my Windows application crashes, as follows:
