[ to implement iSCSI in the kernel ] I'm unsure which side you wish to be on. There's accept filters that you can write, but I doubt that's what you want to do. This would be good if you are implementing an iSCSI target on FreeBSD, maybe (then again, maybe not). If you want to be an iSCSI initiator (I think that's the right term), then you'll need to do things similar to what sys/nfsclient/nfs_socket.c does. I could do a quick code walkthrough, but you'd likely be better off studying the nfs code since it will give you a better understanding than I can in a few lines. In addition, because locking has changed over time, the exact version matters. Careful study will show differences in what locks are needed, if any. But in a nutshell, you call socreate to get a socket. You setup the various fields in the socket data structures. You call sosetopt to do the latter. sobind will set this host's endpoint, and soconnect will connect the socket to the remote side. You'll need to setup send and receive buffers and manage them with soreceive and sosend. there's some callbacks that also need to be established as well. And some socket layer locking that may be exposed to your code because there are so few in-kernel protocol implementations that aren't peers to TCP, UDP or IP. I hope this helps.

Re: Best way to print photos
Of course, if you can print borderless on your particular printer via Windows, then you should have a reasonable expectation of being able to do that in FreeBSD as well. However, if you regressed your setup I think you'd find that the hardware is the limiting factor. What you said about printing all the way to the edge of the paper is generally true of consumer grade printers, especially laser printers. This printer, however, is definitely able to produce borderless prints with Windows.

(10) To print from gimp, I have to remove the '-l' from the command line every time I print in the printer setup. This causes the raw .ps file to go to the printer, rather than via cups' postscript filter for the printer. (11) To get photos, one must set photo quality via cups setup interface. #10 is was tripped me up for a long time. That's why printing to the black and white printer worked for me (it was a postscript printer), while it failed to the color. I hadn't noticed before that it printed the raw postscript and then lots of new lines. Since these newlines weren't accompanied by CR, all text was off the edge of the papper, all I got was a bunch of blank pages. #5 bit me on boot. Since cups replaces the /etc/printcap unconditionally, when lpd started it failed to start. I lost a bunch of print jobs before I worked out where they had gone and why things had gone south. I'd love to know how to print borderless prints (right now I get 1/4 (8mm) boarder on the prints). I'd also love to know how to setup gimp correctly. However, these are really side issues now that I have basic functionality working. Thanks to everybody who was helpful in getting me to this point. It got me over the hump. My HP DeskJet 5850 is working great as a color printer with CUPS and my LaserJet 2200 continues to work like before. Now, all I gotta do is to figure out my OfficeJet 4200, at least the scanning portion... But that can wait until my photo printing backlog is cleared...

Re: Best way to print photos
You have to have a printer that's capable of doing borderless prints. Most printers will only print to within 1/4 of the page. Try a custom size paper (increase the size by 1/2), maybe that will help do it. Windows does borderless printing on this printer, so I know it can do it.

Re: nvi for serious hacking

Seems like one year from vi to being deployed at Berkeley to a completely different video editor being deployed on a completely different os in the schools that I used this in seems fast. So I did some digging. vi started in about 1976[1] as a project that grew out of the frustration taht a 200 line Pascal program was too big for the system to handle. These are based on recollections of Bill Joy in 1984. It appears that starting in 1972 Carl Mikkelson added screen editing features to TECO[2]. In 1974 Richard Stallman added macros to TECO.

Re: Will USB serial ever be fixed?
Be honest. Be brutal. I need to know where FreeBSD stands on this. Personal opinion: You overstate the probelems, and have a bad attitude. More details: I use umodem + ucom all the time for connecting to the internet on my laptop. I've had exactly 0 problems doing this for the past 4 years. I run current every day on this laptop, and do substantial development. If the problems were as dire as you suggest, I'd be unable to do this at all. There may be other problems in the serial subsystem intersected with usb, however I think you vastly overstate your case.

Re: make .if exists problem/question
Yes. The thing to keep in mind is that much of the .if stuff is done at parsing or rule construction time. So if you change something (creating a file, say), then that condition won't be re-evaluated. For the specific example given, one could replace much of the goo with: target: foobar foobar: touch foobar if you wanted to create foobar. Otherwise, I'd be tempted not to use .if exists. I'd be tempted to do something more like: target: @-if [ -f foobar ]; then cat foobar; else touch foobar; fi where you have the shell check. The primary use of exists() I've seen is: .if exists(foo.mk) .include foo.mk .endif although I have seen others.

Next, you should look at the following routines in cardbus (located in src/sys/dev/cardbus and dev/pccbb): cbb_insert will call CARD_ATTACH_CARD on cbdev. The CARD_ATTACH_CARD method is implemented in cardbus.c's cardbus_attach_card. There it will probe all the slots on the bus.

This is the problem. Ther's no 10b5/9050 ID in if_wi_pci.c. The
following patch might do the trick for you. It is relative to
-current, but a similar patch would be applicable to stable.

Re: [PATCH] PPP in -direct mode does not execute any chat scripts
In message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maksim Yevmenkin [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: : Dear Hackers, : : Please find attached patch that adds new option to the PPP. : : : run-scripts-in-direct-mode : Default: Disabled. This allows to run chat scripts in : direct mode. : : did i miss anything? objections? comments? reviews? Maybe it would be better to call this force-scripts or something more general purpose so that one could force the use of scripts anywhere. Making direct mode have a special case override seems a little too restrictive. The heart of the patch would become: - if (dl-physical-type (PHYS_DIRECT|PHYS_DEDICATED)) + if (!Enabled(dl-bundle, OPT_FORCE_SCRIPTS) + (dl-physical-type (PHYS_DIRECT|PHYS_DEDICATED)) /* Ignore scripts */ runscripts = 0; with corresponding changes to the docs, defines, etc. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: PPP in -direct mode does not execute any chat scripts
Is there any reason that RFCOMM doesn't give full tty support, like the various USB modem drivers do? That's likely the best way to deal with this. Then ppp or whatever application you want will just work. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

That's one way.
Another is to have some control program that interacts with RFCOMM to
establish a 'connection' between endpoints and sets the various
parameters and gives userland access to it as a tty.
barring that, you'll may be able to run chat on stdin/stdout before
ppp gets into the act and get the number dialed that way and have ppp
-direct run afterwards.

Re: smc wireless adhoc
In message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bognr, Attila [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: : What other suggestions do you have? adhoc mode sucks really badly on -stable. I'd use hostap. Alternatively, I'd use ibss-create if you really want to run in 'adhoc' mode. Normal adhoc sucks between cards that aren't identical with identical firmware because the bugs are legion with earlier prism cards. The problem here is that there are two typs of 'adhoc'. There's the true ibss mode that ieee defines, and then there's a demo adhoc mode that is massively non-standard. The two don't mix. And setting the 'adhoc' mode rid in the card does strange things.
