ATH follow up

2007-08-27 Thread Dan Sikorsky

I did a little research, and found the actual chip is an AR2414,
I also found this from an email msg board. 
http://marc.info/?l=freebsd-mobile&m=116855424703573&w=2
Basically someone was asking is the ar2414/ar5414 are supported, and the 
guy says
HEAD supports both, but not stable.. So how can I get this working if 
that is still an issue?

ath Driver please help ath0

2007-08-27 Thread Dan Sikorsky

Hello,
I just purchases an Atheros AR5005GS wireless mini pci card
for my dell latitude x300 laptop.
I cant for the life of me get it to connect to my wireless network.
I basically followed the ath Stuff this page, And chose to load modules 
at boot time, instead of compile

this stuff into my kernel.

I have netgear 54g wireless, With no WEP or WPA or any of that, but with 
MAC filter on..

I even turned that filter off, and still no luck.
can anyone help?

Freebsd 6.2 current

Having major issues with my ethernet card

It seems like one out of every 20 boots will get it working,

It used to work fine everytime,
It than started getting flaky, i wired up a new cat5e, and still no luck
booting into windows or dsl or anything else works fine no issues.

Why would this work once upon a time and not now?

whats the deal with these broadcoms

NDIS troubles / broad com WIFI

2007-05-23 Thread Dan Sikorsky

Hello,
I have a dell latitude x300 laptop, with the broadcom BCM4309 mini pci 
wireless card.


I have tried ndising it... first having problems with syntax on line 13, 
and converting from utf into ascii, trying different driver versions etc.


It seems I always get to this point.
where you:
kldload ndis
kldload if_ndis


if i load one, i cannot load the other, says file exists, and my 
wireless card does not show up


I than tried a netgear wireless card, that i have sucessfully ndis'd on 
ubunto on an old compaq laptop..


For the latest example i followed these instructions to the T
http://dannyman.toldme.com/2005/01/05/freebsd-howto-ndisulate-windows-drivers/

but same problem
and no ndis showing up in dmesg or ifconfig


am I missing somthing?
do i need to enable somthing in my kernal, or disable acpi?

any clues?

I've read about there being a million different broadcom drivers,.. but 
i couldnt even get it to work on my netgear,

Any further clues how to get this working in freebsd?

tried a pcbsd 1.301 install and it still didnt work.

saw somewhere that a guy had custom .h files for the card, because it 
times out before firmware loaded.

http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/current/2003-07/0924.html

but i also read somewhere that a guy got a similar dell laptop with

Try linux-firefox if you're desperate. linux-flashplugin7
works pretty much out of the box with it. Peruse mailing
lists archives and you'll get it working with firefox,
opera, linux-opera and a bunch of other browsers.

Good luck!

upgrading gnome

2006-11-30 Thread Dan Sikorsky

freebsd 6.1
xorg 6.9

Hey, I have gnome 2.12

trying to upgrade to 2.16

i tried everything from pkg_add (obviously deleting the old one first)
to portmanager
to portinstall
to port upgrade
and building it from the ports tree..

things fail one major problem I was having was gail... but i think I 
have beaten that because now i get another error, cant remember it at 
the moment

but its irrelevant. I have broken my current gnome installation...

when i startx... it will load all my panels, and any app will run fine, 
but the *desktop* its self is missing, including the background image.
If i go into Desktop Background, it will load, but still I cant right 
click on the desktop, and there are no icons, and no way to add them

(they are however still listed in my usr/home/dan/Desktop )

I've managed to break all kinds of things, Realplyer wont work now, 
because I unistalled my old linux base with portmaster
for example. does anybody know of a good way to WIPE gnome, and 
rebuild it and its Dependant ports from the ground up?


I dont want to re-install my freebsd, as Ive worked very hard to get 
everything from my M-audio sound card, my custom kernel, and
giant fat32 drives, to my apache server etc etc etc, im sure you are all 
in the same boat if you are using freebsd


thanks

Using Screen

2006-11-29 Thread Dan Sikorsky

Hey, I have a good question for you guys.

Lets say, I started a job on a computer, if you must know, portmanager -u ,
and then left... but I know its sitting there stuck on a config window 
waiting for someone to press enter...

I do not have screen installed on this machine...

my question is, can I ssh in, install screen (or not i suppose it 
wouldnt matter) and bring that process to either
screen, or my ssh terminal?  i was hoping there would be a way maybe to 
suspend it, and then bring it to another term.



thanks

Audio recording / home studio type questions

2006-10-26 Thread Dan Sikorsky

Hello,
My name is Dan, I'm new to this list, I'm a sysadmin.

I have a freebsd / gnome desktop at home, and I have a piece of hardware 
Called guitar port... perhaps some of you are familiar


well, this is one of those devices that the company only supports 
windows  ( www.line6.com )
when i start my machine, freebsd posts it as "Line 6 guitar port blah 
blah" and i think I caught the device name Ugen1 or something similar

(I'm assuming this is usb..generic, as it is a usb audio card)

has anyone had any luck running this thing?
or does anyone have any recommendations on how to ndis this card using 
its windows drivers... I've only ever ndis'd wireless cards.
I cant find any relevant info on line, and line6 support wont help me 
because its not windows.


if this is a flop, what is a solid card (mulitracking pref.) usb/ or 
pci, that is bsd compatible, and will work with some

of the great software out there, like Beast

also, any other recording  setup recommendations?

I will be recording guitar / bass /drums /vocals  .. I have all mics / 
preamp necessary

Thank you,
--
