Appreciate your interest in developing an OpenBSD driver for the ET1310. The ET1310 GigE PHY is an Agere design and the Agere MAC was licensed from a 3rd party.

I've copied our Applications Engineering Manager for the ET1310, Rich Ubowski, on this email. He is currently looking into obtaining the datasheets you've requested. In addition to documentation, I'm attaching the last release of the ET1310 Linux driver for reference, as this might also help in your porting or development efforts. Have you had a chance to find the documentation yet? I can't seem to manage to get MII access to return non zero values. It appears that the ET1310 design was initially based around a National cassini+ design? Jonathan -- End of Forwarded Message - End forwarded message -
Re: xmms does not run smoothly
It was/is the case for me too ! :-( The workaround I use is to increase buffer size to its maximum, i.e. 13MB, with 50% to upper pre buffer. It works quite nicely, but I feel it's a dirty workaround... Nevertheless it allows me to play mp3 and ogg on my 700MHz Athlon with 384MB of RAM, even with cumulated/simultaneous : _ high FTP loads (with vsftp in FTP mode, didn't tested with SFTP) _ web browsing through Firefox (10 tabs) _ Gaim 1.5 _ Xchat. _ Bluefish _ 3 xterms But it keeps micro-freezing sometimes, and memory load is around 360MB (of 384). :-| mylife I didn't complain as I was warned OBSD is quite server oriented, It was quite a challenge to use it for everyday desktops tasks. The main problem I have is the VERY SLOW PAGE SCROLLING in web pages... And I don't know how to fix it, if it's possible. /mylife On 5/18/06, Martin Toft [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, xmms on my computer freezes temporarily when doing disk-intensive tasks, e.g. examining the ID3-tags of a long playlist. It is not a serious problem, it just annoys me that my OpenBSD installation apparently does not perform as well as my friend's Debian GNU/Linux installation, which does not suffer from the problem. It _is_ a matter of honor :) Any help is appreciated, but my primary objective is to find out whether I am the only person experiencing this problem. I run OpenBSD 3.9-release on an IBM Thinkpad T41 laptop with all file sets except bsd.mp.

It did not help. However, maybe these values only affect streaming (over networks). /Martin
Re: Problems trying to mount partition.
Did you tried with 'c' instead of 'a' ? : # mount_ffs /dev/wd1c /mnt/backup/ I had the same problem with a windows formatted disk, it worked with wd1c but not with wd1a or anything else.

Are you sure this is really the disk you think it is? There was probably never a disklabel... looks like he forgot to initialize the disk. -p. Odd. How could he use it for backup before then? Or did he just never use it before? -Nick
Re: ral0 bugs on openbsd 3.8 i386?
Hi, You can download the last rt driver and compile it. You can find it on the cvs at sys/dev/ic/rt2560.* (According to Damien Bergamini advices on his forum (http://damien.bergamini.free.fr)) Good luck On 1/16/06, Theo de Raadt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey guys, I'm having problem with ral0 running in hostap mode on my openbsd box (i386, running 3.8-stable). By running -stable, this is a choice you make. That choice is: Do I want to track fixes made as they head to the next release or Do I want only 10-20 super-important fixes over a 6 month period You chose the latter. Therefore even though there have been about 40 commits to the ral driver, those will *NEVER* make it into -stable and therefore, you are hosed by your own choice.
