Hi all,
Here I am away with the family visiting friends and I REALLY need
to get the iwi if up and running.
It's a recently updated system (7.1RC2). Read the man pages, tried
different variations on legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1, iwi_load,
firmware_load etc. in /boot/loader.conf but I cannot get a
connection to the router.
It used to work on this box with my basic config, a Thinkpad T42,
and it still does with XP.
The interface is associated to the access point ok.
Anyone who can hint me on how to debug this? Would sysctl
debug.iwi.0=1 help? Of course, ANY information is of interest. Does
iwi have a problem with certain routers?
Sorry, no config files, I'm without connectivity when booting
FreeBSD...
Any help appriciated!
I don't know whether iwi has issues with particular routers, however
I do have it working on 7-STABLE i386 without difficulty.
Does it help to see the relevant bits from my config?
/boot/loader.conf:
if_iwi_load=YES wlan_load=YES firmware_load=YES iwi_bss_load=YES
iwi_ibss_load=YES iwi_monitor_load=YES legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
/etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_iwi0=inet 192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid
*** bssid 00:14:bf:94:1e:75 channel 11 wepmode on wepkey
deftxkey 1
(yes, I know I shouldn't still be using WEP).
Works without difficult connecting to a Linksys router.
I did have some difficulty I seem to recall when I turned off SSID
broadcast on the router. I'd suggest trying with all the security
turned off if you haven't already to see if you can connect at all,
and then reintroduce the security measures later.
Thanks for your reply.
Your config is identical to mine. I think something fishy is going on
here but don't know what it is - yet..
The router is a Netgear WNR854T.
Have you tried running without WEP or WPA and with the router broadcasting the
SSID, to test whether that's the issue?

DNS Forwarder, Proxy or ?
I have set up a FreeBSD box as a router; works great. The router (machine B) is a DHCP client to another box (Machine A) that provides it with its IP address and its DNS server address. When I hook up a new box (Machine C) to Machine B, I provide it with Machine B's private IP address as its default Gateway, but have to give it Machine A's address as the DNS Server. I'd like to not tie new machines to Machine A; instead I'd like them to discover from Machine B the DNS server address, which Machine B clearly knows. I've looked at named and dnsproxy, but it _seems_ that they require that I put machine A's address in a config file. Though this is better than the current situation, it still ties my network to machine A's DNS address.

This allows you to maintain all the FreeBSD documentation with a minimum of effort. Docsnap is an rsync repository for easy updating of installed FreeBSD documentation (/usr/share/doc). The first run may take longer but subsequent updates take very little time. Only the differences in the documents are transferred. That is the main advantage but you also do not need to install ports with hefty overhead to build documents. Rsync is only utility required (/usr/ports/net/rsync).

I was having a problem reaching that URL; however, I found that this one: http://www.oook.cz/bsd/docsnap.html did seem to work. In any case, I am unable to get the 'rsync' command to work.

Re: OT: how many rankmount units is a tower-case
If a hard disk formatted and used in a position , in that position it may be used if manufacturer is NOT advised a specific position. After loading of files into hard disk , change of position may cause difficulty in reading of already recorded data . This point should be considered . Sun, at least, used to warn about this back in the MFM/ESDI days, recommending that a disk should be reformatted if its orientation were changed, but those drives used all their heads for data and depended on reproduceable mechanical positioning to align the heads at the selected cylinder. I'm not sure it still applies to drives that dedicate one head to fine-tuning track position by reading factory-recorded servo patterns. (Quick check, if actual geometry is known: a drive with an odd number of heads most likely has a dedicated servo surface.) BTW most drives of that era, while OK on either side as well as right side up, were *not* supposed to be run upside down -- the bearings were not designed for that. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-i386 will changing root shell break anything?
Does anybody know if it's okay to change the root shell? A topic of debate, but yes it is okay to change the root shell, but there are some things to know... Some people fret about the idea that shells like bash are not on the root partition and are usually dynamically linked to libraries which reside on /usr and are therefore not available in single-user mode. (One could install a static version of bash to avoid this.) Additionally, FreeBSD prompts the user for the path to the desired shell when going into single-user mode. Shells like sh and tcsh, while dynamically linked, their libs reside on the root partition. If that isn't enough, statically linked shells exist in /rescue and therefore should always be available. Furthermore, the installation CD can be booted from and can provide an emergency repair shell. So yes, there is no technical reason you cannot change the root shell. Just be aware that a default bash install will not be available in single-user mode. But... best security practices dictate that you should not be using the root shell. If you're using the root shell often enough to find the default shell inconvenient, you should consider using something like sudo and a regular user account instead. You can use the builtin 'su' command with the '-m' flag to preserve the environment of the current user, while elevating your privileges.

After loading of files into hard disk , change of position may cause difficulty in reading of already recorded data . This point should be considered . Sun, at least, used to warn about this back in the MFM/ESDI days, recommending that a disk should be reformatted if its orientation were changed, but those drives used all their heads for data and depended on reproduceable mechanical positioning to align the heads at the selected cylinder. I'm not sure it still applies to drives that dedicate one head to fine-tuning track position by reading factory-recorded servo patterns. (Quick check, if actual geometry is known: a drive with an odd number of heads most likely has a dedicated servo surface.) BTW most drives of that era, while OK on either side as well as right side up, were *not* supposed to be run upside down -- the bearings were not designed for that. That may well have been true back in those days, but reasonably modern drives[*] do not have those limitations. Todays drives can be mounted in any orientation, and should have no problems being remounted in a new orientation. From Western Digital's FAQ: Physical mounting of the drive: WD drives will function normally whether they are mounted sideways or upside down (any X, Y, Z orientation). Of course, the physical design of your system may limit the positions in which the drive can be mounted. However, in all cases, you should mount the drive with all four screws for good grounding. Also ensure that there is enough air space around the drive for adequate air flow, and avoid mounting the drive near sources of excessive heat (such as some CPUs). From Seagate's FAQ: All Seagate Maxtor's internal hard drives can be fitted sideways or upside down. As long as they can not be moved during use and get enough cooling it is irrelevant in which direction they are mounted. From Hitachi's installation guide: There are many variations of system cases. Hitachi Deskstar drive can be mounted with any side or end vertical or hori- zontal. Do not mount the drive in a tilted position.

I have installed vpnc to connect to an employer's Cisco VPN system, and it seems to make the connection, but after connecting I can't ping the gateway nor anything beyond it ... It turned out the only problem was the absence of NAT Traversal Mode cisco-udp in vpnc.conf.

Re: Using HDD's for ZFS: 'desktop' vs 'raid / enterprise' -edition drives?
Just FWIW, the proper way to do online expansion with ZFS is quite different than that of a RAID controller, as doing a regular OCE process is quite difficult in ZFS (due to the variable-size stripes that ZFS uses, which makes the simple expansion of regular RAID-5 or RAID-6 not workable - or so I've read on the ZFS mailing lists) The way that I believe you can add capacity to an existing RAIDZ / RAIDZ2 is as follows: (this is based directly off of their documentation: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/gcvjg?a=view) Your ZFS pool is made up of vdevs, which are in turn made up of raw disks / partitions / unicorns, other block devices. To increase the capacity of your existing pool, you simply add another vdev to it, and ZFS will intelligently start distributing the data between the two vdevs. The example, straight from their documentation (with some commentary from me) is an existing ZFS pool named rpool, which as 3 disks and is in a RAIDZ configuration # zpool status pool: rpool state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM rpool ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0 c1t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c1t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c1t4d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors Now, we want to add three *new* disks to the storage pool - to do this, we simply add a new RAIDZ device comprised of our three new disks into the existing pool: # zpool add rpool raidz c2t2d0 c2t3d0 c2t4d0 # zpool status pool: rpool state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM rpool ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0 c1t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c1t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c1t4d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0 c2t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c2t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 c2t4d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 errors: No known data errors If you're looking for more info on ZFS, I suggest looking at the Sun ZFS administration guide: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/gavwn?a=browse Particularly, the section #5, on ZFS Storage Pools: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/gavwn?a=view Charles Richards richar...@gmail.com charlesrichards.net On Jan 3, 2009, at 5:19 AM, Frederique Rijsdijk wrote: After some reading, I come back from my original idea. Main reason is I'd like to be able to grow the fs as the need develops in time. One could create a raidz zpool with a couple of disks, but when adding a disk later on, it will not become part of the raidz (I tested this). It seems vdevs can not be nested (create raidz sets and join them as a whole), so I came up with the following: Start out with 4*1TB, and use geom_raid5 to create an independent redundant pool of storage: 'graid5 label -v graid5a da0 da1 da2 da3' (this is all tested in vmware, one of these 'da' drives is 8GB) Then I 'zpool create bigvol /dev/raid5/graid5a', and I have a / bigvol of 24G - sounds about right to me for a raid5 volume. Now lets say later in time I need more storage, I buy another 4 of these drives, and 'graid5 label -v graid5b da4 da5 da6 da7' and 'zpool add bigvol /dev/raid5/graid5b' Now my bigvol is 48G. Very cool! Now I have redundant storage that can grow and it's pretty easy too. Is this OK (besides from the fact that graid5 is not in production yet, nor is ZFS ;) or are there easier (or better) ways to do this? - So I want redundancy (I don't want one failing drive to cause me to loose all my data) - I want to be able to grow the filesystem if I need to, by adding a (set of) drive(s) later on. -- FR ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
