Re: Creating a 10km wireless bridge...pointers?
Just take some advice from the owner of a WISP... and a FreeBSD user. if your only trying to get connectivity a less then 500 USD this is easily accomplished buy a couple high end radios with built in antennas, Ubiquiti PowerStations come to mind, place 1 at each end of the link if line of sight is close to good, your done.

Re: Creating a 10km wireless bridge...pointers?
I'm looking for general pointers of both hardware and software to achieve this. I'd like to employ FreeBSD as much as is feasible. This there are LOT of wireless bridges that can do if proper antennas are used. depending of where you are it may be not legal (output power*antenna gain can't be 100mW), like in EU (but nobody usually cares and controls), in US it is legal. Do not use any afterburners giving power in watt range. Normal 30-100mW output are OK. Example: Smartbridges 2.4Ghz WiFi radios (they are built to be used externally)+25dB grid antennas - worked at about real 4Mbit/s in 24km over the sea with large operating margin. It was 11Mbps only radios. But there are lot of method to do this. i think something like 50km is achievable.

Re: Creating a 10km wireless bridge...pointers?
Depending upon what your budget is, Tranzeo has some excellent wireless products that are ideal for point-point links. Encryption is built-in and they can be configured for point-point or point-multipoint (just in case the project expands). One problem that you may run into, if both sides of the link are close to the ground, is the fresnel zone. If one side is higher than the other, this shouldn't be a problem. Two self contained POE radios with built-in antanna should run you about $500 and they can be mounted on standard satellite dish arms. I've also used mikrotik products and have generally been very happy with them. There is a ton of functionality and I actually use two of them for my core routers at my current job. I think for this project they are overkill and there is quite a bit of a learning curve to get them up and running. If you don't plan on deploying anything else, I think that you will find that the tranzeo's are a simpler solution.

Many problems that are seen after a portupgrade -R will go away after after a portupgrade -a, so why waste time in debugging them.

Re: Creating a 10km wireless bridge...pointers?
NOTE: could you please do break lines properly on your posts? answering your mails is not easy. Depending upon what your budget is, Tranzeo has some excellent wireless products that are ideal for point-point links. Encryption is built-in and they can be configured for point-point or point-multipoint (just in case the project expands). One problem that you may run into, if both sides of the link are close to the ground, is the fresnel zone. which is not dependent from manufacturer, but physics, and more important in lower frequency. Calculations are easily found in the net. and there are few meters to be counted too because earth is not flat. If one side is higher than the other, this shouldn't be a problem. Two self contained POE radios with built-in antanna should run you about $500 and they can be mounted on standard satellite dish arms. it works if done precisely enough :) I've also used mikrotik products and have generally been very happy with them. There is a ton of functionality and I actually use two of them for my core routers at my current job. I think for this project they are overkill and there is quite a bit of a learning curve to get them up and running. If you don't plan on deploying anything else, I think that you will find that the tranzeo's are a simpler solution. -- generally - simple radio bridges. you put one to DSL router, and other to computer/switch. that's all. ___ 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

They call them compressed folders (don't confuse with NTFS compression though) and even have a silly wizard-like interface for extracting files from them. If you don't like it you can always install WinZip to take over this function. I've seen WinZip and my stomache reported to me. :-) Much better is the FAR Manager which handles zip archives (and many others) just like directories, like the Midnight Commander does. It's typical for MICROS~1 to make things more complicated than they need to be, and invent new names for already known stuff. The next time someone mentions compressed folders I will know what he's talking about, and show him some (real) folders I have compressed to 10cm x 10cm x 10cm handy sized cubes. :-) More off-topicness: The compressed folders thingy is called like that because it's implemented as a very stupid rudimentary kind of a userland file system. Some tools - mostly Microsoft ones - really treat them like folders ... almost. The almost qualifier is because while they really sometimes appear like folders, they are not normal folders in that you cannot do almost any operations on the files in there except copy-to and copy-from, and that includes file content / icons preview. The most stupid part is that the support is built-in in the shell, not OS-wide, so applications that do (to translate to POSIX) readdir() instead of calling the shell to do it for them, treat them as files. Mostly this behaviour is annoying, if only because the built-in search tool (which works like find) does know about the special folders and, if you're searching something from the shell in a folder that has actual ZIP files, it will search *within* those zip files, which is extremely slow. A good, free (as in speech) Windows archiving utility for multiple archive formats (including zip, gzip and bzip2) is 7-zip: http://www.7-zip.org/ , which also has a POSIX variant that supports its own file format: http://p7zip.sourceforge.net/ . signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

ipfw, pf and ALTQ on outbound traffic? (or: The net is slow when I upload!)
Greetings, Is there a general how-to, or a set of coherent instructions, for shaping outbound traffic such that when I upload something over my asymmetric cable-modem pipe, doing so doesn't completely kill my Web browsing or any other attempts to use my Internet connection? (To put it another way: When I max out my upstream, and my upstream is capped lower than my downstream, my downstream becomes useless and I am forced to wait until the upload finishes before I can resume using the downstream. This is a problem, and I'd like to solve it.) I have looked at various ALTQ + pf setups on the Web, but I have one caveat. I use FreeBSD 6.4 on my home gateway, and it is also using the default natd server, which relies on an ipfw divert rule. I don't know if this matters, or if I need to switch from natd to a pf-based NAT setup. Should I use *just* ipfw, or should I switch everything to pf (including NAT services) and go from there?

Something like: LAN-BSDrouter-modem-Antenna~~air~~Antenna-modem-DSL I'm looking for general pointers of both hardware and software to achieve this. I'd like to employ FreeBSD as much as is feasible. This is my first WAN network project, so even newbie pointers and general references would be much appreciated. (Hardware suggestions, books to read, etc.) Reliability is of mild concern, simply because I don't want to drive 10km at 3:00am when something breaks. Tips? References? Advice? I suggest downloading Wireless Networking in the Developing World in language of choice from http://wndw.net/download.html .. a great read, good coverage of theory and lots of practical advice. If you're on a budget, a couple of (say) Dlink or Cisco APs - something with decent external antenna connectors anyway - in bridge mode with two yagi or helical antennae with = 12dBm gain should do 10km line of sight easily. With +15dBm antennae you should get (at least lower) 11g rates, and if you can afford 20+dBm dish grid antennae, so much the faster. Might be worth checking out /usr/ports/net/olsrd (http://www.olsr.org/) As others have said - avoid amplifiers, spend most on good antennae and cables, as short and fat as is practicable. You'll likely want short pigtails between the wireless card or bridge and the longer fat leads. cheers, Ian ___ 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

I then created the following 2 symlinks : /compat/linux/etc/pango/pango.modules - /compat/linux/etc/pango/i686-redhat-linux-gnu/pango.modules /compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules - /compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules-32 Then I ran /compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules as root, which populated pango.modules. Once that happened, to my surprise, acroread fired up and ran seamlessly. It still gives the warning about the missing libgnomebreakpad.so, like all other linux inherited applications do, but that appears to be harmless. Thanks for all the help.

And give output of two commands from those URLs. And try to not top-post. Otherwise you yourself won't understand the email. Gtk-Message: Failed to load module gnomebreakpad: libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (acroread:41717): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means there was an error in the creation of: '/etc/pango/pango.modules' You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules. (acroread:41717): Pango-CRITICAL **: _pango_engine_shape_shape: assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed Pango-ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs-num_glyphs 0) aborting... [1]+ Exit 1 acroread 'locate libgnomebreakpad' gives : /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgnomebreakpad.la /usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgnomebreakpad.so So, these would be the FreeBSD versions of the library and not the linux ones, which would be the ones acroread would be looking for. However this does not seem to a fatal error. linux-ymessenger also reports the same error but loads and runs successfully. Effectively, I am left with the pango error, which is fatal indeed and I have no idea how to get around. I would give up on acroread and try something else but for 2 reasons : 1) acroread is more sophisticated than anything else available 2) this has partly become an ego issue at my end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
