kern/94369: [bktr] [patch] Patch to support Leadtek WinFast Tv2000 XP bktr card
Hi. I have one of these cards. I notice the PR is open - does this mean the patch was not committed? Is there anything I can do to get eyeballs on this? I've never compiled from source or applied a diff but if it needs testng and someone's willing to give me a basic outline of the procedure I'll see if I can avago.

Re: Installing Samsung CLX-2160 color laser printer on USB using CUPS
On Sat, 25 Feb 2012 23:03:58 +0100 Polytropon articulated: I _never_ would buy a USB printer, and I would also never buy something that doesn't talk PS (or at least PCL). Both PS and to a lesser extent PCL are becoming passé. You might want to seriously consider PDF. The better Brother printers fully support it as do some of the better printers from other manufacturers. You might want to check out http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting for further details. The PS format is going to become considerably less important in a relatively short time in my estimation. By the way, have you considered a USB to Ethernet adapter? Totally untested with a printer, but it might work quite well. If it works, you could plug it into a wireless router and print from anywhere sans nasty cables, etcetera. I print wirelessly, and I love it. It just works and it makes my life simpler. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

Re: Email issues, relay failure, perhaps Jails is causing it.
--As of February 26, 2012 8:20:14 AM +0100, Bernt Hansson is alleged to have said: http://www.uk.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/jails.html Have you tried to telnet into the other jailed hostnames and ip-addresses, like telnet rt3.* 25 What does it say? Can you connect? There seems to be either a jail problem or a routing problem You can look at your routing table with netstat -r --As for the rest, it is mine. This is my strong suspicion as well. To separate out what the problem is: 'su' to root in the jailed system. Shut down postfix. (`postfix stop`, or `/etc/rc.d/postfix stop`) Then run `nc -l 25`. This will echo anything that comes in on port 25 direct to your terminal. Then try telneting to it. If it works, the problem is postfix. If it doesn't, restart postfix and ignore it: It's not the problem. Daniel T. Staal --- This email copyright the author.
