hi.

i want to know where to search for people, who are knowing about film-printer and 
raster technology.
i have a polaroid CI5000S and want to know, if theres a driver for freebsd, and how 
the device can work under freebsd.
I don't know anything about it, however, I think that model has both 
scsi and parallel interface.  You can only use the parallel interface 
under freebsd.  If you have a .ppd file you may be able to use the 
printer properly under the CUPS printing system.

Re: arp messages: Why is this happening?

2003-06-13 Thread Mark Atkinson
This is probably a DHCP network?  This would happen if a client gets a 
new DHCP assigned IP address, instead of it's old one, and before the
freebsd boxes' ARP cache expired for that machine.  Usually this only 
happens with:

- broken DHCP clients (not requesting it's old ip back upon reboot).
- broken DHCP servers (not maintaining lease state properly to
   assign clients their old addresses)
- tight DHCP address spaces (ie. the DHCP server must reuse previously
 leased IP addresses to accomodate
 new DISCOVERS).
or a combination of the above.

Either that or you have a whole bunch of machines that use gratuitous
ARP to advertise the new interfaces in a failover situation.

Googling doesn't seem to give me a good answer as to why.
This is 4.8-STABLE

Re: Reading an unknown DAT Tape

 This is a case of idle curiosity and not an urgent need to
 recover a valuable backup. I found an old DAT tape and attempted
 to read it on the very drive that probably once wrote it and it
 appears to read the tape properly in that I can use dd to copy it
 to a file and mt fsf 5, for example, takes the tape to the fifth
 file marker so there is sanity.
 
 Tar, however, does not recognize the format of the archive so it
 is either something proprietary or I am not using the correct
 utility on it.
 
 I opened it with dd files=2 if=/dev/sa0 of=testfile and then did
 the strings utility on testfile and got:

 I wondered about it being a dump(8) file, but just tried one and 
 strings output looked a little different.
 
 How about a db of some sort or a log from some lab test?

 Note that we are obviously able to read data from the tape as the
 top few lines are readible as words. The time stamps at the
 bottom are possibly not time stamps as some of them are not
 plausible.
 
 The dd command never faltered with errors although I did finally
 stop it manually.
 
 Is there any FreeBSD utility that can tell more about what
 created the original archive?
 
 Thank you.

A quick check of Google with the strings you dumped points at
Microsoft Tape format.   Possibly from the win2k utility.

   Anyone tried the data tethering feature on the Android phones?

I have, it works.  Attaching via usb in the proper mode should attach
the umodem device which you can then use the published serial device
with the userland ppp(8).   Defining the correct section name for
tethering can be a little daunting however.

Google for things like 'telstra GSM ppp.conf' or such and then you just
have to convert any linux scripts you find into freebsd ppp.conf.   If
you're lucky you may find freebsd specific configurations.  Or, someone
on the list may have one to share.

Re: Tyan K8WE (S2895) Status

 Hello
 all.  Can anyone with the afore-mentioned motherboard relate their
 experiences?  I'm particularly interested in how it runs FreeBSD amd64
 with two Opteron dual-core 2xx chips (it seems you need both chips in
 order to see all mobo devices since buses are connected to one or the
 other cpu socket via hypertransport link), and whether recent releases or
 -current can see all ethernet ports and PCI (incl. -X and e)
 slots with ACPI enabled/disabled.  Has anyone tried the new BIOS
 update?  S2895's not EOL'd yet - though availability is getting
 sketchy...

I'm running two single core 252's on it, and I haven't run amd64 on it, but
it should be fine.  I've running 32bit kernels/world on it just great on
the 105 (not E) bios.  nfe0 and 1 work great, even the on-board raid works:

ar0: 238475MB nVidia MediaShield RAID1 status: READY
ar0: disk0 READY (master) using ad6 at ata3-master
ar0: disk1 READY (mirror) using ad4 at ata2-master

tracking 8-current on it presently.

However, I don't use any video in it at all, only the serial console.  So I
can't attest to that.

  What do you guys think?

You can try the following ( I believe this is in 8-STABLE )

echo 'hw.mca.enabled=1'  /boot/loader.conf

and reboot.   If it's hardware supported machine check exception, then
you may see which component has an issue on the console in the machine
check output.
