How to compile a network driver given source code

2009-02-07 Thread Amer Alhabsi 
Hi,

I have Benq Joybook R43 notebook. It has network interface based on SiS 191.
However, I can't configure it as it does not show up in ifconfig nor in
sysinstall/configure/networking/interfaces. Dmesg says: No Driver Attached.

After some search I found that someone has written a driver but it
hasn't been put int the official FreeBSD release. I want to try my
luck with the driver. My question is where to place the source code
files? and how to compile it (I assume it can be part of a kernel
rebuild if placed in the right directory)

The source code for the driver consists of the 3 files: if_sis19x.c,
if_sis19xreg.h and Makefile.

Thanks,

Amer,

Network card SiS 191 not detected

2008-10-03 Thread Amer Alhabsi 
Hi,

I have Benq Joybook R43 notebook. It has network interface based on SiS 191.
However, I can't configure it as it does not show up in ifconfig nor in
sysinstall/configure/networking/interfaces. Dmesg says: No Driver Attached.
I wonder if there is a way to get it working.

Here is part of the output of

pciconf -lv

Can't login with /var was not properly dismounted

2005-06-07 Thread Amer Alhabsi 

Hi,

My FreeBSD 5.4 machine stopped responding and I pressed the reset button
(even SSH from a different machine didn't work). After restart, I got /usr
and /var were not properly dismounted message and it hangs. I logged on in
single mode and done
fsck -y /usr as suggested in a google search. /usr was cleaned. But
when I try to do the same on /var the machine hangs. At first I thought it
was taking a long time, but there is no disk activity. Please help me so
that I can log back to the machine.

Thanks,

Amer,

PS. I run amd64 FreeBSD 5.4 release generic kernel. /var is about 1GB and
/usr is 30GB.

Press ^T to find out what state the fsck process is in.  Are there any
other messages displayed on the console before or during?

Kris

doing fsck -y /var (using signle user mode) I get
** /dev/ar0s4d
** Last Mounted on /var
** Phase 1 - Check Block and Sizes

pressing ^T right after issueing the command I get
load : 0.42  cmd: fsck_ufs 70 [physrd] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 1336k
then it hangs. It doesn't respond to further pressing of  ^T.
