USB Stack/# of bytes to read?

All, I have a couple of quick questions about the USB stack in 8.x that I'm hoping someone with a bit more experience than I can answer. I am currently working on a device driver for a Velleman K8055 board. Basically, it does digital and analog I/O under the control of a PC via USB. I've

FIONREAD behavior possible on uhid?

All, I recently picked up a Velleman K8055, which is basically a Digital and analog I/O board that connects to a PC via a USB connection. So far, its worked fine w/FreeBSD, the uhid driver picks it up, and a simple cat /dev/uhid0 will start pulling the 8 bytes that represent the inputs

if_bridge and VMware....

I'm in the process of doing something that is possibly a bit out of the ordinary with VMware. I have two stand alone PCs connected to a catalyst 2900 doing 802.1q trunking. I can configure the VLAN interfaces on the stand alone PCs, assign IP addresses, and communicate happily. I then add a PC

Mapping USB ugen 802.11g adapter to ndis

All, I have a USB 802.11g (DLINK) adapter that I would like to use to access a wireless network. I've been able to download the Windows drivers, convert them in to the kernel module, and load the module. However, when I plug the adapter in, the ugen driver picks it up.

Looking for a cookbook on Oracle clients...

All, I have a task that requires I extract a data set from a MySQL server, and push it on to an Oracle (9i) server. I figured I'd go the ODBC route, and installed unix_odbc_driver and its dependencies. However, its pretty clear that I don't fully understand what I'm doing, and

Suggestions for embedded systems... ?

All, I've been browsing the FreeBSD site looking for a system I can embed in the car. Optimally, it will do video output via a RCA cable (ala your VCR) so I can plug it in to one of the new Alpine radios with an AUX in. Input will probably come via a USB gaming pad (arrow keys, a few

On the switch side of things I'm using a Cisco 3550 runing layer3 code, I've had this working before with a em driver (on another box) but my setup was a little different then so I'm pretty sure the switch isnt at fault? Is the vr interface capable of sending 1500 byte MTUs? Its not in the

ICH7 w/multiple ar devices?

All, I've recently just picked up a couple of new boxes that come with a Tyan motherboard that has an ICH7[r, I believe] on the motherboard. I installed 2x500GB drives, and discovered that the card will allow me to put multiple arrays on the disk. For chuckles, I put a 100GB mirror (RAID

VMware 5.5 w/FreeBSD as host OS?

All, I'm just curious, given the Linux support, if anyone is running VMware 5.5 with FreeBSD as the host operating system. VMware claims they don't support it, but history has repeatedly shown me that not supported is not the same as doesn't work. Feedback? -B

Setting up VLAN interfaces with Cisco gear... getting traffic on broadcast only...

Update: Setting up VLAN interfaces with Cisco gear... getting traffic on broadcast only...

I hate to add to my own issue. I did some more playing and VLANs != 1 seem to work ok (typically in the 100-150 range). However, operating on VLAN 1 still seems to be an issue. -B All, I've got three Catalyst 6500s configured in a switching domain via fiber, with one hub

NFS hangs (client) when rebooted server tries to [re]mount filesystem

All, I'm seeing an odd problem while using a FreeBSD system as a Solaris jumpstart system. If I run a client box through the process, its fine the first time. However, if there is an error, or I'm testing, subsequent passes hang up right around the time it should be trying to do an NFS

Simple PAM authentication code?

Could someone point me at a short, straight forward bit of code that validates a given username and password via PAM? I've tried writing a short app to make sure PAM is working the way I want to locally, but no matter how good the info, I'm getting an authentication denied, so I know I'm missing

Debugging Apache with mod_auth_pam2 on 5.4

Getting a Netgear WG511T recognized on 5.4/6.0...

Sendmail relaying from remote domains?

I realize this question is probably best served by the sendmail mailing list, but whereas I've added the Spam Assassin filter, I'm hoping to find a larger community here that is running FreeBSD + sendmail + SpamAssassin who have handled this, so I don't have to ask the question in 3 places :) The

Recommendations for All-in-One device?

I'm currently in the market for an All-in-One device for the home network, mostly for the fax functionality (it'll be replacing an Canon scanner and Okidata 810e laser printer). Before anyone suggests their favorite FreeBSD Fax modem/app, I'll let it be known that I've been told that the

HP AMD64 booting problems...

I recently picked up an HP5460 AMD64 laptop, and I recently wanted to try FreeBSD on it. Unfortunately, both the x86 and AMD64 versions will not boot, actually shutting the power down shortly after the kernel finishes loading. I've tried 5.3 and 4.8 with similar results, also cycling through

Need help getting NIS authentication working w/5.1

I'm having some problems getting NIS working with 5.1. Historically, I'd set up ypbind, add +: to the user database, and I was off and running. Not so, it appears, in 5.1. My understanding is that the servers are NIS+, although I do not have all of the details. I'm able to get ypbind to

I just searched the mailing list for this, and didn't find anything, so I figured I'd ask. I just installed 5.1-RELEASE on my laptop, reloaded my script that sets up my Cisco wireless card, ran it, and BAM! no networking. Upon inspection, it would appear that when using LEAP as the

Changes to libfetch in 5.0 break proxy support?
