ath(4) as hostap on sparc64

2007-01-23 Thread Eric van Gyzen

Does anyone have experience using an ath(4) card as a host access
point on a sparc64 machine?  Does it work?  I'm just asking before I
waste time installing, configuring, etc.

Thanks,

Eric

No solution here, instead I am having the same problem, running 6.1-RC.


If you found a solution, could you please post it here?


You can work around this problem by removing R 2.2.1 before building R 2.3.0.

I'll fix the port as soon as I have time.

Boy, do I feel dumb.  Upon closer inspection of TFM (of RTFM fame), I realized 
that this drive only supports DVD+R/RW media.  I popped in an Imation DVD+R 
media and -- Holy Smoke! -- it burned on the first try.

*sigh*

DVD Burning

2003-12-23 Thread Eric van Gyzen
I have:

 - FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE
 - HP DVD Writer 300i (ATAPI, using ATAPICAM)
 - Imation DVD-R media

I'm trying:

  # growisofs -speed=1 -Z /dev/cd0=/tmp/foo.iso
  :-[ Unit won't start: 40901 ]
  :-( /dev/cd0: unsupported MMC profile 10

  # dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/cd0 
  INQUIRY:[HP  ][DVD Writer 300c ][7H29]
  GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION:
   Mounted Media: 10h, DVD-ROM
  READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]:
   Media Book Type:   01h, DVD-ROM book [revision 1]
   Legacy lead-out at:0*2KB=0
  - [unable to READ DISC INFORMATION(33001)]: Invalid argument

Does the second command really think the media is a read-only DVD-ROM?

I have also tried dvdrtools.  I can send the output if it might help.

Thanks in advance!

Re: NIS stealing low-numbered ports?

2003-08-20 Thread Eric van Gyzen
Aaron,

I am having similar trouble with 5.1.  For me, rpc.lockd is eating up 
all my low (privileged) udp ports.  You can tell the system to use a 
different range for low ports.  Use the sysctl command and tweak the 
net.inet.ip.portrange.lowlast variable.  By default, it sets the 
lower bound for privileged ports to 600.  You might increase it past 
631 to ensure that no process snatches it up.  Of course, you would 
have fewer privileged ports, which might create problems on a busy 
machine running NIS (which is the situtation that brought this 
problem to my attention).

Cheers,
Eric

pkg_add(1) logic

2002-10-28 Thread Eric van Gyzen
The following error message from pkg_add(1) doesn't make sense [to me]:

amelia:/var/db/pkg# pkg_add -r bash
Fetching ftp://blah/packages/Latest/mysql-client.tgz... Done.
pkg_add: package 'mysql-client-3.23.52' or its older version already 
installed
amelia:/var/db/pkg# ls -d mysql-client*
mysql-client-3.23.49

Yes, that's correct: an /OLDER/ version is installed.  I would like to 
update to the version on the ftp server.  That's why I ran pkg_add.  Why 
does it not update the package without the -f flag?  I realize that there 
is now a pkg_update command, but it lacks the ability to fetch packages -- 
and their dependencies -- remotely.

Would anyone like to explain this logic?

Thanks.

Eric
