Re: Why FreeBSD not popular on hardware vendors

[Ole Vole]

If only 3D or super-high-speed has been affected by this driver. Regrettably 
most application simple is not usable, like video-players, google-earth, 
KDE4 - all of that on my desktop station with  4Gb of RAM is looksworks 
like nightmare in vesa (xorg nv)-driver. And me too a very long time waiting 
for news from NV/BSD team.

  there is mention of progress on this page

 most freebsd users don't need 3D at all, or don't need super-high-speed
 3D.

 so simply don't use nvidia/ati

Asus eeepc, Freebsd-head, problem with ath/wifi driver

[Ole Vole]

Hello maillist!

I trying setup FreeBSD according Wiki notes http://wiki.freebsd.org/AsusEee 
and get system without ath Wi-Fi devices (Fn+f2/Bios settings for Wifi: 
Enabled)

buildin/install kernel/world from 20081120 snapshot FreeBSD-CURRENT with/or 
patching from madwifi.org-project  ( http://snapshots.madwifi-
project.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3875-20081105.tar.gz ) 
(old link http://snapshots.madwifi-project.org/special/madwifi-ng-
r2756+ar5007.tar.gz is wrong) with extracting hal/ to 
/usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/ath/ and recompile the kernel  


Also, trying to test http://people.freebsd.org/~sam/ath_hal-20081028.tgz

As result from attemps is string in dmesg:
ath_hal: 0.10.5.6 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, AR5416, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, 
RF5413, RF2133, RF2425, RF2417)

but ifconfig show only LAN ale0 Ethernet interface. 

On the list pciconf i see Ralink Technology, Corp devices but iy without 
drivers.

What is wrong here? Thanks!
