 You really need to explain in detail the problem.

That's as much detail, except for the question below, that I have.

 Without these new speakers plugged in does wall powered speakers work?

Yeah, normal wall speakers work, but I gave those to my mom since these
speakers, even at full blast, only put out a tiny sound on her computer
(normal volume on mine).

 500 mA is 5 unit loads for USB 2.0, or powered hub territory.  The
 device has to request that high power mode, and the system can say no

 exactly! That is what is causing the issues. From what I can see, it
 is like it was explained before. The OS has chosen to play nice and
 request that the speakers are disabled.
 
 The power requirements will not affect the system until the speakers
 are producing sound. In other words, the system will only draw UP to
 the power input rating while in operation. At idle, I'd wager they may
 only use 1/10 of its power rating for the idle ICs and a power LED.

Only it's not the speakers that have their operation interrupted, JUST

 Just to add:
 
 When you plug in a USB device, it is a low power device (single unit
 load, 100 mA) by default.
 
 If that device wants to draw more power, it has to request high power (5
 unit loads) from the hub.  The hub can provide that power, or shut down
 the port.

I never knew that about USB ports.

 Only it's not the speakers that have their operation interrupted, JUST
 the keyboard (not even the mouse is affected).
 
 Guesses:
 
 Total power budget (but FIFO?).

I don't get that. Do you mean total power allocated to USB?

 Speaker/keyboard USB ports are on the same internal hub.

I'm not sure what you mean here. I've put the speakers on the internal,
builtin USB ports (1.x) and they work fine except keyboard starts
flaking out. I put them on the USB expansion card (which mouse and
keyboard are on because they were starting to flake out on the builtins)
with the same exact behavior.

 High-power OLED keyboard (my eyes!).

Keyboard label (if it is to be believed) is +5V 100mA. It's just a
standard keyboard with some extra multimedia keys that aren't active (a
pity, too).

 Speakers labelled 500 mA but really only a low-power USB device.

Than they shouldn't be messing with the keyboard, right?

It usually takes about an hour or so for the keyboard to settle down to
a usable state (until then, I'm doing a lot of mousing as the keyboard
is near useless).

I really don't know where to look for this. I've never even heard of USB
powered speakers until I got these (no, I don't pay much attention to
what's available unless I have a great need for it). I'm thinking I'm
just going to wait until Tuesday and get a brand new pair of
wall-powered speakers. This hassle is NOT worth it (they put out decent
sound).

 If speakers on USB 2.0 card, all else on 1.x builtins doesn't

What I don't get is that the speakers work no matter what I hook it up
to. 1.x builtins (they were recognized as 1.x by Windows, I assume they
still are seeing as how they cannot be upgraded) or 2.0 card. And no
matter what I hook up the speakers too, it messes with the keyboard,
though I had not tried to put the keyboard and mouse back on the 1.x
builtins (don't really need 2.0 speed for such devices) as they were
starting to act up on them.

 work, you might want to try a power adapter that has a USB host
 connector.  (I've seen such at Fry's, intended for devices like
 iPods that were designed to recharge their internal batteries
 from a USB port.)  This would effectively convert your current
 set to wall-powered, which might be less costly than a new set.

Perhaps, but I've been wanting a new set for a while now. The set I had
before this one was old when I got them. Last new set I had was from
Creative. Two full range satellites with a 6 1/2 omni-directional
sub-woofer for about $80; unfortunately that was ages ago. I miss them
(the satellite's died before the sub).

 WRT the suggestion to hack something together, I wouldn't suggest
 attempting it unless you're quite sure of what would be involved.

I'm fairly certain solder (rosin-core as acid-core would corrode the
contacts), electrical tape and a few prayers that I avoid the below
stated consequences (seriously, there is a +5 and +12 on my motherboard?
man I am seriously under-utilizing this thing).

 It wouldn't be exactly difficult, but getting something backwards
 -- or connecting to the +12 instead of the +5 supply -- would at
 least let all the magic blue smoke out of the speakers :)

Adding a Disk and Changing Mountpoints

Saturday I'll be adding a second 40GB and a tertiary 6GB disk to the
system (in favor of adding a CD-RW to a system that already has a DVD
super multi-format drive). I'd like to rearrange my mount points a bit.

Here is my current fstab.

# DeviceMountpoint  FStype  Options
DumpPass#
/dev/ad0s1b noneswapsw
0   0
/dev/ad0s1a /   ufs rw
1   1
/dev/ad0s1e /tmpufs rw
2   2
/dev/ad0s1f /usrufs rw
2   2
/dev/ad0s1d /varufs rw
2   2
/dev/acd0   /mnt/cdrom  cd9660
ro,noauto   0   0
linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc  linprocfs   rw
0   0

Specifically I would like to move /usr/home to the 40GB drive and
possibly move /var to the 6GB drive (depending on how the drive
behaves). I know it should be as easy as moving the relevant directories
to the new drives once the file systems have been finalized. I'm just
curious as to any issues I might need to be on the watch for (obviously
I'll be editing fstab before moving the directories, then issuing the
mount command as appropriate).

I'm doing this move specifically for space issues. My current drive
(40GB) is nearly full (I only have 2.5GB left on /usr). I wish I
wouldn't have deleted this mornings reports so I can give a run down on
specifically how much is left everywhere, but it's getting pretty full.
Once I've moved /var and /usr/home to their own disks, how can I reclaim
what has already been allocated for them? Or will that happen
automatically? Any specific concerns about that? Or would gparted and
not fdisk be my friend here?

By the way, the above is the default configuration for my system. I did
nothing to modify the default values calculated when I did the install
(I also plan on attacking my problem with jpeg that day too, running ldd
left me with a 40+KB file to sort through).

ping -c 1 google.com
PING google.com (74.125.47.103): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 74.125.47.103: icmp_seq=0 ttl=53 time=111.391 ms

--- google.com ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 111.391/111.391/111.391/0.000 ms

seeing how that's the standard output for ping, couldn't you use grep
and a regex to grab the IP either from the parenthesis or that first
line? Of course there might be an easier way and/or better tool than
ping to do this.

A good deal of these (including Scribus and GIMP and a few others I
believe) are from errors with my upgrading from jpeg-7 to jpeg-8.

I was ready for many, many days of compiling (mainly because of OOo).
Instead I'm lucky to go 36 hours total.

Why has upgrading my jpeg library completely BROKEN so many apps? I
cannot even start scribus now.

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libjpeg.so.10 not found, required
by scribus

Enough is enough. I've been trying to fix this problem on my own and I
cannot. It is not from a lack of trying or looking to solve this issue.

 In /usr/ports/UPDATING look for the 20100205 entry for users of Qt 3
 and KDE 3.

Pointless in as far as that does not address the underlying problem of
rebuilding EVERYTHING that needs to link against the jpeg library. GIMP
and gegl failed because a dependency for it is linked against jpeg-7 and
not jpeg-8.

If I cannot basically reinstall the entire system via portupgrade -a I'm
reduced to fixing the problem ad-hoc and that is unacceptable because
eventually I'll have to deal with programs that link to whatever just
got rebuilt. In essence, this is a problem that is not easily solved
just by reading /usr/ports/UPDATING for Qt because it involves more than
Qt (by the way, thanks for the hat tip on Qt, but it's not high on my
priority list for being fixed right now, GIMP, Scribus and possibly a
few other apps that I'm currently unaware of there being an issue with
ARE).

When jpeg-x (not a typo) is built, the port needs to be automatically
looking forward to see what all depends on it (and if anything depends
on that) and possibly asking the user if they want to upgrade all those
programs to ensure they link to the proper version of jpeg at all times.
Or they could all statically compile in jpeg support (as I assume FF
does because I can still see jpegs in the file upload preview pane) so
this is never an issue at all. I am currently able to manipulate any
jpeg at all (and now unable to use an increasing number of apps) which
is crippling my ability to edit images for any use.

I'm really loving FreeBSD, but I can no longer use The GIMP to open
JPEG's (and this is really the biggest issue I'm having as I need to be
able to edit jpeg's so I can continue on with designing the site on my
box, otherwise I will have to move back over to another computer (and
right now the only one available is running WinXP, something I'd rather
avoid using if I can), I cannot even launch Scribus (and a few other
apps whose names escape me at the moment). Other apps open but have
loads of errors regarding jpeg. I'm unable (as of about a month ago) to
install Filezilla because of this (it stopped launching when I upgraded
jpeg, so I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking that would work).

Every time I think I've tracked down the one other library or whatever
that something links against and needs jpeg, something new crops up and
stops me from building. Again.

Anyway, time I got off the comp. I'll be back later this evening to
finish this discussion.

 This is covered in the Adding disks section of the Storage chapter

I didn't look there because, again, I was treating this just like a

 Doesn't crash for me.  My guess is that you failed to update some other
 library that also links to jpeg.
 

Possibly. I've been tracking this problem (with other apps) forever.

avahi-libdns and mDNSResponder

2010-03-11 Thread Programmer In Training

Why oh why are there projects that provide the same functionality and
files in the same locations? These two ports, avahi-libdns and
mDNSresponder, have given me nothing but PROBLEMS when using portmaster
to upgrade (or any other tool to install something else, such as KDE4).

Those two ports, along with the issues with having upgraded from jpeg-7
to jpeg-8, are proving to be a huge headache. I'm doing my very best to
work around these issues, but I just don't know how to anymore.

Right now I'm trying to run portmaster -it graphics/gimp so I can
rebuild gimp to link against the latest jpeg (which is now jpeg-8_1 but
I'm not upgrading jpeg again, at least not yet) and make sure everything
else that depends on jpeg can link against the new one. Either I allow
gimp dependencies to build, or I encounter issues like libwebkit being
linked against jpeg-7 (what? I thought I took care of all those issues,
grrr). Or I allow all the dependencies to be rebuilt/upgraded and then
watch it fail because of needing mDNSresponder which conflicts with the
currently installed avahi-libdns (because mDNSrepsonder and avahi-libdns
apparently provide the /same exact thing/).

I cannot be the only person having problems like this.

To make this marginally on-topic, here is how the build process from
portmaster -i graphics/gimp

Twitter On FreeBSD

2010-03-08 Thread Programmer In Training

Yes, I'm still having issues.

qwit is a joke. I can post just fine but it will not retrieve my feeds
for local display. Kind of makes it useless.

Twitux won't connect.

The others seem to be command line clients (the Pidgin Twitter plugin
doesn't work, either) which I am not looking for.

Does anyone have a good, GUI (preferably GTK based but that is flexible)
client they use on a regular basis?

I'd use Tweetdeck but AIR chokes because the libxml2 version it needs
isn't found (though I do believe I have it installed, couldn't find AIR
in ports so this is a Linux binary downloaded from Adobe's site (figured
I'd give it a whirl), they do not provide Linux support):

Java in FF3.6

According to /usr/ports/UPDATING the Java plugin does not work in FF3.6.
Is this a Java issue, a FireFox issue or a FreeBSD issue? I just noticed
this today as I was going through looking through it because of the

I'm not looking to upgrade to 5.10, yet).

8.0-RELEASE-p2 Isn't There?

I did manage to get freebsd-update to run, after a sort. Now my system
identifies as

When I go to the ftp server to do any sort of updates (like using
sysinstall to install the kernel source so I can install pwcbsd via
ports), it tells me that 8.0-RELEASE-p2 isn't on the server (doesn't
matter which one I choose).

Will there be any issues if, via sysinstall, I set the release to any
(as suggested in the dialog box in sysinstall when it fails to find an
FTP server with the proper release)?

freebsd-update also has issues retrieving the proper stuff (it updated
the release, grabbed some files and then errors out):

Mouse Issues

2010-03-01 Thread Programmer In Training

Resend: Sorry if this has appeared twice before. First time sent at
11:13 CST, sent a second time at 12:43 CST. Sending this one at
approximately 21:37 CST, CCing owner because this (posting new mails to
the list) is an on going problem I'm having. I would like to know what
the problem is so I can have some hand in trying to solve it.

Now on to the problem at hand.

I'm not exactly sure what is going on here. Just about 10 minutes (more
like several hours) ago my mouse locked up and stopped responding,
eventually forcing me to reboot because I couldn't get it to start
responding again. I even had to unplug it from the USB port (it is a USB
mouse) and plug it back in because it lost power for some reason. I
tried restarting hald and dbus, figuring that was the problem, I also
tried using sysinstall to configure the mouse to no luck. I have use of
my mouse again, but my scroll wheel is no longer being recognized. I've
once again tried using sysinstall and restarting hald and dbus to no avail.

It's a fairly old (about 6-8 years) Logitech optical mouse (if I'm not
mistaken, this is one with force feedback, but I'm not concerned about
that feature).

I was actually on the phone talking with someone while trying to check
up on some messages I had received via FaceBook when the mouse went out.
At first I had thought that my computer had locked because nothing
seemed to be responding, but a quick check showed me I could still
alt+1-5 through my workspaces (keyboard is also USB and apparently
suffered no such interruption).

Both mouse and kb are on a PCI USB 2.0 expansion port because the
builtins at the back of the box are on their way out (mobo is about as
old as the mouse).

Any ideas?

 I'm not sure what you're asking.  Firefox 3.6 has been available from

As of the last time I updated ports (the 22nd) I was prevented from

Also, did not realize that 3.0.2 has only been out for a few hours. I
only check Mozilla site every so often (and the CERT site even less so).

 I would recommend that if you want updates faster than the maintainers
 check them in, you go ahead and build them yourself, but think carefully
 about how to do it.  If you build without the ports system, it can be
 difficult to remove the program again when you next wish to update.  If

That's why I'm seeking advice. I'm content to wait for the maintainers
to check them in (for the most part).

 you don't have the skills to update the port skeleton to a new version,
 you probably won't find it any easier to build the program from scratch.
 

I do, though I'm having some weird issues with freebsd-update. If I
can't resolve them myself within the next few days I'll be back here to ask.

 Nope.  For directories it's 755.  You need the x permission on a

I figured as much, but the normal files (like text files, images and the

I know the default is www:www but for some reason, when Apache installed
it defaulted to daemon:daemon with nothing being set on my part.

 What you need to do is configure the permissions based on the home

 uses for comparison, long before trying to resolve any symlinks and open
 anything on the hard-drive.

That's entirely confusing (not your explanation, just the why). Will

Well, I just changed everything referring to the userdir's in

I'd just like to thank everyone that helped me. Much appreciated! Now I
can do some ports based virtual hosts so I can put all my websites to
their own root. I believe I can handle it from here. (: Once again, a
big thank you to everyone who helped. (:

Also, to those who asked, I believe Apache 2.2 now compiles in with some
of the most common modules by default but I reinstalled with the userdir
mod as a dso, just in case.

IDE ZIP100 Drive

OK, after some searching (while not the best search engine around,
Startpage comes up a winner more often than not if there is anything
relevant to be found) I've come up (almost) empty handed[0-1].
Everything else I've found so far for IOMEGA ZIP100 drives deals with
the external drive (either USB or parallel port). I've not seen anything
in dmesg or /var/log/messages that would indicate that the device is
being detected by anything on boot aside from the BIOS. I'm not sure of
the pin selector on the drive but it is cabled as the secondary master
(the primary master being my hard drive, of course).

I did try mount_msdosfs /dev/ad1s4 /mnt/zip (zip added by me after
creating the appropriate directory in /mnt) but came up with
mount_msdosfs: /dev/adls4: No such file or directory (there is a disk
currently loaded). Does anyone else have any experience with these
drives? Are there any docs I'm missing (aside from the FreeBSD Handbook,
which is silent about this under-appreciated (and unfortunately
over-priced) device[2])?

 If you're getting 403 permission denied errors trying to access

 What you need to do is configure the permissions based on the home
 directory path returned from getpwent() -- by default under FreeBSD
 that's /home/user1/  Nevermind that much of the time /home is a symlink
 to /usr/home -- it's the path returned from the passwd file that apache
 uses for comparison, long before trying to resolve any symlinks and open
 anything on the hard-drive.

I had defined the path as Directory /usr/home/user1/public_html since
I knew that /home was a symlink to /usr/home and did not want to take
the chance of Apache having problems following the symlink. I didn't
realize that Apache takes the path from getpwent(). I now have Apache
configured and working properly.

As for the user:group setting, that was something Apache set itself when
installed (non-ports version, since the ports version wouldn't start for
me with even just the default httpd.conf and no edits at all). I can
change that and most likely will if it's very bad to have Apache running
as daemon:daemon

Problems With K3b

2010-02-20 Thread Programmer In Training

I'm trying to install k3b from ports so I might use my DVD super multi
format drive (an HP 1040i; I've already added the necessary line to
/boot/default/loader.conf for enabling dma) with either the gui or cli
but during the install of libthai (which is a dependency of kimproxy
which is a dependency of k3b) the configure script infinitely loops. Is
anyone else having this issue? I was able to add it via pkg_add -r but
encountered other problems. Apparently I hadn't compiled Qt with thread
support and another required part of kdelibs failed on that part, so I
deinstalled qt33 and began recompiling it with the intention of enabling
thread support. The compile of Qt than proceeded to fail (I've long
since closed the window but could retry it to get the specific messages
if needed). I need Qt back because I have quite a few apps that require
Qt installed (though I'm wanting to get rid of qwit, if anyone can
recommend a /good/ Twitter client for FreeBSD, I'd appreciate a private
mail with the recommendation).

Using pkg_add for k3b isn't working because I'm using a newer version of
some of it's dependencies and that apparently is causing problems (I
should have never installed Xv, I had to upgrade jpeg from jpeg-7 to
jpeg-8 and that upgrade has caused nothing but problems).

I can really do without k3b since I do have the cli tools, but I'd like
to resolve these issues (when I asked for help with flash, I was able to
update my ports collection so I have the latest available as of
yesterday) so that they aren't problems further on down the road.

I realize now that I'm going to have to learn to use the port management
tools to help prevent problems like this in the future and that's ok.
This install is supposed to be a learning experience (even if this box
has become my primary machine, unlike I had intended) and I am trying to
learn.

User Directories On FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE

I am using the non-ports version of Apache. I downloaded 2.2.14 from
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi#apache22 just a little while ago. I
compiled, installed, got it running with minimal fuss. The issue is with
my user directories (e.g. $HOME/public_html ). I uncommented the line to
include the userdir conf file in the main configuration and started
apache. I get the It Works from 127.0.0.1 (this is purely for local
testing). When I go to 127.0.0.1/~username/ I get 403 Forbidden. I've
adjusted some of the settings in the userdir conf (instead of it
pointing to /home/*/public_html as is the default I switched it to
/usr/home/*/public_html) and I still get the same message. I returned
the userdir.conf file to it's default settings (except for the path to
user dirs) with no luck. Included below is the default setup that was
installed with Apache (I enabled the settings to install the local
manual and that pulls up just fine, nothing in it points to a solution
to this issue) for the userdir conf file.

Directory /usr/home/*/public_html

Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
Limit GET POST OPTIONS
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
/Limit
LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
/LimitExcept
/Directory


Am I just having a case of the stupids here? It has been a few years
since I've managed Apache even for local testing. I've also adjusted the
permissions for that directory with no change. Also, the log files show
Apache going to /home/*/public_html instead of /usr/home/*/public_html,
basically ignoring the settings I gave it.

I've posted to the Apache mailing list with absolutely no help (and the
claim that I changed the location of $HOME)

Xorg Not Finding AGP Card

2010-01-29 Thread Programmer In Training

First time I installed FreeBSD (yes, there was a first time, I managed
to hose the root account and had to start over again) I was asked
something about whether or not my vid card was PCI or AGP. I answered
AGP (as that is all I have that is halfway decent). I had Xorg up and
running with minimum fuss (aside from it's choice of default wm even
when I had wmaker already installed), I had no such prompt this time,
which I didn't think of until now.

I've got the latest Xorg installed from ports (I think it's 7.4_2).

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-config.html

#Xorg -configure
bunch of stuff about it failing
No devices to configure. Configuration failed.

Which is a pile of malarky, obviously. It also says it cannot find
fbdev. hald and dbus are installed (although I get no such command
when I try to start dbus from the cli (despite it being a requirement
for like 50 million different packages (yes, I can nest parenthesis and
use hyperbole all day long), half of which are probably installed by now)).

I am /not/ reinstalling for this relatively minor problem, though my
patience (mainly with my lack of apparent ability) is wearing thin.

 I'm not sure why Xorg isn't seeing your video card. Do you see a device
 named agpgart in /dev?   If not, it probably means the agp module
 couldn't identify your card when you last booted the machine.  What's
 the make and model of your card, and what version of FreeBSD are you
 running?

ATI Radeon 9200 (might be just a 9K, I forget exactly),
FreeBSD-8.0RELEASE. What would have changed between first install and
this one?

Yes, agpgart is there.

 You're not supposed to start hald or dbus from the commandline like
 that.  Instead add the following lines to your /etc/rc.conf file:
 
 hald_enable=YES
 dbus_enable=YES

Already there, just seems like last time I was able to start dbus from
the cli.

 Then run the following commands from the command line:
 
 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald start
 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dbus start

which is probably how I did it before. Heh.

I've already rebooted since adding the hald and dbus lines to rc.conf

Migrating Thunderbird 3 Email Archives from XP Pro SP3 to FreeBSD 8.0

2010-01-27 Thread Programmer In Training

I've done some searching on the Thunderbird (TB) website and have posted
the question at one of their support forums, but I felt I should ask
here, too, just in case someone else has confronted this.

I only use POP3 to retrieve email (the merits of POP3 vs IMAP not
withstanding) and store locally so I have easy and offline access to it.
For about two years now I've been using XP to retrieve and check my
email, upgrading through various versions of TB without a problem. Now
I'm confronted with an issue I've not faced before (or attempted to
confront).

Transferring archives from one computer to another. I know where they
are kept on the XP machine, I /think/ I know where they are kept on my
FreeBSD box (nothing a little ls -a won't help me find). My question is
if this even possible since Mozilla Foundation went to using binary
archives for the email. I think it might be, but I'm not really wanting
to waste the time to only be frustrated in the end.

Has anyone attempted such a migration? Did you need any special tools?
If not, was it as simple as copy/pasting into the appropriate directory
structure? Or do I need to set up the accounts in TB on my FreeBSD box
/first/ then copy/paste?

TIA for reading and especially for helping (if you can)! (:

 I made the same migration in the opposite direction.  It's a straight

 archives to Windows 7 Thunderbird on a dual boot system using a USB

 Copy the contents of
 C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\.default\Mail\Local

 You could try just loading all of the wireless kernel modules and seeing
 if any of them find the hardware.  There's a list of those in the See
 Also section for wlan(4).
 
 -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA

I'm going to have to do that because the one provided by the company
that put out the card are for FreeBSD 7.0. I tried using it anyway and
the moment I went to load the kernel, it caused my computer to reboot
without warning.

It's PCI and I have no clue as to the model number anymore.

 The ifconfig program (often used as ifconfig -a) tells
 you only about NICs that are already connected to a driver.
 Most wireless NICs require loading a specific kernel module
 (which is not in the GENERIC kernel), and therefore it's
 helpful to know what exact model it is, so you can load the
 correct driver. There are of course programs that help you
 with this: pciconf -lv and usbdevs -v are common tools

Thanks, this probably wouldn't be such an issue if I hadn't thrown away
the box two-three weeks ago (at least, I think I threw it out; I've had
the card for about a two years).

 No possibility to transfer the file via wired network? Your

No. Right now I'd have to move the box halfway across the house into a
room that's already too crammed for what's in there. I have considered
just running the cable, but I'd have to do so on a day my 3 year old
nephew isn't home (one home, 8 people, don't ask) or risk all sorts of
problems (nephew tripping and hurting self (biggest concern), nephew
tripping and ripping out the cable from the connector, nephew tripping
and damaging the router (which would kill entire home network), dogs
doing same thing).

No floppy disk drive, so only safe option is to burn a CD. IF I can do
the run-to-router-with-CAT5 option, that would be ideal (and then there
would be no issue, I'd be installing ports like mad until I had the
system set up the way I want).

Forgot to mention, I don't own a USB Stick (yet). I intend to get about
two dozen 4GB models when I can (so I can start distributing my PGP Pub

Finding Drivers For winWiFi Card

This is probably the wrong place to ask, and if it is I ask your
forgiveness.

I'm browsing the FTP server for FreeBSD-8.0 packages[0] and am looking
for drivers for my winWiFi card (zonenet, unsure of chipset currently)
and realized, I'm not sure what package I would need for that. I didn't
set up eth0 (wired NIC, realtek) as that would mean lugging my box
halfway across the house into a room with no room in it for me and my
box. I figured I could just set my wireless card up after install, not
thinking I wouldn't have a clue as to what I'm doing.

Any clues as to what part of the FTP server I should be looking in? I'm
looking at the packages under net/ but looking at them they all seem to
be for someone with a working connection (icecast, nbd-server, etc).
Thoughts?

 What is listed with ifconfig(8)?  That will help determine the driver (if
 it is supported).

I hope ifconfig will help more then dmesg as I have no way of getting
