installing freebsd on a thinkpad x300

2011-03-18 Thread Alokat 

Hi,

I have successfully installed FreeBSD on my x300 but I have some driver 
problems.


Does someone know how to figure out which driver I need for the sound 
and the wlan card?
And the second point is: does someone know a GUI network manager I can 
use for xfce4?


Regards,
alokat

For the sound^{1}, try loading the
$ su -
passwd:
# kldload snd_driver

then do a
# cat /dev/sndstat

and that should guide you as to which driver you need.

For the wlan, you can do a
# ifconfig wlan0 list scan
and see if you can get some information and if you encounter
difficulties,  you may refer to ^{2}

This one is a bit more harder to answer, I am not sure if there is
networkmanager in the ports?

The sound card should be snd_hda(4):

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=snd_hdaapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+8.2-RELEASEformat=html

Here's a document detailing sound configuration:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html

The wireless device driver should be iwn(4):

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwnapropos=0sektion=0manpath=FreeBSD+8.2-RELEASEformat=html

Please refer to the handbook for configuration instructions:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html

There are (at least) a couple from ports you can try:

http://www.freshports.org/net/pcbsd-netmanager
http://www.freshports.org/net/wpa_gui/

I remember at one time testing a GTK-based utility, but I can't seem
to dredge up the name of it from memory ATM...

Good luck,
