FreeBSD + parallel port = virtual printer?

2003-03-08 Thread Nick Sayer
Does anyone have any experience trying to get the FreeBSD parallel port driver to emulate a printer? I have a device that outputs postscript print jobs to a printer, and I'd like to capture those jobs with a nearby FreeBSD machine and pass them into lpr. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL

5.3 RC2 sendmail problem

2004-11-06 Thread Nick Sayer
Something is very wrong with sendmail in 5.3RC2. Under 5.2.1, my sendmail config, which is simply the default, plus a SMART_HOST worked fine. Under 5.3RC2, attempts to get to the smart host result in 'host name lookup failure'. In searching the archives, I note I am not the first to bring this

ICH8 chipset support?

2006-07-22 Thread Nick Sayer
I just upgraded my machine at home to a Conroy-ready motherboard - An Asus P5B. This particular motherboard has the smallest fraction of recognized devices I think I've ever come across. From what I can tell, the blame can be placed squarely on the Intel ICH8 chipset that supplies almost

I've gotten a little bit further in trying to get the ICH8 (P965) chipset on my new machine recognized. This page is quite helpful: http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=8086 Using it, I added some code to ata-chipset.c to recognize the ICH8 SATA controllers and ehci_pci.c and uhci_pci.c to

7.0-RELEASE panics in ip_output

2008-03-08 Thread Nick Sayer
Since upgrading to 7.0-RELEASE, I seem to get a panic about once a week or so. I have 6to4 set up on this machine, and the stack trace I get from kgdb usually looks something like this: #0 doadump () at pcpu.h:195 #1 0xc062e2a7 in boot (howto=260) at /usr/src/sys/kern/
