10/100/1000 Fast Ethernet CardBus for openbsd
Hello, Is there anyone using a gigabps cardbus for your laptop ? I am trying to setup a router/VPN router using my old thinkpad under openbsd 6.6. I found D-Link DGE-660TD 10/100/1000 Gigabit Cardbus Adapter in the internet. Is it supported by openbsd ? Thanks. Clarence

Well as it turns out, my key was intact :) As it turns out, my passphrase didn't actually change at all, and every time I tried to enter it, I was in dvorak mode, where I typed it in qwerty originally. This will doubtlessly be my embarrassment of the year, but it does feel like a mountain has been lifted from my shoulders. Phew. Fossforus

This should be supported by the re(4) driver. https://man.openbsd.org/re.4 A trick is to google for "site:man.openbsd.org DGE-660TD" and see what man pages come up as containing the model number you're looking for.

Some people, most likely secret services working for corporations tried many times to make obstacles to his work including (but not limited to): 1) Electromagnetic attacks on his computer which made its work slower, buses could not operate on full speed, network worked at 100 mbits instead of 1 gbits, many devices failed to work. Sometimes it was even difficult to boot the system after several continuous power cycles, it did not depend on a specific hardware operability, the same happened even if the hardware was replaced. 2) Targeted EMI attacks on his disk, most likely some wrong data was injected into SATA channel which was always noticed by ZFS pool and sometimes even led to pool crash. The same happen at his job to backup and mail server. Shorter SATA cables helped to stop this. 3) Attacks on chips in new SATA controller most likely via radio channel led to a half of the pool mirrors lost temporary 4) Video records in zone minder were deleted periodically 5) Many voice records available including today when his mother indicated pain in her body 6) On Russian forums these criminal morons threaten him for his mother health. It is called ganstalking against targeted individuals. According to Russian laws almost each episode of their activity shall be punished by bringing them to prison for a few years. And taking into account this a group of people - a criminal band and very many episodes, they must be jailed for the whole their life to avoid hurting lawful people. They shall be deported from Russia and never allowed to return back. The information discussed here about Intel CPUs is taken from public forums, he did not stole it from an Intel laboratory. Almost anyone using X86 hardware threatens its own country national security in favor of western financial security, since corruption in Russia is often supported and defended by secret services operating backdoors in popular computers in their own interests just to cover stealing money from the country.
re: fw_update verify firmware?

He does not assert, but rather trying to find a truth which is very difficult in a security area because most agencies trying to hide such info and even often promote intentional misleading false on this topic. > It's not our job to turn you into a security expert. Nobody's trying to force you to share knowledge, it is on your own will, up to you. If someone else would ask that questions would you take it easier? > If you value the work that OpenBSD does to protect your security, use it. > If you don't, use something else. As it is obvious from a discussion he still evaluating OpenBSD, that is the reason of his many questions. > Please. We aren't here to win you over. Actually it does not matter for him win you him or not, he just wants to make a good choice, though it seems there is no other variants for him except paid grsec + his time spent on hardening the whole installation with grsec. Btw, an idea of hardening processes by their own declaration like unveil, pledge, etc. looks very nice. >Some of us are kinda tired of your flood of queries asking for yet another >opinion on often and widely discussed topics. It is very hard times now when shameless corporations attack single persons, thanks for understanding, he is his line of defense. > ...and you won't find much modern hardware that it works on. He does NOT need much hardware also he does NOT need modern hardware and he does NOT need a shiny superfast desktop. Very slow secure OS on a very slow ancient hardware which can protect him is many many times better than any modern super expensive server if it would be even a free gift. > Oh, btw...if I recall properly, a lot of CPU security fixes are > distributed as firmware microcode updates that have to be loaded by the > OS. So... being inappropriately paranoid about firmware could compromise > your security. Especially if new backdoors (e.g. for rooting CPUs) are added in new microcode versions? He does not trust any modern X86 CPUs with a firmware update or not. May be using a full software emulator can improve security? Say if running a very slow full software emulation of a rare CPU like Motorolla or MIPS on Librebooted X86 CPU host like Core2 QUAD 9500 or something like it, would it be more secure inside a emulated MIPS guest to run OpenBSD than on a bare metal X86?
