Unsupported (?) Realtek USB WiFi dongles: RTL8188FTV and RTL8812AU
Hello @misc, While cleaning over the holidays I found and tried a bunch of USB dongles with OpenBSD (most worked just fine), hoping that perhaps I could find something to add to `sys/dev/usb/usbdevs` after having watched Stefan Sperling's EuroBSDcon 2017 talk. The ones I found that were not working with OpenBSD were two WiFi dongles with chipsets RTL8188FTV and RTL8812AU. However, after reading the urtwn(4) source with my near non-existent kernel development knowledge, I now believe that it is not as simple as just adding the device IDs and hooking them into urtwn(4) to get them working. Am I correct in this? It would have been fun to author a patch, test the devices, and improve the hardware support for everyone. For reference, please find the dmesg(8) and `usbdevs -vv` outputs below. RTL8188FTV: ugen0 at uhub0 port 7 "Realtek 802.11n" rev 2.00/0.00 addr 4 addr 04: 0bda:f179 Realtek, 802.11n high speed, power 500 mA, config 1, rev 0.00, iSerial 1CBFCECE0806 driver: ugen0 RTL8812AU: ugen0 at uhub0 port 7 "Realtek 802.11n NIC" rev 2.00/0.00 addr 4 addr 04: 0bda:8812 Realtek, 802.11n NIC high speed, power 500 mA, config 1, rev 0.00, iSerial 123456 driver: ugen0 Best regards, Pontus Stenetorp
Re: Query on openrsync(1)
On 1/10/23 03:49, Abhishek Chakravarti wrote: OpenBSD newbie here. While trying to backup my OpenBSD configs to my Arch Linux box, I noted a discrepancy between the openrsync(1) manpage examples and what I encountered. The steps to reproduce are as follows: ``` $ uname -a OpenBSD oberon.taranjali.org 7.2 GENERIC.MP#758 amd64 $ touch foo bar $ rsync -av foo bar abhishek@192.168.1.3:/home/abhishek ksh: rsync: not found $ openrsync -av foo bar abhishek@192.168.1.3:/home/abhishek Enter passphrase for key '/home/abhishek/.ssh/id_ed25519': Transfer starting: 2 files bar foo Transfer complete: 56 B sent, 187 B read, 0 B file size ``` The EXAMPLES section for the openrsync(1) specifically mention rsync and not openrsync. I did find an earlier thread related to this issue: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc=162123821229046=2 The suggestion from that thread seems to be to use the rsync package instead of openrsync. Is this still the case? And if not, shouldn't the openrsync(1) manpage examples invoke openrsync instead of rsync? Thank you for your time and consideration. I'm a big fan of rsync, and was really excited by openrsync being built into OpenBSD, but so far, it hasn't done the jobs I need it to do :-/ A few things that cause me trouble are the lack of a -H (preserve hard links -- I bet that's ugly to code), -W (disable the delta-transfer "feature". Yes, I know it was The Reason for rsync, but in my experience, it takes longer to do the delta transfers than to just send the whole bloomin' file for the vast majority of my usage. And I don't mean 5% longer -- I'm talking 400% longer sometimes. And maybe worse...unpredictable), and I'm a big fan and user of --link-dest. But ... if it does what you want, absolutely, give it a spin. If it doesn't...either install the package or grab the source code to openrsync, add what you need and submit it. :) I think there was some talk about ultimately naming it rsync, but unless it is 100% feature compatible (and I'm not sure I'd consider that a good thing), that will cause confusion in my world.

I have unbound 1.16.3 on OpenBSD 7.2, all obtained by succesive upadates (no new installation). It stopped to resolve some domains, for example qwant.com Any Idea what is happening? Thanks Rodrigo

I've played with it for few days with my ISP and that BiDI sfp works on mikrotik RB5009UG+S+IN and cisco 2960 switch. On aruba 2540 (allow unsupported transceiver), ibm switch and openbsd ix(4) it won't work. I've ordered few BiDi sfp from fs.com and maybe my ISP will lend me MaxLink sfp so I could test them in lab.

Hi all, claudio@ suggested to try same setup with FreeBSD. So I've tried FreeBSD and Linux and results are same, 1G BiDi from FS.COM coded for Cisco won't work with Intel 82599 10G card. If I boot FreeBSD and Linux with that sfp in 82599 or X710 card that interface will be disabled at boot and won't show up in OS. On OpenBSD i could see it but mac address is 00:00:00:00:00:00 I've tried all combinations with unsupported_sfp statements for FreeBSD and Linux but I couldn't see that interface in OS. If I put that sfp in card after boot status is no carrier whatever I do, at least on FreeBSD. I'm still playing with Linux.. it seems that I've missed out all football here :) it seems that I've missed out all football here

One nit that's perhaps related: $ aucat -n in.wav -o out.wav produces a stereo 24bit out.wav, as -c 0:1 -e s24 is the default. Would it make more sense with -n to preserve the characteristics of in.wav instead?

Re: Httpd shell globbing rules
it seems to be even though i have syntax error in file, config test gives me
ok. is it because it parsed single entry?
you are right if i move my default site on top it gives me that output.
are there any reason it's taking first server entry? rather than giving me 40x
error?

The domain 'ab1.sitea.com' does not match _any_ of the server entries in your
config.
In this case, the _first_ entry that matches the address and port is used, in
your case this is 'site a'.
If you add to /etc/hosts:
192.168.25.11 xyz.example
Then:
ftp -o - http://xyz.example
will show 'site a'.
So maybe you want to move your 'defaultsite' to the top of the config file.

Hi,
I am learning OpenBSD httpd and as per httpd.conf(5) in servers section i can
use ? for single character match, but i am unable to test it properly. below is
my config.
OpenBSD Version(generic)
openbsd# uname -r
7.2
/etc/httpd.conf
server "a?.sitea.com" {
listen on * port 80
root "/a.sitea.com"
}
server "b.siteb.com" {
listen on * port 80
root "b.siteb.com"
}
server "defaultsite.com" {
listen on * port 80
root "/defaultsite.com"}

at client side i have below /etc/hosts file
192.168.25.11 a.sitea.com
192.168.25.11 b.siteb.com
192.168.25.11 defaultsite.com
192.168.25.11 a1.sitea.com
192.168.25.11 ab.sitea.com192.168.25.11 ab1.sitea.com
as per httpd.conf file i should be able to match exact one character in server
"a?.sitea.com"
but when i test this way i am able to visit sitea, below are the test results
:~> curl a.sitea.com
This is site a
:~> curl a1.sitea.com
This is site a
:~> curl ab1.sitea.com -->> this should not be matched? as there are two
characters after a
This is site a

kindly help.
