Re: trunk + loadbalance
What hashed protocol means exactly?, how can i test the loadbalance of trunk? From Wikipedia: A hash function [1] is a reproducible method of turning some kind of data into a (relatively) small number that may serve as a digital fingerprint of the data. So the packets get their fingerprint taken, depending if the fingerprint follows into the A catgeory or B category it would get routed to NIC A or NIC B. You could try spoofing the MAC address to see if that toggled the category. As you are probably noticing all traffic is getting sent to the same NIC because it's hash value (aka fingerprint) doesn't change. Hopefully this explanation was accurate and useful. I'm not really an expert and have never used trunk but I think I know what is meant in this case. Cheers, James

plan 9 from user space compiling issue

Connecting to Airport Extreme Basestation with ural
Hi, I can't seem to get WEP to work with my Airport Extreme Base Station (i believe the model known as SNOW :{) and my Linksys Wireless G WUSB54G ver. 4 which is detected and supported using the ural(4) driver. Its really great that OBSD supports as many devices as it does. The AEBase Station is loaded with firmware version 5.7 Unencrypted works well with the Base Station or if you prefer AP. I can connect at 54Mbps and lower. When i enable the WEP key on the base station and run ifconfig the status line says No Network. I've tried many different combinations of settings such as specifiying the channel, BSSID and nwid when connecting. The result is always that my network connection is not active. Do i need to enable some cryptographic support in the OS? I'm running a brand new install and am definitely a neophyte still. This behaviour has happened with 40bit WEP and 128bit WEP. I know that WEP sucks but I don't want to leave a computer on 247 to encrypt the traffic on my home wireless network from passerbys. Cheers, Jamex
Re: Connecting to Airport Extreme Basestation with ural
Hi, here is my broken WEP hostname.ural0 file: media DS11 mode 11b nwkey testpassword9 inet 10.0.1.5 255.255.255.0 10.0.1.255 my working hostname.ural0 file is : $ cat /etc/hostname.ural0 media DS11 mode 11b inet 10.0.1.5 255.255.255.0 10.0.1.255 i've tried with Hex keys as well and no dice. Can anyone share any success stories? Cheers, James On 5/7/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Unencrypted works well with the Base Station or if you prefer AP.

From what you've described, it sounds like you're forgetting to specify the wep key on the openbsd machine. This is the relevant portion from the ifconfig man page: nwkey key (IEEE 802.11 devices only) Enable WEP encryption for IEEE 802.11-based wireless network interfaces using the speci- fied key. The key can either be a string, a series of hexadecimal digits (preceded by `0x'), or a set of keys of the form ``n:k1,k2,k3,k4'' where `n' specifies which of the keys will be used for transmitted packets, and the four keys, ``k1'' through ``k4'', are configured as WEP keys. If a set of keys is specified, a comma (`,') with- in the key must be escaped with a backslash. Note that if multiple keys are used, their order must be the same within the network. For IEEE 802.11 wireless networks, the length of each key is restricted to 40 bits, i.e. a 5-character string or 10 hexadecimal digits. Wave- LAN/IEEE Gold and newer Prism cards will also accept a 104-bit (13-character) key
OT: X.org bug ( can someone enlighten me ? )
Hi, I don't understand this piece of code: if (getuid() == 0 || geteuid() != 0) Why check if the geteuid() != 0 if we are only wanting to root to run the block inside the if statement? My reasoning is that if geteuid != 0 then the statement evaluates to true and the code block gets run just like the statement evaluates to true if the process does have uid of 0. This doesn't make sense to me. Can anyone draw a better diagram to help me make some sense of this? James
