Thanks a lot Sephe, I switched to onoe and I am waiting to see whats the
stability like. Could you summarize the difference between amrr and 
onoe?


AMRR will try to probe higher rate more often than ONOE.  Sometimes
the probing rate is wrong, then in that second, most TX will be
retried or even fail. If the probing keeps failing, then AMRR will be
degenerated to ONOE for sometime.  Since acx111 part of acx(4)
supports limited multi-rate retry, the situation will not be that bad
though.



One of my previous emails listed 3 different atheros chipsets, could you
please tell me if they can be handled by the ath driver?


The card using Ath SuperG chip is supported, as far as I can tell.

Thanks,
I purchased the Netgear WG311T which is supposed to have 5212, so when i 
get it im gonna replace my current card which has a TI in it. Did you 
get my email with the logs?

structure has no member named `kp_eproc'

2007-05-14 Thread Petr Janda

Hi,
I'm trying to compile net-snmp from SVN applying the pkgsrc patches and 
I can't seem to figure out why its failing on this error. What's the  
meaning of this error and how to fix it?


Thanks,
Petr

You didn't tell us which struct, that should be included in the error 
message, so it's hard to tell. But my guess is that there's some 
structure that contains information about the system (used to pass data 
between the application and the kernel). That structure looks something 
like this:


struct foo {
  int bar;
  int baz;
  char* forbar;
}

However in some earlier version or on some other system that struct 
looks different (and the application is not aware of this), some thing 
like this:


struct foo {
  int bar;
  int baz;
  int kp_eproc;
  char* foobar;
}

So when you try to compile the code that assumes that the struct has a 
member kp_eproc but in reality it does not you get that error message.


A question: If you applied patches from pkgsrc does that mean that the 
program is in pkgsrc and in that case, why not use it?

and this is the part of code from around line 1079:

   proc_table[LowProcIndex].kp_proc.p_sticks +

The reason I am doing this is because I am trying to get NET-SNMP 
supported upstream (at the moment its broken in pkgsrc stable and current)


Thanks

HEADS UP - development tree may be unstable for a few days

2007-05-14 Thread Matthew Dillon
As people may have noticed from the commits I'm working on separating
out the all the hardcoded references to struct disklabel.  I'm
separating out all the disk management layering code into distinct
pieces (slice code, disklabel, partition management).

I might make a mistake, and it could blow something up, like a
filesystem, so this is a head's up that the development tree should
be considered unstable this week.

Eventually this will allow us to implement a pluggable disklabeling
scheme (e.g. a 64 bit disklabel or GPT or something like that).  I'm
just getting some low-hanging fruit out of the way to make it easier
later on.  GPT looks aweful, but it isn't something I'm going to worry
about right now.
