 Hi,

 I installed DragonFly-DEVELOPMENT/amd64 on a lenovo thinkpad E420.

 Linux uses the following firmware

 rtl8192c_common: Loading firmware file rtlwifi/rtl8192cfw.bin

 How do I compile in support in the kernel for this?
 Also which firmware should I use?

Maybe NDIS would be able to get it working?  This is a guess on my
part based on what Google scrapes up.


computer got hung while doing bulk build

2012-05-24 Thread Pierre Abbat
I brought up Firefox (I had been doing it on the laptop, but I took it out 
last night and will take it out tonight) and Gimp on darner. Also hammer has 
been running over 13 hours, which is highly unusual; usually it takes 20 or 
40 minutes. I have over 70 GB on the disk that holds the bulk build. The 
computer hung. On the window that's showing the bulk build, I see this:

[1736/12501] Starting build of  tex-pst-3dplot-1.94
[1736/12501] Failed to buildtex-pst-3dplot-1.94
[1752/12501] Starting build of  farsight2-0.0.26nb6
Read from remote host darner: Connection reset by peer
Connection to darner closed.

I have to reboot darner. How do I resume the bulk build?

If you're using my simplepbulk script, run clean.sh again without the
-a qualifier, and it'll rescan and restart with only  unbuilt
packages.

Also, this will possibly happen again.  I've had trouble getting
builds to finish due to bug 2296, I think it is.

I use netstat -r (or -rn to not wait for DNS) to see the routing table – it 
works everywhere and does what you need.

Not sure what you mean here. NDIS should work on both i386 and x86_64.
