You are correct.  Is there anything I can configure for syscons to work with the screen savers?  Below are some lines from the messages log file.

Some more info...

The only savers that work are the text based savers, snake, stars, blank...

I did not try a splash screen, but my guess is that it won't work either.

I even put the vesa_load="YES" in my "/etc/rc.load", but still won't work.

It should just work.  I have no idea why it would think your console doesn't 
support VGA.  You'd have to add some printfs in the VGA/fb(4) code where it 
figures out which video modes to enable to figure that out.

Hello,
 
I'm porting run (ru'N' not ru'M') driver and got stuck.

I
made it work (-encryption) 2 days ago. Yesterday, the same module
stopped working. I spent several hours, but I couldn't make it work.
Today, the module didn't work yesterday is working fine. In fact, I'm
sending this message by using that troublesome driver. If anyone know
what to look please let me know.

Here are details.
When it works, it works fine.
When
it doesn't work, scanning doesn't go well. When scan, it lists a few
neighbours' routers, but a router only 3 feet away. (That's my router.)
And, some time, it won't list any AP after scanning. When that happens, it seems I
need to unplug the USB dongule to get scanning works again. After
unplugging and plugging babck, neighbours' routers are listed again, but mine.
Based on LED and printf, scan starts and ends normally all the time. Just my router doesn't show up on the result.

Here are details of my network.
A
day-to-day-use computer, a sacrificial laptop, and a DD-WRT-loaded
wireless router are hooked up to a wired router. The sacrificial laptop
has trouble to find the DD-WRT-loaded wireless router. (Right at this moment
every thing is working fine.)

Any suggestions, thoughts, or guesses would be appreciated.


Thank you.

Hello everyone!

I have just decided to port openbsd's run driver (ru"N' not ru'M')
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=run&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html
to freebsd since just-bought wusb54gc ver 3 doesn't work with rum (ver 0 is working fine with rum) and yelling at usb dongle won't make it to work.

If anyone has started porting please let me know.

Also, this is going to be my very first freebsd project. Any advice will be appreciated.

Wish me luck!

Hello again,

The issue is probably caused by regulatory channel thing (14 vs 11 channels). Since I have given ieee80211_init_chan() a proper argument and DD-WRT a fixed channel, it's been working fine for 3 days straight.

Encryption hasn't been supported yet, but I have posted the code on freebsd forums
http://forums.freebsd.org/showpost.php?p=44110&postcount=1
Anyone interested in, please try it out.


P.S.
I'm trying to reply to the thread. But if I made a new thread instead, please tell me how to reply to a thread.

It looks it's a really cool!

Could you please port this driver to CURRENT?  In my opinion it's
valuable to work on CURRENT than STABLE_7 because we can commit it to
CURRENT when it's ready to use.

Yes I could.

I ported to 7 because handbook says newbie should stay away from CURRENT.

So, is current CURRENT 9? Where can I get from?

Best,

Hi Pyun,

Thanks for your info! By the way, who is Jack? Is he the author of
this driver? I really need to have this feature usable on the driver.
I bought these NICs with 82576 chipset for the purpose of implementing
IPsec in my network and my current FreeBSD servers could benefit it.
Just really thought it has support because FreeBSD was already part of
the supported operating system. I was alerted when I've re-read the
product info document again that it only support Windows 2008 and
Vista platforms. Now, I've confirmed that with the current existing
driver. I hope this guy has the plan of implementing it sooner because
I really need it.

Thanks,
Siquijor

I am Jack, the network engineer at Intel responsible for all FreeBSD wired
lan drivers.
This is the first I've seen about this. Our understanding was that the
infrastructure needed
to do IPSec was not available for either Linux or FreeBSD, can you please
explain things?

If everything is there except the support in the driver then I might be able
to add that to
my queue.

Cheers,

Jack

I guess what is required is dependent on whether it's just crypto
support, or whether the card is expected to track all the security
associations, or whether it expects to track just a subset of them.

I'm guessing that the latter may be the case.

I guess we already have crypto(9) infrastructure to support IPSec
in kernel. CCed to sam who may know what is required to implement
IPSec offloading in ethernet driver.

If we knew what the driver would need then that might help too  :-)

Hi Jack! Thanks for introducing yourself since I am new to this mailing list :-)

Yes, basically I am implementing an IPsec infrastructure to our
network. Our network is composed of a main office and 3 branch offices
to be linked over VPN. I'm using both FreeBSD and Windows platforms.
Our FreeBSD (7.1-Release) platforms comprises the 4 firewall/gateways
(which should be also our VPN concentrators) as well as our mail
server (7.1-Release). The Windows platforms comprises the local/remote
clients (FreeBSD/Windows XP/Vista) and the Active Directory server
(Windows Server 2008).

Since our 4 FreeBSD perimeter firewall/gateways are currently
processing big amount of traffic, so I have decided to buy these Intel
NICs with IPsec offloading just to make sure it can carry out the
current traffic processing. Aside from that, our local and remote
FreeBSD clients will also be configured on transport-mode IPsec sooner
because these clients are also network intensive hosts. So, from here
I really wanted to have the IPsec offloading be available to my NICs
since I intend to buy these as its primary purpose.

Yes, please because I really need to have my IPsec infra working sooner.

Thank you so much!

Message-ID: <d9d8f32e0910120619x38999edeyfb688fc03785e15e@mail.gmail.com>

Hello drivergurus!

I'm facing a bit of a problem. Having bought HP DL160 G6 servers and
now I realize the NIC isn't supported by FreeBSD. The only expansion
slot available is being used by a RAID controller and needless to say,
I need a NIC working.

I have yet to find the time to dive into driver coding, but I guess
this is a golden opportunity to start. What would I need to get
started building a driver for the "HP NC362i" for FreeBSD? There are
already drivers for linux and Solaris(x86), so I'm guessing porting
one of thoose may be a simpler task.

If worst comes to worst I may have to go for SUSE, hoping to avoid that.

Regards

After a bit of searching, it seems like that HP NC362i is based on Intel
82576, so you may try the igb(4) driver. Good luck.
