Alright, I figured out how to make this printer work finally, and I thought I would summarize the work I did for the list in hopes that it will help anyone else who is having similar problems: Printer: Brother HL-2070N connected over static IP on an ethernet line. Problem: When sending jobs to the printer, the text is read as plain text, instead of PostScript/PCL and is printed in a stair-cased manner, with many blank pages following. Diagnosis: The 2070n needs to be send the data in a ...

I recognize that writeup about the Atheros / Linux / SFLC story is a bit complex, so I wrote a very simple explanation to someone, and they liked it's clarity so much that they asked me to post it for everyone. Here it is (with a few more changes) ----- starting premise: you can already use the code as it is steps taken: 1. pester developer for a year to get it under another license. - get told no, repeatedly 2. climb over ethical fence 3. remove his license - get ...

The maximum real world speed I see on my .11g WLAN--Linksys WAP54G access points, OpenBSD clients with ral(4) and iwi(4)--is about 1.8 Mbyte/s for scp(1) over an IPsec ESP tunnel. Don't forget that the 54 Mbit/s figure is the raw radio speed and we are dealing with a shared medium, which means data exchanges are half-duplex, and there's already a hidden send/acknowledge ping-pong protocol running at the MAC layer. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de

I did observe similar behaviour on four X4100 M2 as well (two with one socket dual-core, two with two sockets dual-core Opterons) using amd64 bsd.mp snapshots from 23 and 28 Aug.. Currently, amd64 bsd.mp snapshot 28. Aug is running stable on those four servers, although using a single SAS disk without RAID. Several days ago, there was a commit in kernel CVS about delaying start of IPMI which is causing annoying delays at startup of amd64. Eventually, a more recent snapshot becomes available ...

Here is the new dmesg for current. So far the boot process is much faster and do not hang anymore. I am doing install on three more boxes now and will do a bunch of reboot cycles to see the end results. Still some acpi not configure in the dmesg, but so far does look better. Also, note this is on the latest bios and ilom as well as the latest SAS drivers as well. Not the one that comes directly from Sun. ILOM: 1.1.8 BIOS: 39, not the standard 34 version. SAS: 1.16.40, not the ...

Hi, there's a poll about which "linux" (please read here UNIX) you'd like to see preinstalled/supported on the lenovos thinkpads http://lenovoblogs.com/insidethebox/?p=98 You'll notice that Mark Kohut (Lenovo's worldwide analyst) cannot tell the difference between linux and BSD (both freebsd and openbsd fall in the category of "linux") but, in any case, maybe you feel like clicking the OpenBSD entry...

Can anyone give me a hint how to get sound working in Qemu ? I'm running an X31 and am starting -soundhw all but I don't think it covers my sound hardware. The precompiled 4.1 package has: pcspk PC speaker sb16 Creative Sound Blaster 16 es1370 ENSONIQ AudioPCI ES1370 But my sound device is an auich. Anyone get sound working for an auich device ?

Hello, I've searched hi and low for hours on how to setup my system of a RAID 1 and basically what it comes down to is ccd and/or Raid Frame. I've found helpful docs on using some of the commands and where to put my configurations but nothing seems complete enough for me to figure it out. I have OpenBSD 4.1 installed on one disk and I have an exact duplicate disk where i want to mirror my installation to incase of disk failure. If this needs to be setup during install I'm willing ...

I personnaly used the following doc to set up my software raid 1 frame : http://www.linux.com/articles/52713 good luck :)

Eek. Upgrade. :-) http://openbsd.alphix.se/faq/upgrade40.html With screen? ;-) http://openbsd.alphix.se/faq/faq15.html It could be as simple as `sudo pkg_add -i screen` if you've set the PKG_PATH environment variable. HTH and good luck... Nico

Hi! How about using screen? Kind regards, Hannah.

Use screen as well: pkg_add screen -- Cezary Morga

You can install the screen package? -- o--------------------------{ Will Maier }--------------------------o | web:.......http://www.lfod.us/ | email.........willmaier@ml1.net | *------------------[ BSD Unix: Live Free or Die ]------------------*

Hi there, I'm just looking at some disk arrays on ebay, the netra range from sun are reasonably priced. For example the Netra st D130. Has anyone tried using this kind of thing with OpenBSD? The "official" way to configure these kits is via the SSM software for solaris. Is there a way to do this with bioctl or some other tool in OpenBSD, or will I be limited to straight forward non-raid disk access? Thanks -- Best ...

that one is just a disk box/psu (maybe also ses, I don't remember and mine had to go on a customer Windows box in a hurry so I can't check) you need a separate raid controller (mpi?), or use softraid or raidframe.

802.11g has about 50% radio overhead, slower speeds have less.

Hello, I'm using a lot of MiniPCI ral cards in my work with OpenBSD, such as: dmesg | g ral ral0 at pci0 dev 16 function 0 "Ralink RT2561S" rev 0x00: irq 10, address 00:1a:4d:28:e0:47 ral0: MAC/BBP RT2561C, RF RT2527 In this case I have Subj question: what is the top speed, that I can get from such stuff? I'd tested different options and flags from man 4 ral, spent a lot of time on it, tested all the media from the ifconfig -m ral0 list with all the mediaopt opts. The max speed that I'd saw ...

Hi, Just been doing multiple tests on 4 boxes and all present the same problem of multiple reboot when the acpi is enable in the bsd.mp kernel. The box boot and before it finish to be all done and fully stable, it reset itself and reboot again. It will do this between 2 and 5 times at worst before it finally stay up. All these boxes use SAS drives and are setup with RAID 1, however, I don't think it makes a difference here, but what do I know really. Many times it hang a long time at ...

having read and understood that, you should know that for most people -current is more than good enough to work with. I am always running -current in my production system and do not see any major (nor minor) problem. Well, if you want to try the veeeery lastest drivers of X then you'll have to ask for them explicitly and do it all by yourself (compile, CVS etc) instead of "just" downloading the kernel from a snapshot obsd ftp server. I know that comparisons are stupid but I am an ex linux user ...

If you want to install 4.2 on a sparc, than you will have to wait for the files to appear on the FTP-servers. (Or try to build a 4.2-release with the source code from the CD's on a sparc running 4.1 or -current, but that's not guaranteed to work.) Maurice

Pau, Thanks for your note... There's one driver that I do want from that, and that's the ATI driver for the X1600 chipsets. However, at the time, I don't really have the ability to deal with random bugs, as I'm already up to my eyeballs in other things. ;-) Believe it or not, I due notice some stability differences between -CURRENT and -STABLE on the whole. -- ((name "Aaron Hsu") (email/xmpp "arcfide@sacrificumdeo.net") (phone "703-597-7656") (site "http://www.aaronhsu.com"))

If you're running recent snapshots then you are running -CURRENT and as Theo mentions above: "...but beware since -current is now ahead of what the upcoming release will be, and that may not be what you want -- almost a thousand commits have already happened to it." -RELEASE would have been sent to the presses awhile back and development continues on from 4.2. You're past that point. The options are to continue with -CURRENT or start fresh with -RELEASE. Greg -- Ticketmaster and ...

Did you use TERM=screen on both ends of the ssh, i.e. on OBSD before ssh

yes... it doesn't help I thought left-clicking on the xterm, and selecting "Backarrow Key (BS/DEL)" would do it, and afterwards typing `stty erase ` and then ctrl-v and then hitting backspace and enter... but that's only for xterm. What, if you're using a different terminal, like aterm, eterm, konsole or gnome-terminal? you don't have that menu... I also saw this... but... don't know...

Hi Vim, I know you're not looking for a washing machine and vacuum cleaner, but perhaps you should look at the Brother and HP MFC models. The HP 7650 has an auto-document feeder (ADF) which was a must have for me. Because of the ADF it can scan both sides with the built in duplexer. (It can also print duplex.) The nice part about the scanner is it can be configured (via web interface) to scan to an SMB file share. I'm running Samba on OpenBSD 4.1 and have it scan straight to the ...

This is very interesting to me, as I am running using the MP kernel as well. I am doing so because I have a Dual Core system, but, maybe there is not that big of a performance gain? -- ((name "Aaron Hsu") (email/xmpp "arcfide@sacrificumdeo.net") (phone "703-597-7656") (site "http://www.aaronhsu.com"))
