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 binary...

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.

2. climb over ethical fence

3. remove his license

Everyone gets that the poll is set up so that you can put arbitrary
answers on there and pick them?

Someone added them. That's all.

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.

If you guys could test out my ACPI diff I posted to tech@, that may help.

You said same action above for 23 & 28, and here you say stable for 28?

I justed look now on the site and the latest snapshots was done just a
few hours ago:

So, I am not sure what testing you did, unless you built your own. new

Those devices (acpicpu, acpibtn...) are not compiled in GENERIC or
GENERIC.MP, if you want to test them

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... I did

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 ?

Well one more:

window(1) is "something similar to screen" and is included with OpenBSD:

Hi,

Not for CCD, but raidframe..

Search the mailing list archives for a thread with a subject "Seeking
info for RAID 1 on OpenBSD". In there you will find all sorts of info.

http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=116360194522004&w=2

http://www.packetmischief.ca/openbsd/doc/raidadmin/

Good Luck,

Thanks,
Steve Williams

I'm very new to OBSD and BSDs in general, coming from Debian Linux
(which now does raid1 from the installer). I notice that both OBSD and
NetBSD use raidframe and ccd. The NetBSD FAQ has a chapter on setting
up raidframe for root raid1. Perhaps it would give some direction. I
do not know if it is the correct approach for OBSD.

Hello all!

I have installed BitTorrent-4.2.2 on my 3.9-box. With this i would like to
start file sharing on a console, logout, login later and reattach to the
console of the BitTorrent-4.2.2 session. AFAIK this is done in most
Linux-distros using the command screen, but how can I do it in BSD?

Any help appreciated

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

Can't you just install screen?

pkg_add -iv screen

??

Well, you could use "screen" ;-)

It's in the ports (/usr/ports/misc/screen) or you could add it
with pkg_add.

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

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.

I'd say it's a bit low. I've seem my maximum sustained throughput at
~22Mb/s, but it usually operates at ~19Mb/s--and I imagine this might
be a bit higher if I didn't use WEP. I use ral for hostap purposes
and the relevant portion of my current hardware is:

ral0 at cardbus1 dev 0 function 0: irq 10, address 00:14:a5:33:31:c7

I can't say much outside of making certain the channel you're using is
not being used by someone else.
