New ix(4) driver for Intel 82598 10Gb Ethernet

Hello,

I just imported ix(4), a driver for the Intel 82598EB 10 Gigabit
Ethernet adapters. It is based on Intel's ixgbe FreeBSD driver, with
many local changes for OpenBSD.

The driver is fully-operational and survived some long-time tests, I
had to work on borrowed hardware from another company since Intel
didn't provide us any cards. It is currently not sure how to maintain
the driver in the future without having cards in the project.

John Ronciak from Intel told me told me that they don't ha...

4.2 xenocara make build problem

Hi, using 4.2.

Today I downloaded the xenocara.tar.gz from ftp.openbsd.org and it seems
to have a problem.

I untared the source into /usr/src/xenocara, cleaned the /usr/xobj/* dir
and set a DESTDIR. As root, I runed

make bootstrap (no problem)
make obj (no problem)
make build (-- problem --)

It have problems when compiling /usr/src/xenocara/lib/freetype

I can't give you more info because I'm writting this in other "working"
computer. I will paste the output as soon as I can. there is any...

dhcpd.interfaces removed

Support for /etc/dhcpd.interfaces has been removed in current. The few
users out there still using it should add their interfaces to
dhcpd_flags in /etc/rc.conf.local.

Example:
dhcpd_flags="fxp0 bge0"

alix 2c3 bios version

Greetings:

I just got a new alix 2c3 board and it came with bios version 0.99
(12/10/07). There is a new version, 0.99b (1/27/08) available. Has
anyone experienced problems with 0.99 using OpenBSD? I prefer not to
reflash bioses without a reason.

Related question: If I need to reflash, I am using a serial connection
from a laptop running -current. The upload needs to use xmodem
protocol. I found the ~C command in tip to use an external program for
upload but I have not found anything in base ...

Re: alix 2c3 bios version - SUMMARY

Thanks for all the helpful responses. Here is a summary, for the
archives.

0.99 works fine with -current as of 08-Jun-2008. I am running it now,
as are others. One off-list response reported undesirable results with
reflashing through the serial port and recommended reflashing with

minicom is in ports (I forgot to look). Also, lrzsz is a smaller
program in ports that should work with tip.

I have several 2c3's, all running 0.99, all running very -current
snapshots, all perfectly fine. I have not flashed 0.99b since the

Re: alix 2c3 bios version

Is minicom's xmodem support tied to Linux? OpenBSD's ports tree has
comm/minicom.

Re: alix 2c3 bios version

You're right, of course. I was looking for a standalone xmodem program
and forgot to do the obvious and look for minicom.

Re: testing request: pf internals rearrangement

ok it seems to be pf.c line 3397 (mybe littleoffset for you,i have
chnges in my tree),which is
pool_put(&pf_src_tree_pl, nsn);
in the second if block after the cleanup label. this is in source node
tracking, as in, not new or changed code. crash there means we either
tried to pool_put something invalid (double free style?) or we have
pool corrpution.

Re: testing request: pf internals rearrangement

this was not meant to go to the list, and the analysis was off due to a
difference in kernel sources. meanwhile mbalmer went into that bug to
and I found it. It is obvious why nobody ran in to it yet; it is ipv6
only.

Re: network.conf

Either cvsup (or cvsync) the *repository* rather than the checkout,
then use local cvs operations against that to update your working tree.
Or just work directly against an anoncvs server.

Re: Encrypted filesystems

In message <http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=121259415410042&w=1>,

It may not be what you want, but cfs (ports/packages) is a cryptographic
filesystem which runs outside the kernel. It works at the _file_ level
(on top of a standard filesystem), with encryption keys specified on
a per-directory-tree basis, so doesn't care about the filesystem size.
I've been using cfs for about 15 years (first 7 on SunOS, last 8 on
OpenBSD), and am generally happy with it.

Re: Encrypted filesystems

Hey,

I never ran into a partition size limit with vnconfig on OpenBSD...
largest currently encrypted HDD is a 160 GB secondary notebook drive,
all one partition, containing a traveling backup of some stuff. ;-)

cfs on the other hand... never really got it to work reliable.

usb serial controller to donate

hi misc.

some time ago i bought a usb to serial controller. after searching the
archives and googling a lot, i found, that i want a profilic driven
controller and nearly every cheap one should run profilic. although i
thought i will be lucky, i got one, which doesn't run as expected
(Logilink USB 2.0 Serial Adapter). the cd has, as usual, only mac and
windows driver on it. the problems i see are:

Try running the HP offline diags, even though it runs it could still be

Re: "remove any unwanted devices from the kernel. "

On Fri, 6 Jun 2008 16:50:37 -0700

I had an incident with a 4.1+ snapshot where in order to get some
customer config to work I needed to build a "GENERIC" OBSD system
from scratch with some patch code. This was only somewhat more
complicated than building a custom FreeBSD kernel. The "monolithic"
OBSD build methodology is only good most of the time, and when it
isn't, it's a bit of a bear.
