The current release version of PC-BSD is based on FreeBSD 6.3. They are exactly the same but PC-BSD has been custom configured to provide a usable desktop from first boot. For that particular card, you will need the hal that is in FreeBSD7. I don't believe it was ever MFC'd back to 6.x. You can either grab FreeBSD 7 or try out the PC-BSD alpha at ftp://ftp.pcbsd.org/pub/alpha-isos/i386/. There will be a new PC-BSD alpha up next week. best, -matt > > I'm copying to the list so that someone with knowledge of PCBSD can answer > this correctly. > > ed >> >> On Sat, Jun 28, 2008 at 5:47 AM, wrote: >> >>> Quoting Manolis Kiagias : >>> >>> Isaac MacFarlane wrote: >>>> >>>>> Hello all.

In fact I hadn't even announced the hal for testing yet but now that I've returned from 3 weeks AFK it's probably time. I also wanted to backport all the important driver mods to RELENG_7 before saying anything but that didn't happen.

In my case, I was able to compile a working module by using following the instructions found in http://nighthack.org/wiki/EeeBSD but using this other version of the MadWifi drivers: http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3698-20080604.tar.gz Hope it helps.

In Gentoo GNU/Linux, I'm able to connect to a WPA2 secured network with no problems, whereas in FreeBSD, I'm only able to scan the Wireless network successfully, not able to ping any box.

It's a Compaq Armada 110; everything works as it should _except_ running X just blanks the screen and freezes the machine (can't even ping it). The graphics device is Trident Microsystems CyberBlade i1 (rev 6a) Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation CyberBlade i1 AGP A workaround is to specify the graphics devoce driver as (generic) "vga" instead of the (Xorg -configure)'d "trident" in xorg.conf. That makes X able to start (with a ridicuslously low resolution and ugly colors). Does someone please have a working xorg.conf for this machine?
