The G.703 connectors are sometimes known as BNC connectors, such as would be used for an E1 (2 Mbps) connection if we are both thinking of the same coaxial cables when you say G.703. The other way to say this is that you are looking for a card with a built in CSU/DSU, and though I haven't used any such equip for a while I know there are multiple manufacturers... a company called ImageStream comes to mind, they makes PCI WAN interfaces, though I've never used their gear. cheers, --dr -- Dragos Ruiu dursec.com ltd. / kyx.net - we're from the future gpg/pgp key on file at wwwkeys.pgp.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Mon Sep 18 3:41:51 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from hq1.tyfon.net (hq1.tyfon.net [213.212.29.17]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4B48537B422 for ; Mon, 18 Sep 2000 03:41:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by hq1.tyfon.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5774A1C7C2; Mon, 18 Sep 2000 12:41:44 +0200 (CEST) Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 12:41:44 +0200 (CEST) From: Dan Larsson To: Dragos Ruiu Cc: hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Network interface card with G.703 connectors In-Reply-To: <0009180129541D.53893@smp.kyx.net> Message-ID: Organization: Tyfon Svenska AB MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Mon, 18 Sep 2000, Dragos Ruiu wrote: | I haven't used any such equip for a while I know there | are multiple manufacturers... a company called ImageStream | comes to mind, they makes PCI WAN interfaces, though | I've never used their gear.

In my opinion, the "unbalanced" 120-Ohm Twisted Pair interface is much easier to deal with as a standard RJ-45 connector is used, so you can use your regular patch cables.

However you can taking the specs for every device in your system (dont know if you can find them for the motherboard because it would probably depend on theamount of memory and processor, consult mainboard docs or contact manufacturer) they will be rated for their power consumption. If they are rated in watts or milliwatts then convert to like units and add. If they are rated with a voltage and amperes(or milliamps) then multiply voltage by amps to find watts to find the power consumption. Besure to use the appropiate units. Some devices may be rated with two figures : nominal and maximum, nominal is at standby(on but not being used) max. is when the device is at peak activity. So for an estimate perhaps use an average of nominal and max. and of course multiply the figure by the hours of use. In the US, it is all bill at kilowatts per hour, so if your locality uses something else you will have to convert it to the appropriate thing. And of course you can only get either the maximum power consumption or best guess with this method. Because all your hardware is not being used fully all the time. This method is not being written by an expert. There could be something I am overlooking or not fully explained. All this comming from an electrician converted to electronics tech, who likes to play with computers and is a wannabe sys admin. oh yeah, I didnt finish a computer science degree.

Yes. The only supported adapters at this time are those that use the Qlogic 2100 and Qlogic 2200 chipsets. I have on my list to support the LSI Logic FC909 set sometime soon. Full fabric support is available (in fact is default as of 4.1)- 2200 chipsets come up as a public loop and 2100s as a Private loop that will work on fabrics with switches that do aliasing. Target mode also works. See the isp(4) man page for more details of support. This is all with class 3 frames. There ways to tweak class 2 frames, but some programming knowledge will be necsessary for that. The switches known to work best are Brocade Silkworm II and Ancor SA-8. There is no support at this time for FC-IP. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Wed Sep 20 21:36:38 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from iclub.nsu.ru (iclub.nsu.ru [193.124.222.66]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B03B237B422 for ; Wed, 20 Sep 2000 21:36:24 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (fjoe@localhost) by iclub.nsu.ru (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA70276; Thu, 21 Sep 2000 11:33:58 +0700 (NSS) (envelope-from fjoe@iclub.nsu.ru) Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2000 11:33:58 +0700 (NSS) From: Max Khon To: Michael Bryan Cc: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Support for Dell PERC 3/Si RAID Controller?

I believe Tekram has a FreeBSD driver available for that chip. It should be on their web or ftp sites. The driver won't get integrated into FreeBSD until someone with the ability, time, inclination and hardware to do it decides to do it.

Your BIOS checks your memory during boot by reading and writing to all of it. As soon as it hits an error, it stops, and sets the available memory up to the point that you had the error. We ask the BIOS how much memory is in the machine, and voila. The original poster's memory is almost certainly bad and should be replaced ASAP. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Fri Sep 22 0:41: 9 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mail.orbiteam.de (africa.orbiteam.de [193.175.163.212]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 137B237B422 for ; Fri, 22 Sep 2000 00:41:06 -0700 (PDT) Received: (qmail 15675 invoked by uid 458); 22 Sep 2000 07:41:04 -0000 Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2000 09:41:04 +0200 From: Volker Paulsen To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Intel Adaptors Message-ID: <20000922094104.A15115@mail.orbiteam.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0pre4i Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, Intel introduced (obviously) a new series of 10/100Mbps NICs w/ management & security features: + "Intel PRO/100 S Server Adaptor" (PILA8470C3) + "Intel PRO/100+ Dual Port Server Adaptor" (PILA8472) + "Intel PRO/100 S Desktop Adaptor" (PILA8460C3) These seem to replace the older "Intel Management Adaptors" + "Intel PRO/100 S Management Adaptor" (PILA8464B, PILA8464BUS) + "Intel PRO/100+ Management Adaptor" (PILA8460B) Are these newer NICs compatible with the supported "Intel PRO/100+ Management Adaptor", and therefore run on FreeBSD?

If you're putting together your own system, try the ASUS CUR-DLS, which uses the ServerWorks ServerSet III LE chipset. It has dual independent PCI busses on it, with two 66MHz/64-bit PCI slots and five 33MHz/32-bit slots. Otherwise, most of the servers from the likes of Dell, IBM, Compaq, etc. all use multiple PCI busses. The Compaq ML530 I have here has no less than four independent PCI busses, and I use it as an 100Mbit*8-port router, among other things. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.

I'm sure a few thousand packets per second is doable, but how abot the tens of thousands? Assume, of course, adequate hardware support - 4 64/66 pci busses, interleaved memory, etc. Is this an area where a big cache on a xeon processor would help more than extra CPU cycles?

The other hard- and software: Sony Vaio 505X FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE [ As an aside: The combo is working fine under Win98 (I'm sitting in the living room watching the olympic games on tv andtyping this mail through a ssh-session to my regular workstation). ] The pccardd recognizes the wavelan card and binds it (as expected) to the the wi driver. I tried my very best to deduce the 'right' parameters for wicontrol. I set up the right network name, the infrastructure mode, the encryption key etc. Bringing up the interface with ifconfig results in "wi0: tx buffer allocation failed" messages. This smells like kern/17821. I was able to reproduce the behaviour with an ELSA AirLancer MC-11 from my "test pool", too. Any hints? Any patches available, yet?

This may be a problem with the driver or with the disk. The fact that Microsoft doesn't report any problems doesn't mean that it isn't having any. Let's take a look at your /var/log/dmesg.boot file.

I'd guess that the problem is related to the PCMCIA chipset used in the Vaio, as the bug report talks about a Vaio, too (although a different model). The wavelan card works fine in my Dell laptop (4.0-STABLE and 4.1-RELEASE), and I'm sure that it works in other laptops, too. > Any hints? It probably won't help, but you could post a verbose dmesg, as well as the bootup console messages (many of which are NOT placed into dmesg or /var/log/messages). Capturing the console messages can be tricky, as some programs run at bootup (pccardc in particular) print important messages to stdout, which aren't captured in /var/log/messages or dmesg. If your syscons scrollback (SC_HISTORY_SIZE) is set large enough, and you are using moused, you can scroll back and use the mouse cut-and-paste to copy the console messages. -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@soco.agilent.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.

If anyone is already using this board successfully and wouldn't mind saying so I'd appreciate any tips you might have. I'm looking at buying the Advantech PCM-5820-E0A1 board and it has the following bits on it: NS GXM-233 MHz processor - this, I think, is a Cyrix processor, but the info I can find anywhere is very limited. NS CX5530 chipset for video (CRT and TFT) - this is not a chipset per se', it an emulated chipset. No info in the list archives. I assume video is video, but ... Realtek RTL8139 ethernet - it looks like this is supported. NS CX 5530 chipset for audio w/ support for AC97 PCI surround - see above under video, it's an emulated chipset using a codec and BIOS according to the list archives, but as of July 99 it wasn't supported. So y'all have a better idea what I want to do with this, it's for a car audio MP3 player. See for more info. The original player was built under Linux, but I thought I'd give it a try under FBSD.
