This is not my problem at all, I am unable to reboot the laptop _after_ it has been suspended, apm facilities work quite well under X. The thing what happens is: if I want to reboot the laptop it just does, as one might expect, but _after_ it has been suspended a reboot never completes...the system reaches the state where the cpu has to be reset but it actually never seems to be able to. > --dinesh Maarten.

I somehow acquired the impression that on this particular machine, the behavior with respect to lid closure vs. suspend mode was controllable via ACPI, but not APM. (I have yet to make a serious effort to get ACPI to work; if I do so in the near term, it will be under FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT.)

So it would seem, though I don't see a machine thus designated at the Compal Web site.

Are you sure the modem part of the card is a real modem (as opposed to a WinModem)? If it was, I would have expected it to show up as a serial port and Just Work.

Pccard kernel entry: -------------------- # PCCARD (PCMCIA) support device card device pcic0 at isa? irq 10 port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd4000 #device pcic1 at isa? irq 0 port 0x3e2 iomem 0xd4000 disable ---------------------------------------------------------------- I believe the JS and HS are close enough so this should work in a JS. Note the irq 10... And I didn't have to disable sound to get pccard to work (did have to on one Toshiba a while ago)... This finds the wireless card, and works fine with a CF and smart-media adapter too; both of those are slightly painful since the strings to match are different for each card I have so I've had to do lots of dumpcis and editing pccard.conf :-( The current pccard code doesn't spot ata devices automatically... Too bad these units have HSF winmodems; I don't hold much hope of getting a driver that works (I gather there is at least a prayer with an HCF). I have a set of scripts that I use to get going with (one at each location). I use 128-bit WEP where it is available (the Addtron) and 40 where not (all others so far). (and this setup has also worked at last Usenix (well, the SD Mariott is VERY spread out and it didn't work in most rooms) and BSDcon (helpfully adding a few extra wireless routers) with no encryption). I'm on a cable now so can't dump the card with wicontrol, but an example script follows (the home one with keys x'd): ----------------------/etc/pccard_wi_home---------------------- #!/bin/sh killall dhclient interface=wi0 wicontrol -i ${interface} -s Portable.Altadena wicontrol -i ${interface} -p 1 wicontrol -i ${interface} -n 'Altadena' wicontrol -i ${interface} -e 1 wicontrol -i ${interface} -k xxxxxxxxxxxxx -v 1 wicontrol -i ${interface} -k xxxxx -v 2 wicontrol -i ${interface} -T 1 sleep 3 /sbin/dhclient wi0 sleep 2 sh /etc/route_home --------------------------------------------------- The only strange command is that last; I have more than one external route with separate NAT routers, so dhcp doesn't handle all the routing right... The sleeps may be longer than needed; the sleep 2 is probably not needed at all. I ^C out of the cable DHCP (just after the rc message about hostname), then run this script manually after I log in. With some work I could probably make start_if.xxx scripts to handle this and the various locations more automatically. The only big problem I see with AWP100's right now seems to be getting them :-) -- Pete To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Mon May 7 8:49:27 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from fac13.ds.psu.edu (fac13.ds.psu.edu [146.186.61.98]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 21CEA37B422 for ; Mon, 7 May 2001 08:49:24 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from hawk@fac13.ds.psu.edu) Received: from fac13.ds.psu.edu (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by fac13.ds.psu.edu (8.11.3/8.11.3) with ESMTP id f47FnRb01335; Mon, 7 May 2001 11:49:27 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from hawk@fac13.ds.psu.edu) Message-Id: <200105071549.f47FnRb01335@fac13.ds.psu.edu> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.3.1 01/18/2001 with nmh-1.0.4 To: Scott Mitchell Cc: "Richard E.

It probably works only in -current anyhow and is in active development... I'm pretty sure ACPI is mutually exclusive with APM. My current guess would be that Sony tied the Fn-5 support to either ACPI or some DPMS mode that I don't know about, on that model, either to save complexity in the environmental control stuff or something. I use apm on my Sony too. The only problem I have with apm is that Athlon boards with via chipsets (not applicable to laptops) often crash&burn badly if apm is even present in the kernel config (clock runs *real* fast, etc etc). -- Pete To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Mon May 7 19: 7: 5 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from odin.ac.hmc.edu (Odin.AC.HMC.Edu [134.173.32.75]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7A4B537B43C for ; Mon, 7 May 2001 19:07:02 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from brdavis@odin.ac.hmc.edu) Received: (from brdavis@localhost) by odin.ac.hmc.edu (8.11.0/8.11.0) id f4826nu09015; Mon, 7 May 2001 19:06:49 -0700 Date: Mon, 7 May 2001 19:06:49 -0700 From: Brooks Davis To: Matt Peterson Cc: "Ron 'The InSaNe One' Rosson" , freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Bay Networks Baystack 650 Wireless LAN Message-ID: <20010507190649.A7680@Odin.AC.HMC.Edu> References: <20010506095951.A85183@lunatic.oneinsane.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-md5; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu" Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i In-Reply-To: ; from matt@peterson.org on Mon, May 07, 2001 at 11:38:55AM -0700 Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Mon, May 07, 2001 at 11:38:55AM -0700, Matt Peterson wrote: > The 650 is 1Mb Frequency Hopping, while 660 is a 2Mb Direct Sequence card. > While I'm positive the 650 is supported in awi, not sure about the 660 > (Brooks Davis recently acquired one, maybe he'll know).

Are your BPF changes for better snooping to deal with 802.11 stuff? Ethereal can deal with 802.11 packets. Linux has some feature to be able to connect Ethereal to the raw 802.11 packets for sniffing. Part of the code to support this is being added to the Linux driver. For FreeBSD I was thinking of tying the raw 802.11 packets into Netgraph and then tie Netgraph into Ethereal and then we could sniff 802.11 packets from the Aironet cards. The Aironet code is to enable the sniffing is fairly easy. If we do this in general then other cards such as the wi ones could tie into Netgraph the same way and just work. Also if Ethereal was taught about frame relay that would just work as well. Doug A.

My idea is that you should be able to set and ioctl to choose which level of decapsilation bpf reports (and, if possiable, sends) at.

Nah, the thing is, most modern laptops do have weird video cards and "unknown" sound cards. I am afraid, the quest for a perfect laptop is a little harder than going to a local computer store; however, it doesn't have to be all that perfect.

What are you using? I have a Dell Inspiron 7500 (last year's model, now out of production :-) On the whole I'm quite happy with Dell. Other people like Sony and IBM. Note that IBM had some problems with recent BIOSes which caused the machine to freeze up if it found a FreeBSD partition on disk. That problem has been fixed on at least some of the machines, but you should check first.

For the most part, it's a good laptop. The ethernet port works fine, as does the memory stick slot. The one MAJOR thing that it has going against it is that it really was built for Windows. Certain things just don't work under FreeBSD. Some of these things are vital to my day to day use and are as follows: 1. Screen brightess - Only works under windows. When you press fn-5, it pops up a brightness control in the center of the screen, and you use the jog dial to adjust it. 2. Suspend - same thing 3. LCD / Monitor selection - same thing. So that's my 2c worht. Otherwise, it's a nice notebook. If it wasn't for these problems, it would be a gorgeous laptop. -- - Wayne Pascoe E-mail: wayne.pascoe@realtime.co.uk Phone : +44 (0) 20 7544 4668 Mobile: +44 (0) 788 431 1675 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Tue May 8 3:31:54 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from gateg.kw.bbc.co.uk (gateg.kw.bbc.co.uk [132.185.132.16]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CC15137B422 for ; Tue, 8 May 2001 03:31:50 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jonp@rd.bbc.co.uk) Received: from sunf0.rd.bbc.co.uk (ddmailgate.rd.bbc.co.uk [132.185.128.104]) by gateg.kw.bbc.co.uk (8.11.2/8.11.2) with SMTP id f48AVdm26958 for ; Tue, 8 May 2001 11:31:39 +0100 (BST) Received: from inet34.rd.bbc.co.uk by sunf0.rd.bbc.co.uk; Tue, 8 May 01 11:31:38 BST Date: Tue, 8 May 2001 11:31:36 +0100 From: Jonathan Perkin To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Sony VAIO F807k + Intel EtherExpress Message-Id: <20010508113136.O4939@rd.bbc.co.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Morning, Ok, I've tried everything, but I cannot get my recently-purchased Intel Express card to work with my vaio running either -stable or -current Searching through the archives, I found that changing pccard_mem to 0xd4000 was necessary, but no matter what I try, I always get: May 8 12:22:18 weirdo pccardd[88]: Card "Intel"("EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100 PC Card Mobile Adapter16") [PRO/100 M16A] [1.00] matched "Intel" ("EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100 PC Card Mobile Adapter16") [(null)] [(null)] May 8 12:22:18 weirdo pccardd[88]: Using mem addr 0xd4000, size 4096, card addr 0x4000 May 8 12:22:18 weirdo pccardd[88]: Using I/O addr 0x300, size 16 May 8 12:22:18 weirdo pccardd[88]: Setting config reg at offs 0x800 to 0x41, Reset time = 50ms May 8 12:22:23 weirdo pccardd[88]: Assigning I/O window 0, start 0x300, size 0x10 flags 0x7 May 8 12:22:23 weirdo pccardd[88]: Assign xe0, io 0x300-0x30f, mem 0xd4000, 4096 bytes, irq 3, flags 0 May 8 12:22:23 weirdo pccardd[88]: driver allocation failed for Intel(EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100 PC Card Mobile Adapter16): Device not configured Yes, I have xe(4) in kernel..

I've just borrowed a D-link pccard and it worked straight away inserting it with the settings I have for pccardd etc. If anyone has any tips, I'd love to hear them, as this will mean I can use FreeBSD at work instead of Solaris for most stuff :) Jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Tue May 8 3:34:59 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from rhymer.cogsci.ed.ac.uk (rhymer.cogsci.ed.ac.uk [129.215.144.8]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B155737B42C; Tue, 8 May 2001 03:34:54 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from richard@cogsci.ed.ac.uk) Received: from banks.cogsci.ed.ac.uk (banks [129.215.144.55]) by rhymer.cogsci.ed.ac.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA14554; Tue, 8 May 2001 11:34:53 +0100 (BST) Received: (from richard@localhost) by banks.cogsci.ed.ac.uk (8.9.3+Sun/8.9.3) id LAA25094; Tue, 8 May 2001 11:34:52 +0100 (BST) Date: Tue, 8 May 2001 11:34:52 +0100 (BST) Message-Id: <200105081034.LAA25094@banks.cogsci.ed.ac.uk> From: Richard Tobin Subject: Re: Sony Z600-HEK - un-recommendation To: wayne.pascoe@realtime.co.uk, freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG In-Reply-To: Wayne Pascoe's message of 08 May 2001 10:19:51 +0100 Organization: just say no Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > This is just a quick e-mail to let everyone know my experiences with > my Sony Z600-HEK.

The jogdial driver would be one such customer, a driver for this brightness futzing would be another. Alternatively, /dev/spic could simply be a low level interface with sort of read register / write register ioctls being available from user space. All of that is basically waiting on suitably stable ACPI support. Right now the spic driver has ugly pci access hacks to map itself into memory. By rights, it should simply use ACPI to configure itself automagically. Anyhow, I put -stable on my Vaio because ACPI wasn't ready yet. If anyone can confirm that they have ACPI working on a Z505 series Vaio, I might come back. :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Tue May 8 7:50:30 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from clientmail.realtime.co.uk (simian.realtime.co.uk [194.205.134.131]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C3DF037B424; Tue, 8 May 2001 07:50:26 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from waynep@zaphod.realtime.co.uk) Received: from zaphod.realtime.co.uk ([194.205.134.208]) by clientmail.realtime.co.uk with esmtp (Exim 3.20 #1) id 14x8oj-0001lp-01; Tue, 08 May 2001 15:50:25 +0100 Received: from waynep by zaphod.realtime.co.uk with local (Exim 3.20 #1) id 14x8oj-0002jr-00; Tue, 08 May 2001 15:50:25 +0100 From: Wayne Pascoe To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Laptop on 2 networks - solutions ?

I use my laptop at home (192.168.1.0/24) and at work (192.168.2.0/24). At the moment, in /etc I have rc.conf.home and rc.conf.work. Each of these has IP configs for the correct network.

Is there any better solution than this out there? Also, I note that if I have fxp0 set to my home address and add an alias to fxp0 of my work address, I am able to ping machines in my work network.

You do know that you can setup DHCP to always give you a fixed address, don't you? host Nomad { hardware ethernet 00:60:97:94:8f:d3; fixed-address nomad.yogotech.com; } So, my laptop *always* gets the same address everytime. > Also, I don't run any DHCP services at home.

I have a Sony Z505S and I use a Raritan PS/2 to USB to connect an external keyboard and mouse. Here is how I dealt with the multiple mice: 1) configured moused in /etc/rc.conf moused_enable="YES" moused_type="ps/2" moused_port="/dev/psm0" moused_flags="-I /var/run/moused.psm0.pid -3" 2) configured X to use moused Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems" ^^^^^^^^^^^^ I never did figure out why I had to use this instead of SysMouse, but it works! Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse" 3) configured usbd to start moused when a usb mouse is attached and stop it when the mouse is dettached device "Raritan PS/2 to USB" product 0x0101 vendor 0x04b4 release 0x0001 devname ums[0-9] attach "/usr/sbin/moused \ -I /var/run/moused.${DEVNAME}.pid -t auto \ -p /dev/${DEVNAME}; \ kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/console" detach "kill `cat /var/run/moused.${DEVNAME}.pid`; \ kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 < /dev/console" Of course, you won't want to switch keyboards and if you want to disable the touch pad, you will need to kill off moused for the touchpad in the "attach" section and restart it in the "detach" Hope this helps. -stacy -- Nothing spoils fun like finding out it builds character. - Calvin Stacy Millions stacy@millions.ca Millions Consulting Limited To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Tue May 8 8:31: 5 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from meta.lo-res.org (meta.lo-res.org [195.58.189.92]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4466A37B422 for ; Tue, 8 May 2001 08:31:00 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from aaron@meta.lo-res.org) Received: from localhost (aaron@localhost) by meta.lo-res.org (8.11.1/8.11.1) with ESMTP id f48FUpm67860; Tue, 8 May 2001 17:30:51 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from aaron@meta.lo-res.org) Date: Tue, 8 May 2001 17:30:51 +0200 (CEST) From: aaron To: Nate Williams Cc: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Laptop on 2 networks - solutions ?

I have been using a Lucent Wavelan (the old kind that is supported by the wlp driver). For some time I've been running FreeBSD 3.3 on it. I'd like to upgrade. What should I upgrade to? This laptop hasn't been the easiest to use under FreeBSD --- for example, it didn't boot the installation floppies for FreeBSD after version 3.3. Anyone else using this laptop? What setup are you using? I would like to upgrade to some version of 4 at least.

At the office there's a static IP on the ethernet, and at home will be ppp by modem. I'm thinking of a script early in the boot that figures out whether or not there's anything on the ethernet. If so, it should go through the regular boot (possibly copying files into place). If not, it should set up on demand ppp. Either way, it shoul dset up a globally readable environmental variable so that my user startup scripts can figure out which to use (ie, don't launch lynx and fetchmail automatically!) hawk -- Prof. Richard E.

Yes since I generate the patches relative to cvs. I now include your changes in my patch set. Since your patches aren't in FreeBSD -current or -stable if I leave your patches enabled then the driver fails. (I think I ran into the problem but it has been a while). Since we have conflicting changes (ie I have patches to your patches) I just make mine relative to cvs. Of course if we got this stuff checked in then CVS would deal with managing the changes and life would be good! I think the big problem with our patchsets is that we are going to have conflicts and people will need either my "an" changes or yours and if people try to use both at the same time they have merge hell. So that why I just included all of your "an" changes in mine but added a switch to turn them on or off. I guess if you want to take all of the "an" changes as I make them available that is fine. However, I've found that sometimes slowly then just posting patches on the web. "send-pr" usually takes a long time before commited.

I in theory have code for that but not in the "an" driver yet. BTW one Linux guy did a hack of extracting the 802.3 header out of the 802.11 packet and prepended the 802.3 header. This way he could pass the 802.11 encapsulated packet up through normal BPF channels to user-land. Then he modified Ethereal to strip the fake 802.3 pre-pended header and then used Ethereal's 802.11 parser to sniff things. Note this is a dedicated snifer since it's not a valid 802.3 packet. An interesting idea. However, with netgraph we can dump anything into netgraph and then attach processing modules. So for example we could do a 802.11 <-> 802.3 module and everyone could share it. I think Julian and someone is working on that. Then we could sniff at the 802.11 raw level or at 802.3 level. It would be nice to have a machine on the network doing normal network stuff and be able to sniff all raw 802.11 packets. If you get a framework started I can make changes to the Aironet driver to support it for sniffing. It shouldn't take long to do. Doug A.

I want to try to fix this when I get a little time, but it's not a problem for me, so it may not happen in my lifetime. :-( What I wonder is why it's a problem for you? I use DHCP exclusively to configure my network on my laptop as it moves between three different nets on a regular basis. While I see the timeout messages every time the card starts, it has never effected DHCP operation. What DHCP server are you using? I'm using isc-dhcp2 in all locations, but this should be irrelevant as the server never gets a packet until the card comes on-line. How are your pccard.conf, rc.conf, and dhclient.conf set up? I have nothing special in dhclient.conf and only a list of really available IRQs in pccard.conf. But I have several things in rc.conf: pccard_enable="YES" pccard_ifconfig="DHCP" pccardd_flags="-z" R.

I'm trying to make the machine work both on a net where it has a static address, and on DHCP connections, and I'm doing that with the hooks scripts. So far, everything seems to work fine with the 3Com and Lucent cards, but not with the Xircom. Incidently, pccardd has always been a little flakey about cards already in the machine when it boots. Would 'pccardd_flags="-z"' in rc.conf take care of that? -- M/S 258-5 | 1024-bit PGP fingerprint: | tweten@nas.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center | 41 B0 89 0A 8F 94 6C 59 | (650) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 | 7C 80 10 20 25 C7 2F E6 | FAX: (650) 604-4377 We each earn what freedom of speech we defend for those who most offend us.

Check out /sbin/dhclient-script and its handling of the TIMEOUT "reason." It finds out if it is on the net it thinks it is by pinging the presumed default router. It should be possible to use that effect in a script called from pccard.conf on connection. It should be able to decide what net you are connected to and configure your machine appropriately. -- M/S 258-5 | 1024-bit PGP fingerprint: | tweten@nas.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center | 41 B0 89 0A 8F 94 6C 59 | (650) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 | 7C 80 10 20 25 C7 2F E6 | FAX: (650) 604-4377 We each earn what freedom of speech we defend for those who most offend us.

One really ugly, nasty kludge to try, is to add something like "sleep 10" to /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks, with the idea being that the watchdog timeout will occur during the sleep. [ I'm using a Xircom card with the watchdog timeouts, but I'm using a static IP address. It doesn't apply to you, but I've got to do a "ifconfig xe0 up ; sleep 10" before configuring my network settings. ] -- 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.

I seem to have run into a few problems with my new network card. Basically the system can only boot or use the 3Com 589D when I turn off "PNP Operating system" in my BIOS. Isn't isn't really a problem, but when I do that, my soundcard (maestro3) won't work (and that's not good :) Here's what the kernel says: /kernel: uhci irq 9 at device 7.2 on pci0 /kernel: could not map ports /kernel: device_probe_and_attach: uhci0 attach returned 6 /kernel: pcm0: port 0x1400-0x14ff mem 0xfb000000-xfb001fff at device 13.0 on pci0 /kernel: unable to allocate interrupt /kernel: device_probe_and_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6 looks like a conflict.., # dmesg | grep "irq 9" pcic-pci0: irq 9 at device 10.0 on pci0 pcic-pci1: irq 9 at device 10.1 on pci0 uhci0: >VIA 83C572> USB controller> irq 9 at device 7.2 on pci0 # kldstat says, the modules, "snd_maestro3.ko" and "snd_pcm.ko" are loaded. # cat /dev/sndstat says, "device not configured". Wasn't expecting it to work ;) Now the problem is, what do I do next? How do I fix this problem? I know the hardware works, however it doesn't work at the same time. The soundcard will work when I use PNP BIOS turned "on", but as soon as I insert the 3c589D, the system freezes. A complete lock-up. When the situation is reversed it spits out the problems above. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Al P.S.: another problem is, when I enter ep0's (my pccard nic) it won't assign them at all. ifconfig -a just lists ep0 and nothing like ep0's IP or netmask, etc. Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Also, you want the following as suggested by oberman previously: pccardd_flags="-z" That keeps the machine from trying to do anything until the pccards are attached/probed/available. That should solve your problems with bits failing. Alternately you would call a script from pccard.conf by adding an extra 'insert
