    wpi very slow connection

    On http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/packages/openbsd/ you will find a couple of firmware files for ipw and other devices. The files are intended for OpenBSD but maybe they are working for FreeBSD, too. I don't know the firmware version of wpi on FreeBSD, but if there is on Bergamini/OpenBSD on...

    New firmware: Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG (iwi)

    Hi there, in March 2009 Intel released a new firmware version 3.1 for the WLAN device iwi, aka Intel Pro/Wireless IPW 2200BG. The old fw v3.0 should be replaced by v3.1. So you can get rid of the evil iwi0:scan stuck or iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting messages which are coming...

    Xorg 7.4 upgrade - report

    Confirmation Can confirm this. Today I also did update a couple of modules and now my xorg with the intel-video-driver is working perfect again. The last odd thing was the broken language support (using here a Non-US keyboard) in conjunction with the known moving-mouse problem. Maybe the...

    Hello, Amarok power users already have noticed that a click on the Wikipedia button will end on a site with a useless language selection block. The reason is that Wikipedia changed its layout and in Amarok this layout stuff is hard coded into the C++ code. The solution comes from here...

    HOWTO: Setting up STUNNEL in FreeBSD

    Say, there is a newsserver which offers additional to port 119 a secure connection on port 563. You have an account with your username and password on that newsserver and you would like to use a newsreader which is unable to handle secure connections (e.g. Knode). For safety reasons stunnel...

    server laptop's

    If you will run your server with WLAN, keep in mind the WLAN stability. For a server operation you'll need a perfect working WLAN. I can remember the instability of the build-in Intel Pro Wireless 2200 BG chipset on one of my old laptops. Sometimes the chipset (or the software?) disconnected the...
