    HOWTO: Wireless with Intel 3945ABG/4965AGN on FreeBSD 8.0

    A friend of mine had a spare Atheros wifi chip, so I brought my laptop over to test if that one would work better. However, it was a regular PCI while my laptop only supports Mini-PCI. While I was there, I used his wifi to show my problems... but everything worked fine and kept working fine even...

    What video card has the best OpenGL support?

    If you manually update your mesa to 7.6 and apply a patch to the ati driver in ports, you can use f.e. the KDE4 desktop effects with a recent ati chip. There are still some issues with some corruption on the screen, but I haven't had any crashes yet. The progress is looking good! :-)

    freebsd, radeonhd, Xorg, e17?

    I just installed Mesa 7.6 and libDRM 2.4.14 and recompiled the xf86-video-ati driver. KDE4 desktop effects work for me now and glxgears gives me near 1600fps (Radeon HD4850). The desktop effects mess up fonts and parts of the screen up a lot, though. Good to see progress! :-)

    HOW TO: Flash10 plugin, Firefox3 and FreeBSD 7.2 or higher

    Following this guide I got flash half working in opera 10.00 -- sound works, but video does not. At least I can play some of my songs-on-youtube bookmarks :-D

    HOWTO: Wireless with Intel 3945ABG/4965AGN on FreeBSD 8.0

    Unfortunately, that didn't change a thing in my situation. I made the changes, rebooted, did a 'portsnap fetch' which worked, opened my browser to browse to some sites and didn't even get to open a single one of them, because the connection already dropped. Since some people have no big...

    HOWTO: Wireless with Intel 3945ABG/4965AGN on FreeBSD 8.0

    I followed these steps and my wifi connection worked immediately. However, its stability is very... dodgy. The connection drops often and can stay down for minutes on end before resuming. Other OSes do not have this problem on this machine. I read about other people having an unstable...

    Setting up router -- stalled

    It's been a while, but I recall the nvidia nic having the problems when it's not operating on 1Gbit. Before I switched the nics, the nvidia one was communicating with my fibre line (35Mbit) and my intel nic with my internal network (1Gbit). After switching the nvidia nic to the 1Gbit network, it...

    Setting up router -- stalled

    Okay, the problem is solved now. Thanks to honk for helping me via email! The evildoer was the nvidia nic (nfe0). Several topics on the web pointed to it performing badly on several occasions. It was suggested to me that I should turn off tcp checksum offloading and tcp segmentation...

    Setting up router -- stalled

    Thanks for replying again. I'll try to explain it once more before I will post the information you requested. * Desktop -> uses server as gateway -> no problems whatsoever * Server -> login via terminal -> scp to the internet -> stalled * Remote user -> connects to my home IP via http ->...

    Setting up router -- stalled

    It's not just serving to clients, it's also using scp myself. I had a a friend connect to http://<my ip>/ where I had a phpinfo() in an index.php. He did see the output, though it took ages for the complete page to transfer. When I put a file there, he got it, verrrrry sloooowly. When scp'ing...

    Setting up router -- stalled

    Hi, today I got my fiber connection replacing my dsl line. I have always used a nice Linksys DSL modem / router for my dsl line, but it won't work with the fiber connection (it lacks an ethernet uplink port). I decided to use my BSD home server to be my router for the time being. I have...

    gnash or flash

    I had it running on PCBSD on my laptop. Also, they claim to be compatible with both Linux and BSD. I don't recall the version I had installed, though.

    What are you doing with FreeBSD?

    I use FreeBSD 7.0 for my home server, serving files via NFS/SMB, running Apache + PHP + MySQL for the rare web development I still do, torrent daemon (BTG), sabnzbd, and mediatomb.

    gnash or flash

    How about swfdec? I was more impressed with it than with gnash, back when I tried it. Downside is lack of support in opera, but I think the same goes for gnash.

    System randomly panics

    Good idea. Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 Memory: 2x Kingston KVR400X64C3A/1G, 1024 MB, DDR, PC3200, 400 MHz (were running in dual channel mode)

    System randomly panics

    Just a last update. On the mailing list someone replied saying he had the same issues I had; perfect scores in memtest86+ but still kernel panics with high quality memory and a high quality main board. Somehow the memory and main board were not happy working together. Replacing the memory...

    System randomly panics

    Good to hear it may be a useful dump at last. I have added it to my original problem report. Now let's hope for some developer to take notice :-)

    System randomly panics

    Back again. For the past few days I have let the server running. During lunch today at work I checked the uptime and noticed it had reset and was at 7 minutes, meaning the server had rebooted again. After checking the /var/crash directory, I did not see a new vmcore. Seems I was out of...

    System randomly panics

    "Crap", is all I can say :-( I read a bit about this DDB thing, but it looks way out of my league. I guess I have to settle with random reboots or replace the OS and reformat all data disks again some time. Ugh. Thanks very much for helping out so far, I really appreciate it.

    System randomly panics

    After seeing the output in my terminal and assuming you are correct that it is either a loadable module or hardware, I'd have to conclude it is some hardware problem. kldstat output: [root@merry /home/jurrie]# kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 1 0xffffffff80100000 ac6f08...
