    php5 -> php53 how?

    Just read this is /usr/ports/UPDATING: What is the easiest way to "transfer" my PHP install to lang/php53? I still have not upgraded to 5.4 and don't plan to.

    OpenGL and GTK2

    I contribute towards an open source Gtk app that uses OpenGL for its rendering. It uses GtkGlExt. GtkGlExt comes with simple examples that show you how it's done. Works well.

    TAB problem

    I noticed in sysinstall that when you create a user account, the shell defaults to /bin/sh . I think this is a bug. It should be /bin/tcsh instead I think.

    TAB problem

    I'll bet you shell where TAB does not work is /bin/sh . Try the "chsh" command, and change your shell to /bin/tcsh .

    Use MySQL Commands in a Shell Script

    You should read the man page for the mysql command. Have you used the mysql command before? Normally you start it from a shell, and it "logs in" to MySQL and brings you to the "MySQL prompt" where you type SQL commands and such. If you want to execute SQL statements directly from your shell...

    Why BSD?

    To answer #2, one of the differences that I personally find important is the license associated with the operating system. FreeBSD uses a BSD license. For example, Apple can use FreeBSD in their products and sell them. Things are a bit different with Linux, because it uses GPL. To answer #4...

    Driver for this Atheros card (DWA-552)?

    Bad news. I recompiled world and GENERIC kernel after deleting /usr/src/ and getting RELENG_7_4. Still no worky. Grepping for "ath" in the output of "dmesg -a" did not give any interesting hits. How does this line: #define AR9280_DEVID_PCI 0x0029 /* AR9280 PCI Merlin */ "enable"...

    Driver for this Atheros card (DWA-552)?

    Nothing interesting in dmesg. I'm going to remove /usr/src/, get it again, recompile GENERIC and world, just as a sanity check.

    Driver for this Atheros card (DWA-552)?

    I am trying a new PCI card in my router, it's a D-Link DWA-552. Running GENERIC 7.4 i386 kernel. Seems that no driver is "registered" for this chip. I thought that ath would do it. Output of "pciconf -lv": none1@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x3a7d1186 chip=0x0029168c rev=0x01...

    What kind of structure is required to block waves at these frequencies? Like a fine cage made of metal? Would be interested to see how your hostap behaves with and without other wireless devices interference. BTW I'm not a developer at FreeBSD. So I really don't know what's going on. I am...

    I had a look at those threads. You say you don't know what you changed that fixed your problem. I'll bet it's the channel you're using. Do you live on a farm away from civilization or in the middle of a crowded street? Would be nice to know if you can confirm that your problem depends on the...

    Solved [Solved] Yet another Atheros upgrade horror story

    I'd like to get to the bottom of this issue w/o changing the channel I'm using every time this problem occurs. I tried looking at sysctl variables for ath. sysctl -a | grep hw\.ath hw.ath.txbuf: 200 hw.ath.rxbuf: 40 hw.ath.regdomain: 0 hw.ath.countrycode: 0 hw.ath.xchanmode: 1...

    Solved [Solved] Yet another Atheros upgrade horror story

    Oh wow, I fixed this problem. But there is still a bug in the underlying driver in my opinion. My fix was the change a single line in /etc/rc.conf. The original line: ifconfig_ath0="ssid speedy.i mode 11g mediaopt hostap channel 11 up" The new line: ifconfig_ath0="ssid speedy.i mode 11g...

    I want to thank whoever formatted my post. I actually have the formatting instructions bookmarked but I was in a hurry to make this post. I'll start using the formatting in my next post probably. Also, I'll post the solution once I find it. I'm now trying various things.

    I'm posting this here because after hours of research online I have not found a solution to my problem. I was running 7.1. But since it's EOL now, I upgraded to 7.3, and then to 7.4 (upgraded twice trying to solve the problem below). From dmesg: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem...

    Just Installed and when to back it up

    I do backups of my 2 servers about once a month. I have never encountered a catastrophe where a full backup was needed, but I have had to recover individual files. The commands I enter to do the backup are as follows. I actually do an SSH command with the '-R' flag from my home computer to...

    raw socket

    My guess is that iphdr and udphdr are not defined on FreeBSD. I had a look at /usr/include/netinet/ip.h on a Linux machine and sure enough these structs are defined. I had a look at /usr/include/netinet/ip.h on a FreeBSD machine and they are missing. I guess the answer is don't use these...
