    Solved Backlight set to zero after X server starts

    Hi rotech911 and welcome to the forums. I looked at the man page for the Xorg intel driver to see whether you could put something in a configuration file rather than running a command. Unfortunately configuring the brightness appears to require running xrandr, which is no improvement on your...

    Solved Canon Canoscan LiDE 220 Not Working

    Sevendogs, I also just bought this model of scanner precisely because it would be fully supported by graphics/sane-backends. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, mainly because I was waiting to upgrade my desktop system to FreeBSD 10.3. I'll let you know if/when I get it working.

    UFS UEFI booting with separate /boot partition

    Regarding kpa's suggestion, I see from the release announcement for FreeBSD 10.3:

    UFS UEFI booting with separate /boot partition

    Have a look at 51393. It is written for ZFS on GELI but can be adapted for using UFS on GELI. Not that I am aware of; what you want was not configurable for FreeBSD 10.1 and I don't see any indication of a change in the release notes for FreeBSD 10.2. However, given your question I can have a...

    Struggling with jail networking

    Futher to lme@'s post, if you are running sshd on the host and in the jail, you need to modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config for each so that ListenAddress is the host's IP in the configuration file on the host and the jail's IP for configuration file in the jail. That is totally normal. Jail IP...

    Erm... Assuming you don't have the skills and/or time to fix the bug with the wpi driver yourself, I think I covered the obvious other option :) Reconfiguring the access point to use a different channel is easy and is unlikely to affect any other device. Your father wouldn't even notice if...

    No Wi-Fi

    Bad news, I am afraid. I see there is 172706, which has not yet been fixed, reporting the same issue. It also suggests using one of the channels available with the country as "US" (that is 1-11) as a work-around. You mentioned you had another USB WiFi card. Perhaps you could use that and...

    No Wi-Fi

    Of course, if you could change the channel of the wireless access point to something between 1 and 11, I would expect everything would work fine...

    No Wi-Fi

    In your screenshot, your WiFi card is still showing as configured for US region, though when you changed it by hand using ifconfig wlan0 country Netherlands it you said the command ran successfully. I am confused. I looked at the script that handles wireless network set up (relevant section...

    Nessus and Nmap running in Jail

    It looks like Nmap at least is not using just ICMP for host discovery. I see in Nmap's fine manual:

    Nessus and Nmap running in Jail

    My thought is that if they were exactly the same, they would both work :) Perhaps you could look for differences with tcpdump or net/wireshark?

    Nessus and Nmap running in Jail

    Could it be that the packets Nmap and Nessus are generating are not surviving the transition across the firewall and NAT boundary?

    Great -- so I hope if we can also configure your WiFi card to use channel 13 (which it wasn't before) then you will be able to connect, unless there are also other issues. So, the good news is that you successfully managed to change country from US to Netherlands. The bad news is that your...

    Slow down a bit -- running service netif restart will make various call to ifconfig and put you back where you started. OK, so additional channels 12, 13 and 14 (for 802.11g) are available under Arch GNU/Linux... Did you check which channel the access point is using? After you successfully...

    Another thought: perhaps the wlan0 interface needs to be created with the country parameter set. Try ifconfig wlan0 destroy && ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 country Netherlands.

    No Wi-Fi

    Perhaps. Can you check which channel the router is operating on as you offered? That will at least tell us whether it is a channel that your WiFi card can currently use. I'm not sure why the attempt to change the country failed. Perhaps the wlan0 and/or wpi0 interface needs to be marked as...

    No Wi-Fi

    Let's eliminate my channel theory. In your screenshot of output from ifconfig wlan0, there is part of one line that says country US. I suspect this will limit the channels your WiFi card can operate on. It should be possible to display available channels (noting I'm not on a FreeBSD machine...

    PF My first ruleset; what am I doing wrong?

    When remote rule editing is your only choice, a good tip is to set up crontab to disable the firewall every few minutes or at least to load a known working ruleset that will grant you remote access. Also, you may find it useful to use pfctl (something like pfctl -n newruleset) to parse your...
