Thank you, CoTones and plamaiziere! Sorry, yes, I know this is a FreeBSD forum and knowing how friendly and knowledgeable it is, I asked :) Well, actually Kagura serves as a gateway and a home-server. Why a gateway? because the Kagura connects to the router via its wifi interface (the...

Strange question... I don't actually understand the need for such rules. But I'm fairly new too :) I hope someone will answer this. I was about to suggest using tables: table <we> { 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3 } pass quick inet from <we> to <we> keep state But that will let...

Hi guys, So I made that old Pentium III work again, and I'm trying to use it as a little home server and a gateway for some machines that aren't connected to the home router. I'm learning PF and wrote this configuration file for this Pentium III that I named KAGURA. # The Topology: #...

Thank you NewGuy, throAU, and shepper! I have the system set up and running, and I read most of the FAQ (or maybe all of it). You were all right. OpenBSD is even "simpler" (as in: more barebones) than FreeBSD, and for my needs it was the better solution IMVHO. Overall, I'm very satisfied with...

According to Nathan Whitehorn [1], ibooks boot at half speed, you can fix that with sysctl dev.cpu.0.freq=1000 And you can make this change permanent by adding it to /etc/sysctl.conf Also, this page might help: https://sites.google.com/site/tingox/ibook_g4_freebsd [1]...

Thanks, @J65nko! I, in fact, just installed it. 5.2/386 that is. Right now it's the barebone thing. I plan to install git, and transmission-daemon and tmux (or does tmux come with their base system?) Now, the real off-topic question: the CPU fan is noisy, I set the CPU at 660 MHz and was...

Thanks for your input, @jpierri and @sossego! In fact, I don't need BGP or Squid. All I need is: git, transmission-daemon, NFS and that about it. Yes, PF in openBSD is more advanced, probably with a simpler syntax, but that's also the case with FreeBSD's PF, IMHO. @sossego, I don't want to...

:) Thanks, SirDice! I like this spirit, and this is why I love this community. So, let's rephrase my questions: Is OpenBSD that different from FreeBSD, that I will learn new stuff? Is a minimal install of OpenBSD equivalent to a minimal install of FreeBSD? What will I really miss if I opt...

Hi all, I'm using FreeBSD on my netbook and desktop machines, but there's that old P4 that I like, that has some 128MB RAM IIRC, and a 40GB IDE HDD. So I thought that I'll just use it like a torrent box, and a git server (for my own projects) and SSH to access it on my LAN (WIFI) I know...

I did, 14 years ago. And I absolutely loved it! If I were to "classify" it, I'd put it in a category that won't include anything else. Really.

Absolutely! I had a problem some days ago with snd_hda, and I had a great experience of reading the code, debugging it and talking with mav@ ; the guy in charge of it. He was nice and very patient with me, and together we made my system work, and it resulted in a patch that will be...

Hi DeathStar, I think we have the same problem, and with mav@ I think that we solved it. See here: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=35383 And please let me know if it works for you too, we'll tell mav@ so that he will update the patch with your subid before MFC'ing in two weeks

Thanks, morbit :) Well, I did what I could, I have to admit that it's my first attempt at debugging and trying to really understand a device driver's code. And when I look at my svn copy of the source, now... Phew! There's so much I could tackle... if I only I had all the time I...

Guess what? With the very precious help from Alexander (mav@), I finally got sound on my Asus EeePC 1001px internal speaker! Yay! :) mav@ was very kind and nice with me, and after some exchange on the ML, we got this patch to fix my problem...

Exactly! That's what I felt about mav@ and ariff@ while reading the MLs! And you, morbit, just demonstrated how wonderful is the FreeBSD community by your suggestions, help, and support! Kudos :)

Thanks again, morbit! Yes, I still think it's a pinout problem, or maybe that gpio thing. I honestly don't know. I tried many combinations, and often I just use "kenv", then I kunload snd_hda and kload it again, and see that the changes were effective using sysctl -a | grep hda I also set...

Thanks for the reply, morbit. In fact, my 9-stable is not that old (9.1 pre-relase) and just to be sure, I also updated the files in /usr/src/sys/dev/sound/pci/hda/ with those in the svn repo as of today, and rebuilt the snd_hda module, but I still can't get the sound to come out of the...

Sorry to revive an old thread, but yes, I do experience the very same problem on my 9-stable with mplayer and OSS. Though I updated both from ports yesterday (make from sources) I'd love to use snd_hda instead of OSS, but snd_hda refuses to give any sound on the internal speaker, so I'm...

Hi all, I have an asus eeepc 1001px, on which I installed 9-stable. I, since day one, never had any sound coming out of the speaker, but when I plug a headphone in the jack, I have the sound -in the headphones. I read, and re-read the man page for snd_hda so many times, but I just...
