Thank you SirDice and DutchDaemon.

Oh, I did not know that the ctags came with the base system. I just thought I installed it from the port. Also is there a command which tells me whether the program is from the base or from the ports. Thank you.

Hi, I've ctags-5.8 installed on my system. I used ctags -R --sort=yes --c++-kinds=+p --fields=+iaS --extra=+q . with vim on linux with exuberant ctags. But using this on the FreeBSD system with ctags-5.8 gives me ctags: illegal option -- R usage: ctags [-BFTaduwvx] [-f tagsfile] file...

Thank you guys.

Hi, I would like to change the mirror from which the packages are fetched. The fetch from the default mirror is very slow. How can I change this. Is it possible to test for and choose from some fastest mirror from a list of available mirrors. Thank you.

The Haskell wiki give a good intro to this.

Thank you wblock, for explaining.

Thank you. adding SYNCDHCP to /etc/rc.conf and rebooting worked. While a simple dhclient wlan0 did not work. Can you please tell me why or point to where I can learn the reason. Also earlier I had only DHCP for ifconfig_wlan0 in /etc/rc.conf but it did not work, changing to SYNCDHCP it...

I would definitely like to know the link to that web page, if you remember it. I found (and liked it very much) this project in the FreeBSD projects list. But it was an idea for Summer of Code 2010. I am wondering if this has been implemented? Thank you.

Actually I thought I will play with Gnome Network Manager till someone suggests me a beginner project so I downloaded the source of Gnome network manager, and am looking at the developer docs. Trying to get a basic idea of D-Bus. I'll get back once get the basic understanding of things in the...

Hi all, I've been learning programming (mostly c) and general OS concepts(Modern OS, Andrew Tannenbaum) for a while now. While doing the bookish stuff I realized I can learn more when I write more programs. I would like to know if there are any beginner projects, that I can learn and...

Hi, ifconfig wlan0 list scan is now working. Thank you wblock and cheme for the answers and your time.

I have a typo in there. I've now corrected it and will see if this will work. I'll post back in a minute after I reboot. Thank you.

no. The results do not change. I mean it shows no results at all. mybox# ifconfig wlan0 list scan mybox# mybox# ifconfig wlan0 scan mybox# Thank you.

I tried everything it does not scan at all. I tried using the following command # wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ioctl[SIOCS80211, op 103, len 128]: Device not configured Failed to initiate AP scan. ioctl[SIOCS80211, op 103, len 128]: Device not configured Failed to...
