Not sure, but the serial interface seems to be based on CP210x chip series. Try to load uslcom https://www.yaesu.com/Files/BB2B47AE-1018-01AF-FAE48FDCB1919193/USB_Driver_Installation_Manual_ENG_2202-D.pdf

and if uslcom doesn't work, there are others: uark, ubsa, ubser, uchcom, uftdi, umcs, umoscom, uvscom. All found via a simple apropos serial in my closest FreeBSD shell. Very often, I can figure out the necessary driver from the usbconfig output...

Ha ha! No. You can do that yourself. :D I have been a ham since I was 13 years old in 1956. I am 83 now. We use the internet for information exchange and discovery, but have no need to use it to communicate with. We prefer just good old Radio...

As a separate shoutout (sorry, I don't know how to help you with the the actual problem) - how cool is ham radio internet? That's, like, 10 times better than TOR. Is there a world wide ham radio web? Can you hook us all up?

I'm not sure I understand your setup here. Does it look like this: "C", a single FreeBSD system "R", a Rig Blaster connected to "C" via USB cable "F", an FT-890 connected to "C" via USB cable ----------- | | | [FreeBSD] | |...

I actually combatted an earlier price range by lowering my speed. I forget the figures, but the lessening of speed didn't have any noticeable effect. As we all know in the US, there's no real competition. View...

Does bhyve even support CSM (legacy BIOS) anymore? The port that provided a legacy BIOS was removed ages ago.

What makes a USB device bootable depends on whether the system is using legacy BIOS or UEFI, but in both cases the firmware must find valid boot structures on the device. In legacy BIOS mode the USB must contain a valid MBR in the first 512...

Ahh Twitter. I closed my Twitter account about four years ago.

What makes a USB device bootable? I know you have to enable BIOS for booting from USB, but I often find that some devices don't show up and sometimes they show up but you can't boot from them. If they do show up, does mean you should be able to...

scottro Spectrum raised my internet rate, too, by five dollars with no notice. Spectrum gives a good rate on phone, too, that includes international calling when I travel. Phone usage is all Verizon. But that means I'm stuck with Spectrum should...

Yes, they (spectrum) just raised our rate. (NYC). However, my wife has realized she doesn't use the TV, so we'll be able to save a bit by getting rid of that part of it.

Not sure it will work. I *think* you need an ISO file. If I understand your post, you will only have a console, no GUI.

after 10 years with a help of AI : https://github.com/spagu/acpi_intel_sst sound just works.

I don't know if it's still around but there's also Nomad BSD which is meant to go on a USB stick. It uses openbox, a more minimalistic window manager. But glancing again over the thread, I think I'd agree with many here. There's a ton of Linux...

Try a DE from the most unique computer you have (High DPI/res, touchscreen, 2-in-1); that's what had me choose GNOME back around 2014 (Plasma 5 didn't have an on-screen keyboard; GNOME was consistent everywhere) I'd pick Xfce on FreeBSD; it's...

Devuan is without systemd. You could install that instead https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/setting-up-a-devuan-linux-jail-on-freebsd-if-fails-to-connect-to-the-network-inside-the-jail.83036/

This is an old machine, it is probably running hotter than it should due to thermal paste age. If you are comfortable opening it up, you could replace the thermal paste with fresh, and see if the temperature goes down. Lower temperature - less...

Hi everybody 👋 I'm just getting serious about switching to FreeBSD. :) It's funny, it doesn't feel like I chose it as much as my path led here. It just makes sense for me to move to FreeBSD. It's not my first experience with FreeBSD either. I...

First, I have installed FreeBSD ver 15.0-RELEASE and the Lumina desktop. Mouse and keyboard are USB and are recognized and are working correctly. I am trying, almost desperately, to get a completely operable system fully outside of Windows. FYI...

To take this thread on a tangent, I find your RH freedesktop.org message intriguing. Where did you find that?

I pointed a neophyte at desktop-installer. It was too much for her. YMMV.

You could install a few desktops. Don't use gdm, kdm, sddm, dtlogin or any other XDM-like utility. Just use xdm. Now create your own .xsession file with the following: case $DESKTOPSESSION in '') case $XDMWM in '') #...

It is only empty because when the zroot pool datasets were created by zfs, they were given mountpoints outside the /zroot directory.

Another machine I used to work on was a 43P running AIX... can't remember which version. That box had 256 MB RAM, and at the time was a top-notch desktop development machine. https://unixhq.com/systems/ibm-7043-140/ That was of course a full...

Considering that Intel and Nvidia are partnering and that Intel announced a while back that they were stepping back from some of their open-source commitments, I don’t think that’s going to happen. Intel and Nvidia are likely collaborating on...

Sane web developers use feature detection, not browser detection.

A rule for knowledgeable web developers was to never use the user agent for anything because it could be forged. It's a useless metric. If one just follows the standards you would never have any issues except those related to specific browsers...

Spectrum's a cool transmog on Diablo 3 :p

My nephew works for Spectrum. I get certain benefits but don't tell anybody. Unfortunately, those are slowly getting stomped on.

I just tried Netsurf browser with my https://vermaden.wordpress.com/ page loaded - additional 83 MB RAM used. Not great. Not terrible.

So there is a little man in a backroom? I "fight back", and other violent terms, by writing or calling my political representative and voting for or against them if they don't see my way. That's how it's supposed to work in my country but people...

There is no little man in a back room somewhere watching your every move. There is a system somewhere that watches your every move to feed you ads you don't care about but that's been true since time immemorial. I don't give myself up to these...

Not sure what websites break with non-Linux reporting, but it seems odd to specify non-FreeBSD by default (Firefox isn't running in Linuxulator) I wonder if it'd be cooler to have Firefox on FreeBSD default to FreeBSD UA, but have a weak dep on...
