The card should be supported by FreeBSD's ath(4) driver. If not, you can more than likely use ndis with the 3com-supplied driver from their website. (hint: even though it's a Windows executable you can just run unzip against it. The only files you are interested in will be net5213.inf and net5213.sys). In general, you should supply as much detail as possible when posting to a forum like this one. Things you left out of your original message include: What version of FreeBSD you are running. What you have tried. What problems you encountered. Be sure to include all of that and any other relevant information if you still need help.

The former is easy. Press some button on your laptop 2-3 times. The latter is sort of impossible, unless you cheat by using one of those 802.11 beamers. If you can find one of those, you at least have the hardware to drive the beamer independently of your LCD. I haven't seen one that can be driven using X, but then I haven't looked.

Microsoft can now handle dual displays, so more modern laptops are capable of displaying different things on the LCD panel and the external connector. It's not always clear whether X can handle it; for example, I've had a Dell Inspiron 6000 for 6 months now, and I still can't work out how to get it to drive the external display correctly. Note that there are many other issues with external monitors, and even more with projectors: many projectors are much more finicky about signal timing, and will just shut off if they don't like what they're given. Again, the Microsoft world has normalized this sort of thing. If you're planning to use projectors a lot (for presentations, for example), it's a good idea to mimic Microsoft timings.

Not tried it with my Toshiba yet, but I assume it works the same as on my desktop. Just treat it like a multihead video card. The hard part with X is getting it to only display stuff on the external screen when something is connected. > Note that there are many other issues with external monitors, and > even more with projectors: many projectors are much more finicky > about signal timing, and will just shut off if they don't like what > they're given.

I have been having trouble trying to get a Cardbus wireless NIC working in FreeBSD. The card is a D-Link DWL-650, which has been tested and found to work in XP and SUSE on the same laptop, and XP on another. The laptop in question is a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo A 1650. It is my understanding that FreeBSD 6.0 supports PCMCIA/Cardbus out of the box, yet installing the card in a running FreeBSD 6 system on said laptop doesn't even cause any of the status lights to flicker. Nor are any messages printed to the console regarding the insertion or removal of the card (Yes, I enabled pccard_enabl= e in rc.conf ;-) ) Can anyone help with this, please?

After inserting the D-Link card you should probably run a quick 'ifconfig ath0' to see if you have a new network-interface - the 'ath' driver is a generic part of the generic kernel, so if you havn't done any changes to your local kernel you should not need to 'kldload if_ath' (to load the appropriate kernel module). I have the same pc-card, but I did a bit off kernel-modding, so I manually load the 'ath' module ...

I'm afraid that ath is NOT in Generic in 6.0 nor is it in 6.1-RC or 6-stable. It's not even in Current. (I'm not sure why this is the case.) You will need to add it to you kernel config or 'kldload if_ath'. If you always want it to load, add the line 'if_ath_load="YES"' to /boot/loader.conf. Whether this will fix the problem, I can't say, as I don't know if the DWL-650 you have uses an ath chip. Also, pccard_enable is obsolete in V6. It was used with OLDCARD in earlier version of FreeBSD, but the CardBus code does not use it. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

Just to reply to a less important aspect of your question - I find that kldunloading the nvidia module frequently causes panics on many different computers. Also I have had trouble getting nvidia drivers to work on more modern hardware. The solution that works for me is to wait until nvidia upgrade their software and/or to wait until the computer manufacturer updates their BIOS. One of these always fixed the problem for me, but it did require waiting about 6 months to a year. In the mean time, have you tried the nv driver? It might not give cool 3D acceleration, but it may well work.

What I did with a wide screen was to do a google search on Modeline and the name of the monitor I was using and the resolution I was wanting.

Since I can't make this happen someone else needs to dig. As to better performance, onoe is not especially good and I do not recommend it. However sample is too aggressive on up-shifting the tx rate and tends to vary the rate too quickly so can degrade performance when signal deteriorates. I have done extensive testing of all the rate control algorithms as well as a proprietary one and chose sample as the default. However none are anywhere near as effective as the proprietary one.

Excuse the naive question, but if I were to try using a different rate control algorithm than the default one, then how specifically would I go about doing so? Currently I just do kldload -v if_ath Should I also (or instead?) run kldload -v ath_rate_onoe or something?? Ideally, I'd prefer not to have to change the default algorithm, but something with the current "ath" driver is just not working well for me. Ross.

If you've got stuff compiled into the kernel then specify the appropriate device.

OK, I see - "ath_rate_sample" turns out to be the default because it appears last in the list of "ath_rate_*" in "/usr/src/sys/modules/Makefile". Thanks. FYI, the performance of my "ath0" device has improved noticeably since I started using "ath_rate_onoe" instead of "ath_rate_sample". However, I am still seeing the occasional "ath0: device timeout" error. >I have done extensive testing of all the rate control algorithms as >well as a proprietary one and chose sample as the default. However >none are anywhere near as effective as the proprietary one. What is the problem with the 'proprietary' algorithm? Is it that Atheros has not released the source code? Or are there patent issues?? How does Linux deal with this - do they just used a closed source binary kernel module, or something? Also, out of curiosity, what is "ath_rate_amrr", and how does it compare with the other two available algorithms (onoe and sample)? Ross.

This is with a Compex WLM54AG miniPCI card. Is this a known issue, and is a fix in the works? Ross. I had that on a laptop. Was also getting it with the ethernet device (a realtek). when I updated to current the problem went away. I can't offer that as an official solution; but if you are comfortable with current it's worth a go. ====== Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are truth, and his ways are justice; and he is able to bring low those who walk in pride.

The only significant difference in ath between stable and current is that the task q thread runs at PI_NET on current and whatever priority kthread_create assigns on stable. However I don't believe this is relevant. A watchdog timeout means a tx request was pending for 5 seconds w/o the hardware delivering a tx interrupt. In my experience this occurs only when the tx descriptor is setup wrong and causes the tx dma h/w to wedge. So when this happens what people need to provide is a dump of the tx descriptors and associated tx buffer state (athdebug reset will do that). Otherwise the only explanation I can come up with is that the watchdog timer is not being turned off and is firing wrongly. Sam
