My Ethernet is a Linksys ethernet "combo" card (10baseT and 10base2). ed0 is compiled in this kernel; I just don't touch it and the network card worked fine right out of the box. I just plugged it in, FreeBSD recognized it, and all was well. A tiny oddity, but noting bad, is that while booting, FreeBSD tries to set up the network based on the entries in rc.conf. This will of course not work until pccardd has started, so it generates some harmless error messages, but the network gets properly initialized a few seconds later so it's nothing to worry about.

I have another process in mind which _must_ go ahead every night, but needn't be at an exact time. cron doesn't handle this well if the server goes down briefly at the wrong moment, or in rare cases has too high a load and misses a cron job. If I wind up writing my own solution it will probably be based around a set of jobs with the last execution time recorded, and rules to derive the next execution time based on that. A frequent cron job could then check if anything is due to be done and if so do it. If it finds that a job is long overdue it might mail me about it rather than executing it. Depends on the job. Leaving FreeBSD permanently running is not an option. Leaving it permanently connected to the net is not an option either, and some periodic tasks involve using the net. Seems like a related problem. It wouldn't be hard to write something, but it seems like a general enough problem that someone must have already come up with a general and elegant framework.

What about a self-rescheduling at job? at jobs which should have run while the system was down will run when it comes back up.

You don't seem to understand; leave it on when it's where there's power. Turn it off to move it. Although if you can cause a headcrash on a modern laptop disk without destroying the laptop, or removing it and hitting it with a hammer, you're doing damn well.

Documentation on the chip (AM79C940) is readily available from AMD's web site; note however that this chip is _not_ (even slightly) compatible with the other similarly-numbered chips for which FreeBSD drivers already exist. The AMD datasheet appears to give all the info needed to write a driver, but you will be starting from scratch.

A few years ago, I considered about cron alternative (or cron extention) that can manage such environment. It kicks machine from suspended mode and execute programs, and sleeps again when it finished. The reason why I gave up this adea is, there's no generic way to kick the suspended machine. But, now, PC has APM 1.2 standard, and it can set system wakeup time. If apm driver supports APM 1.2, I think this function (and cron alternative) would be useful in green desktop environment (rather than laptop environment). -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi Network Technology Center Keio University hosokawa@ntc.keio.ac.jp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Wed Feb 11 16:09:17 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id QAA19705 for freebsd-mobile-outgoing; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 16:09:17 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from jli.com (jli.com [199.2.111.1]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id QAA19698 for ; Wed, 11 Feb 1998 16:09:14 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from trost@cloud.rain.com) Received: (qmail 12367 invoked by uid 4); 12 Feb 1998 00:07:50 -0000 Message-ID: <19980212000750.12366.qmail@jli.com> Received: (qmail 28785 invoked from network); 12 Feb 1998 00:07:34 -0000 Received: from softdnserror (127.0.0.1) by softdnserror with SMTP; 12 Feb 1998 00:07:34 -0000 To: "Sean J.

I would prefer a 10/100 card, but that is not a >requirement. I just purchased a Linksys Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard for $100 at Staples (yes, the office superstore). It runs beautifully on my Toshiba Satellite 105CS running FreeBSD 2.2.5 + PAO, and I am extremely happy with it. It's a fully NE2000 compatible card and works beautifully with the "ed" driver. It has plugs for both 10Base2 (coax) and 10BaseT (twisted pair), which is nice when you need to plug in but don't know what kind of wiring is available (I travel to clients' businesses a lot). Both plugs are built in to the same connector, so you don't need to carry around two separate connectors. The connector block is also extremely small and lightweight. The card and connector are both extremely rugged -- they look very well constructed, and the parts aren't flimsy, etc. The only problem is that the newer Linksys cards have a slightly different CIS identifier (a code that the card sends to the computer to tell the OS what kind of card it is). Current version of FreeBSD (with or without the PAO patches) don't have a proper pccard.conf entry to recognize this CIS identifier. This means that, for example, if you want to install FreeBSD off of the network using the PAO boot disk, you can't do this (since the card won't be recognized). (I got around this by buying a "LapLink" cable and installing FreeBSD using the PLIP [parallel line IP] protocol). However, once you get FreeBSD up and running, it is an extremely easy and trivial matter to correct the pccard.conf entry and get this card recognized. This is, alas, only a 10Mbps card, but it is still definitely worth considering.

Suggestions? Get used to the thought of paying and consult www.xig.com If it's any consolation, Xi Graphics will give you plenty of time to get used to the thought of paying. I have been waiting, oh, probably two weeks for answers to some questions I emailed them (although I got a friendly letter from a salesbeing the second go 'round). I'll have to have a go with those new syscons patches.

I'm currently running under Xaccel v4.1 for Laptops and CDE (both native FreeBSD, though they are not reving CDE anymore :( I also have the NeoMagic chipset btw. I usually call though, I usually get answers pritty quickly that way. -Sean To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Fri Feb 13 19:11:38 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA15509 for freebsd-mobile-outgoing; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 19:11:38 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mail1.andrew.cmu.edu (MAIL1.ANDREW.CMU.EDU [128.2.10.131]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA15483 for ; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 19:11:26 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mwhite@cmu.edu) Received: from po5.andrew.cmu.edu (PO5.ANDREW.CMU.EDU [128.2.10.105]) by mail1.andrew.cmu.edu (8.8.5/8.8.2) with ESMTP id WAA01357 for ; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 22:11:20 -0500 (EST) Received: (from daemon@localhost) by po5.andrew.cmu.edu (8.8.5/8.8.2) id WAA10181 for post+internet.computing.freebsd-mobile@MAIL1.ANDREW.CMU.EDU; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 22:11:18 -0500 (EST) Received: via switchmail for post+internet.computing.freebsd-mobile@andrew.cmu.edu; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 22:11:18 -0500 (EST) Received: from cmu1.acs.cmu.edu (CMU1.ACS.CMU.EDU [128.2.35.186]) by po5.andrew.cmu.edu (8.8.5/8.8.2) with ESMTP id WAA10176 for ; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 22:11:16 -0500 (EST) Received: from REMISSION.ADSL.NET.CMU.EDU (REMISSION.ADSL.NET.CMU.EDU [128.2.108.202]) by cmu1.acs.cmu.edu (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id WAA23028 for ; Fri, 13 Feb 1998 22:11:14 -0500 (EST) Date: Fri, 13 Feb 1998 22:09:58 -0500 From: "Matt White" To: post+internet.computing.freebsd-mobile@andrew.cmu.edu Subject: PAO install failing Message-ID: <2644535634.887407798@REMISSION.ADSL.NET.CMU.EDU> X-Mailer: Mulberry (Win32) [1.3.1, s/n S-100002] X-Authenticated: mwhite by cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu X-Licensed-To: Campus User MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've been playing around with getting FreeBSD 2.2.5 w/PAO installed on my Sony laptop (PCG-719). However, when I finish configuring PAO and it probes my pcmcia controller, the machine freezes solid. I've tried a number of variations on the parameters to no avail. The pc card/cardbus chipset is the TI PCI-1131 which is theoretically supported. All that being said, I'm relatively new to laptop technologies and haven't run FreeBSD in nearly a year, so I'm a little bit in the dark here. Any help debugging this problem would be greatly appreciated. I know I haven't given a lot to go on, but that's the information that immediately leaps out at me. I would be happy to elaborate further to interested parties. -Matt ---------- Matt White Network Systems Designer Canegie Mellon Computing Services To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
