In my area (not moving from my desk), I can find about 8 distinct wifi networks - 4 of which are on channel 1. If I plug in a router set to channel 1, I can't even get a connection in the same room, there is that much interference. To change it, log into your router and look for wifi configuration. --=-5nLo3ROy6eM2dpJMBHc+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBGSHpzlcRvFfyds/cRAsEwAJ0ZOYh0rjmmiMpUTSUaeQn7Vo3YkACeOnsg kHhxU4j4CXzshDJw2tcR7LM= =rGO3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-5nLo3ROy6eM2dpJMBHc+-- From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Mon May 14 15:50:05 2007 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [69.147.83.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3F48B16A400 for ; Mon, 14 May 2007 15:50:05 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from anderson@freebsd.org) Received: from mh1.centtech.com (moat3.centtech.com [64.129.166.50]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E2DA513C45E for ; Mon, 14 May 2007 15:50:04 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from anderson@freebsd.org) Received: from neutrino.centtech.com (neutrino.centtech.com [10.177.171.220]) by mh1.centtech.com (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id l4EFINVl019822; Mon, 14 May 2007 10:18:23 -0500 (CDT) (envelope-from anderson@freebsd.org) Message-ID: <46487DBF.4080006@freebsd.org> Date: Mon, 14 May 2007 10:18:23 -0500 From: Eric Anderson User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.0 (X11/20070420) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Tom Evans References: <001601c793a5$106c5310$6601a8c0@KGISH> <20070511175144.F69508@volatile.chemikals.org> <200705111520.17774.fcash@ocis.net> <46481352.7010602@qgsltd.co.uk> <499c70c0705140059h48181510n89737ff302814df6@mail.gmail.com> <46481AB7.4040401@qgsltd.co.uk> <499c70c0705140117t429103afl8b97e6bd8f9d4794@mail.gmail.com> <1179155270.1791.18.camel@zoot.mintel.co.uk> In-Reply-To: <1179155270.1791.18.camel@zoot.mintel.co.uk> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Scanned: ClamAV 0.88.4/3243/Mon May 14 05:49:49 2007 on mh1.centtech.com X-Virus-Status: Clean X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.6 required=8.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.1.6 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.6 (2006-10-03) on mh1.centtech.com Cc: Charles Trevor , Abdullah Ibn Hamad Al-Marri , freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Recommended laptops for FreeBSD 6.x ...

I'm not sure on > availability of Core 2 Duo ULV processors in off-the-shelf laptops. For the record, Pentium4 based systems use a LOT more power than either Pentium-M (aka Centrino). I have not carefully evaluated the power consumption of Core Duo systems, but they are higher then similar Pentium-M systems. P4 systems also run much hotter than P-M or Core Duo systems. -- R.

I can't remember exactly what speeds I had prior to 6.2, but they were definitely greater than 11 Mbps, probably closer to 48 Mbps. When I used my old 6.0-RC1 kernel config file with 6.2-RELEASE, it contained "device ath_rate_onoe", and the speed was between 1 and 5 Mbps . I then noticed that the 6.2 ath man page listed "device ath_rate_sample", so I changed my config to use "sample" instead of "onoe", and now I get around 11 Mbps. But it still isn't as fast as it used to be. Nothing changed in my environment other than my client (meaning physical layout, wireless channel, wap firmware, etc).

Please use netperf or iperf to do some real measure instead of reading the output of ifconfig. BTW, higher TX rate does not necessarily mean you will have better TX performance.

Hola José Manuel, Hice que funcionase esa tarjeta en FreeBSD 5.4 y 6.0. Sobre 6.2R hasta ahora no puedo comentar nada. :-) Hi José Manuel, I added support for this card into FreeBSD 5.4 and 6.0. in 2005. The results have been posted to freebsd-mobile, I think, and are also to be seen here: http://www.de-martino.it/FreeBSD/#AEN31 Don't know if this is still working in 6.2R, but I'm short before updating my laptop to 6.2R and I have to make it work again because I'm using it a lot. Come back to me if you need more asistence.

My tablet is a Fujitsu Stylistic ST5030. It has a 12" XGA screen with a Wacom Penabled screen with an active digitizer. The tablet has no keyboard or cdrom drive so the initial installation can be tricky. FreeBSD installation is very well documented so I will just highlight the snafus. Installation: You will need a USB keyboard, or the Fujitsu IR keyboard, and external cdrom drive. If you are clever you could install over the Ethernet port or wireless card instead of using the external drive. Xorg configuration: The Wacom Penabled screen is connected to the system via /dev/sio1 at irq 4 over port 0x220, so you will need to modify your device.hints file. To create you xorg.conf Xorg -configure will do most of the heavy lifting. The wacom drivers included in Xorg do not drive the mouse successfully and are not even included in Xorg 7.2. Working drivers can be found from http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/. The already built driver can be copied from /prebuilt/wacom_drv.so to /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/. You will then need to add additional sections your xorg.conf. These need to be placed in your ServerLayout. InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" These sections also need to be added. Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "cursor" Option "Device" "/dev/cuad1" Option "Type" "cursor" Option "ForceDevice" "ISDV4" Option "Mode" "Absolute" Option "TPCButton" "on" Option "KeepShape" "1" Option "ScreenNo" "0" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Driver "wacom" Identifier "stylus" Option "Device" "/dev/cuad1" Option "Type" "stylus" Option "Button1" "1" Option "Button2" "2" Option "Button3" "3" Option "ScreenNo" "0" EndSection You can get a detail description of these options from the wacom man page included in tarball. Now you should be able to run 'startx' and use the wacom pen as your mouse. Additional configuration: You are probably going to want to use your tablet as it was intended, without a keyboard. Once Xorg has started you can use a virtual keyboard to do your typing. xvkbd works well. It can be found under /usr/ports/x11/xvkbd. But what to do before Xorg starts? Edit /etc/ttys and change 'no' to 'yes' in this line. ttyv4 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure Now xdm will handle logging into the system and starting Xorg. You will probably want xvkbd to be started so that you can logon using only your pen. Edit /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 and add xvkbd to the list of programs to start. You can leave xvkbd running as user root, but I find that not being able to kill it annoying. Edit /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/GiveConsole and add 'killall -9 xvkbd'. Optional features: I run a dual boot system with windowsXP. The default FreeBSD bootloader lets you select which os to boot with F-keys. The only keys you will find on are arrow keys, enter, and some other misc. stuff. The GRUB bootloader, /usr/ports/sysutils/grub, supports using these keys to select your os. One of the nice features found in windows is screen rotation. Xorg can also handle screen rotation using xrandr. What does not support rotation, without some help, is your pen. You need to build xsetwacom, found in the linuxwacom tarball you downloaded, to rotate the pen on the fly. I wrote a small script to run both xrandr and xsetwacom. Another feature of the tablet that you might want to use is the external monitor port. Details about how to do this are found in the i810 man page. Unfortunately there is a bug in the Xorg i810 driver and the 915GM video chip which makes setting up dual monitors tricky. I cannot explain the specific details about this issue, but I can explain the workaround. 915resolution, /usr/ports/sysutils/915resolution, needs to be run before Xorg starts. Now you can use the external monitor port. What does not work: I have yet to find any utility to run the keyboard buttons on the tablet. acpi_fujitsu.ko does not seem to support the Stylistic line of tablets.

It's not clear whether the connection is 'dropped' at all if it still says 'associated' - does it always still report being associated when this occurs? Does anything in /var/log/messages indicate interface wi0 being brought DOWN and UP when this happens? Are you running any scripts or programs that might do any other configuration of wi0? Is 192.168.1.102 a static address, or assigned to you by DHCP? You've given us few clues about your setup, it's unclear whether you control the access point you're connecting to (regarding what people have suggested about choosing another channel than 1) What do 'grep wi0 /etc/rc.conf' and 'dmesg | grep wi0' have to say? > > We reported back in February the problem of > > the second line of your "ifconfig wi0" command output > > (i.e., "inet 192.168.1.102 netmask 0xfffff...") > > simply disappearing after some random amount of idle time. > > > > The wi0 device, however, stays "associated" with the AP, > > but the netork doesn't work anymore. > > > > This also with FBSD 6.2-R. > > -- > > Dr Gary E RAFE: drgerlists at gmail dot com Sounds similar on the face of it .. was that resolved, Gary?
