OK, I am a step further in getting CURRENT working on the Dreamplug. I have recompiled the CURRENT tree yesterday, more or less merging the august mailinglist settings with the stuff from Jesse White. I still do not get the hardware ethernet addresses from the machine (it still reports 00:00:00:00:00:00), so I decided to set them manually in /etc/start_if.mge0: dramplug-bsd:~ # cat /etc/start_if.mge0 ifconfig mge0 ether f0:ad:4e:01:44:46 The address got picked up if this was a static address in the dhcp server, not if it was a dynamic ip address. But I do have internet on the dreamplug now. I then tried to find out if pkgng would work: the command: pkg add emacs resulted in: The package management tool is not yet installed on your system. Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]: y Bootstrapping pkg please wait pkg: Error fetching http://pkgbeta.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:10:arm:32:el:oabi:softfp/latest/Latest/pkg.txz: Not Found Can anyone tell me what the status is of pkgng for arm, and how I can set it to a comprehensible setting? Last question is that I do not see the wireless network interface. Is that normal, or should I do some magic incantation? Johan Henselmans johan@netsense.nlhelp
