Because of two reasons, first I'm studying how to writ= ing device drivers for FreeBSD and doing something like "Changing igb to fo= o in if_igb.c" could be very useful, second I want to change this name ever= y where e.g. sysctl. Besides that doing this in rc.conf causes an extra boo= t time, and we are trying to decrease boot time.=A0Please help about doing = this job ...=0A From owner-freebsd-drivers@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Oct 28 14:32:12 2013 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-drivers@FreeBSD.ORG> Delivered-To: freebsd-drivers@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [8.8.178.115]) (using TLSv1 with cipher ADH-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B4EAFF56 for <freebsd-drivers@freebsd.org>; Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:32:12 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from soumendraganguly@gmail.com) Received: from mail-wi0-x22f.google.com (mail-wi0-x22f.google.com [IPv6:2a00:1450:400c:c05::22f]) (using TLSv1 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-RC4-SHA (128/128 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id 552702380 for <freebsd-drivers@freebsd.org>; Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:32:12 +0000 (UTC) Received: by mail-wi0-f175.google.com with SMTP id hm4so3931755wib.14 for <freebsd-drivers@freebsd.org>; Mon, 28 Oct 2013 07:32:10 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=20120113; h=mime-version:date:message-id:subject:from:to:content-type; bh=9JPgW/lQmJ8O3K0pH1p4jAjn38LwXiBmxz66EFsQWZ8=; b=pJ7Orf7nY84gsWXUaCy4xbnGSM2fAfKdIU4Q8bxfcZxVkKgoW+5FudprEJNShs58DB ku+QZOVXhOR8swAX9pkXx/MgLTatwuegQhnzy0FiW/rZRQ3VX/IAG2z/bY4fl5BTrGND eFTwINE5dXEvVZuw5hnSAfktUsgVsBfh+k6kKJKIxGE/tcaYKmBuPo8aA8iOkTNQglU1 4Vt8ZmaGWm/2QKc+j1nUTLrc7Tr4Cx2m8Ej4ilr07/yVfkMUD/jufUdVlYWpKMYQnkbz kIvhpgnAznTdX3QfDGm7izg9AhMS2bppJJ5Bz69QBjYX+HQqRK6+F82jrj9bnUcG7cZT GmXQ== MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Received: by 10.194.200.100 with SMTP id jr4mr2325492wjc.37.1382970730719; Mon, 28 Oct 2013 07:32:10 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.216.245.73 with HTTP; Mon, 28 Oct 2013 07:32:10 -0700 (PDT) Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2013 20:02:10 +0530 Message-ID: <CAOW54GWPPYEnxaqXtYJ5HoZ25Bj-KWqXSFENcbD0bpMm3teXLQ@mail.gmail.com> Subject: Drivers for my PC From: Soumendra Ganguly <soumendraganguly@gmail.com> To: freebsd-drivers <freebsd-drivers@freebsd.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-BeenThere: freebsd-drivers@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.14 Precedence: list List-Id: Writing device drivers for FreeBSD <freebsd-drivers.freebsd.org> List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-drivers>, <mailto:freebsd-drivers-request@freebsd.org?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-drivers>; List-Post: <mailto:freebsd-drivers@freebsd.org> List-Help: <mailto:freebsd-drivers-request@freebsd.org?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-drivers>, <mailto:freebsd-drivers-request@freebsd.org?subject=subscribe> X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 28 Oct 2013 14:32:12 -0000 Dear driver developers, I recently bought a notebook (hp pavilion 15-e006tu) which came with FreeDOS. I installed FreeBSD 9.2 (amd64) on it (using dvd1.iso *), removing FreeDOS and later noticed that the Wi-Fi is not working. Then I checked the list of hardwares supported by FreeBSD 9.2 (which I should have done prior to installing the OS) and found out that some of the components of my PC are not in the list. For example the Wi-Fi adapter (RalinkTech VQF-RT3290), the Bluetooth adapter (same model name as the Wi-Fi adapter, Ralink VQF-RT3290), and I do not even know if the Ethernet interface is supported. Later I realized that since the Wi-Fi adapter is not recognized, the FreeBSD installation said something like - 'no configurable NIC found' (or something similar, I hope you know what I mean). I really want to use FreeBSD. My other computer has Windows and Ubuntu on it. I want to port some of my code to FreeBSD. What to do? Please help! I do not know how to write drivers (I would love to be able to though) ! Help, please! * I converted the iso to a usb installation medium to install FreeBSD. I have created an image of the flash drive using dd(1) on ubuntu and saved it to my external hard drive for future use. Thank you. I will be really grateful if someone helps.
