Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG a few things I've found, that I thought I would contribute in the hopes someone who has a PCG-Z505RX would tell me how to configure the sound on this.. I would boot into windows and check the settings there, but unfortunately (or fortunately :) it didn't see the light of day for more than 5 minutes... anyway, the few things I've found so far: I got my raw disk throughput (as measured by dd ) up from 3mb/s to 12 by adding flags 0xa0ffa0ff to my controller wdc0 line in my kernel config file: controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 flags 0xa0ffa0ff also, I noticed that when I would suspend the machine, the fxp0 wouldn't wake up immediately after a resume, but would take a good minute or so to come to it's senses if at all.. after some random poking I discovered that throwing it into promiscuous mode for a moment would wake it right up.. so here's what I did: in /etc/rc.resume, I added: if [ -e /var/run/connected ] then /usr/sbin/tcpdump -n -c 1 > /dev/null 2>&1 fi now, before you jump on me, here's why I have /var/run/connected: in /root/bin, I've got a script called box23.sh: #!/bin/sh echo -n " box23" ifconfig fxp0 inet 10.10.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default 10.10.3.1 > /dev/null 2>&1 ln -sf /root/bin/box23.sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ifup.sh touch /var/run/connected and a script called ifdown.sh: #!/bin/sh ifconfig fxp0 down route delete default rm /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ifup.sh rm /var/run/connected I actually have two other scripts for the other two networks I use my vaio on regularly.. I never have to reboot, it's delightful :) oh, and the end result? if I ping a host, and suspend the vaio, wait a minute, and resume, the pings pick up exactly where they left off and you can't even tell the difference even the first response time.. I don't know how you guys do it! :) thanks, chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
