I recently bought a ThinkPad with a ThinkPad 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini
Express Adapter (AR5212). The kernel's ath driver causes a kernel
panic when I use the network card (I am however able to establish a
connection to the wireless router and get an IP address).

Has anyone had experience with this laptop or wireless card?

Thanks!

Sincerely,

-- Ned Ruggeri

Hi All,

In regards to the T42 -2373. What should I change in the xorg.conf to
comply with this note from the UPDATING file?

20080627:
AFFECTS: users of x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati
AUTHOR: Jung-uk Kim FreeBSD.org>

mach64 and r128 drivers are now separated out from the ati driver.
These video cards are supported by x11-drivers/xf86-video-mach64
and x11-drivers/xf86-video-r128 respectively. If you have one of
the affected video cards and xorg.conf contains the following line:

Driver "ati"

you must specify "mach64" or "r128". Alternatively, you may install
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati to get a wrapper driver.

Sincerely,
Brendhan

S3 suspend/resume works on my Inspiron 1505 as well but only one issue,
when it resumes XWindow shows bad screen, XWindow restart helps. As I

915Resolution or some workaround?

Tobias,

I have a T43 and S3 suspend/resume works like a curse.

Could you please post/send me your kernel conf?

Thanks,
Steve Schmidt

Dear laptopers,

during the honorable quest of converting my wife's laptop from win to fbsd,
I came across the following problem.

It's a Compaq Armada 110; everything works as it should _except_
running X just blanks the screen and freezes the machine (can't
even ping it). The graphics device is

Trident Microsystems CyberBlade i1 (rev 6a)
Subsystem: Compaq Computer Corporation CyberBlade i1 AGP

A workaround is to specify the graphics devoce driver as (generic)
"vga" instead of the (Xorg -configure)'d "trident" in xorg.conf.
That makes X able to start (with a ridicuslously low resolution and
ugly colors).

Does someone please have a working xorg.conf for this machine?

Thanks

Jan

Hi list,

I've tried HAL v. 0.10.5.6 available at Sam Leffler's user directory[1]
in FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2 (amd64) and Gentoo GNU/Linux (hardened/AMD64).

In Gentoo GNU/Linux, I'm able to connect to a WPA2 secured network with
no problems, whereas in FreeBSD, I'm only able to scan the Wireless
network successfully, not able to ping any box. I've tried FreeBSD with
an unencrypted network as well as encrypted network using
wpa_supplicant, but except scanning nothing worked. I can associate with
the access point, but thats it.

I'm running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2 kernel, just replaced
/usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/ath with the directory in tarball, and rebuilt
all modules.

abbe [ath_hal-20080528] monte-cristo%% pciconf -l |grep ath0
ath0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x137b103c chip=0x001c168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00

Any ideas ?

Tons of thanks to Sam for posting the HAL.

Hello,

I'm running the above configuration, RELENG_7 kernel and WPA, on an Asus
laptop eeePC 900 for which one must patch the HAL with:
http://snapshots.madwifi.org/special/madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz )
all is fine, mostly, but when 'bgscan' is activated on the interface
ath0 it get stuck reproduce-able after some time without any traffic through
the interface; setting 'ifconfig ath0 -bgscan' makes the problem going
away;

could it be related to the bug I'm facing on another laptop with
bgscan/WPA/iwi0, see:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=122331

thx

Hello all. I am trying to find a *NIX system that will work with this
system. Mandriva calls the card an AR5006 and Vista said it was an AR5007.
Vista worked fine for about a month or so, but I have decided I want to go
all free on my systems. Mandriva will work with the card but locks up after
a few hours requiring a restart. Not really acceptable. And it is the best I
found in the Linux world. Would any of the BSD systems work with this card?
Any recommendations would be most appreciated.

Isaac MacFarlane
