I know many people who already use a (well chosen) 5-CURRENT snapshot to serve
as PF+ALTQ gateway in production environment. For ALTQ there is the problem
of "will your driver be supported?". The only way to get this fixed is to
help me with the testing *now*, see:
http://people.freebsd.org/~mlaier/ALTQ_driver/
for details. If your favorite driver is untested, test it. If it is not there
at all, send me a ping and I'll provide a testable patch.

I created this <hysteria.sk/~neologism/wifi.patch> which could solve problem of
wifi driver not being able to switch among speeds.
I added two files into
sys/net80211/
and change sys/conf/files to
net80211/ieee80211_proto.c optional wlan
+ net80211/ieee80211_rssadapt.h optional wlan
+ net80211/ieee80211_rssadapt.c optional wlan
netatalk/aarp.c optional netatalk
(semi-diff, ie. I added that two files)
and it gives me this message:
"Makefile", line 3104: warning: duplicate script for target
"ieee80211_rssadapt.
ln" ignored
"Makefile", line 3107: warning: duplicate script for target
"ieee80211_rssadapt.
o" ignored
(but it proceeds further) and finally it fails with:
link_elf: symbol ieee80211_rssadapt_raise_rate undefined
simply said - the ieee80211_rssadapt.c didnt get compiled at all (so linker
cannot find the symbol)
By applying the patch and defining wi device you can get the same behaviour
thnx for help

remove this line. You only specify sources for object files in conf/files.

GNATS is FreeBSD's problem report (PR) system. freebsd-gnats-submit is
the address that PR's and followups to PR's should be sent to. Either
you have filed a PR, or somebody has sent a follow-up message to one of
your PR's. Alternatively, it could just be some spammer forging e-mail
addresses and choosing them at random.
G'luck,
Peter

No need for the .h files. That's likely what is confusing things.

As someone helpfully pointed out off-list, mozilla 1.7 needs jdk1.4 .
It wouldn't suck to have this in ports/UPDATING.

Hi,
I am working with the Kernel config file to optimize it and also to improve the overall security of the system!
I have the following quetions:
(1) There are a few options that are not available in the default kernel... like the IPFIREWALL options(and the like)... I basically need to know all possible options I can add to the kernel config file!
(2) I guess these options can be used to set the kernel variables accessible through the sysctl command. So can I create my own options so that I can set a few kernel variables as and when I build the custom kernel?
(3) and also my aim includes optimizing the kernel... so by enabling only the options I need to I should get a get optimization... is there anything else that can be done?
(4) My aim is to improve local and network security. I guess enabling IPFIREWALL helps with the network security part.... are there any special options for local security?
Thank you.

I think this is related to the thread about "next generation" kernel
config stuff, but for starters you might want to take a look at the
NOTES file.
> (2) I guess these options can be used to set the kernel variables accessible through the sysctl command. So can I create my own options so that I can set a few kernel variables as and when I build the custom kernel?
Perhaps what you are looking for is the tuning manual page?
> (3) and also my aim includes optimizing the kernel... so by enabling only the options I need to I should get a get optimization... is there anything else that can be done?
By excluding all the unnecessary code from the kernel you are
performing kernel minimization. What you are really looking for
is the run time system optimizaion (configuration process) for a
particular task that it is going to perform.
> (4) My aim is to improve local and network security. I guess enabling IPFIREWALL helps with the network security part.... are there any special options for local security?
Enabling IPFIREWALL option won't help your security, but configuring
your firewall properly will. Also, there is some useful theoretical
information in the security manual page.

Hi all,
what's the license under which arl(4) is distributed? The source doesn't
contain any copyright or license header. I would appreciate it, if someone
could fix that.
