MiniPCI WiFi cards free to a good home

Hi talk --

As the subject line says, I have a bunch of minipci (not minipci-e; what 
I have are the bigger, older) wifi cards that I don't need anymore, so 
I'm offering them to nycbug people for free. These cards are good for 
soekris and mikrotik boards, and older laptops. Please check to make 
sure you can use them.

Other OpenBSD devs (and free/net/dfly devs) get first priority (if 
you're a f/n/d dev, let me know so you can get the dev bump); other than 
that, first come first served.

All cards are used but presumed working (I no longer have the hardware 
to test, but there's no reason these cards should not work).

Here's a list of what I have, plus their corresponding OpenBSD driver:
* ALPHA Networks WMP-N06SA.03, Atheros AR5008+AR5416 (athn)
* Broadcom BCM94318MPG Rev 4 (bwi - may not work on OpenBSD/other BSDs)
* Intel WM3B2200BG (iwi)
* Unknown AR5212A (ath)
* Unknown RTL8185L (no OpenBSD [no BSD?] driver - write your own!)
* Unknown WL-850R/E, RT2561T (ral - should work but never tested)

I'd prefer it if I hand it over to you at the next nycbug meeting, but 
by all means if you're willing to pay the few bucks for me to mail it 
that is ok as well.

Email me off-list if interested.

Cdorked.A Backdoor

<div>
    Hey - anyone else been able to find more reliable information on
    this backdoor?&nbsp; This is pretty much the only semi-useful information
    I've been able to dig up on it today:<br><br><a href="http://www.welivesecurity.com/2013/05/07/linuxcdorked-malware-lighttpd-and-nginx-web-servers-also-affected/">http://www.welivesecurity.com/2013/05/07/linuxcdorked-malware-lighttpd-and-nginx-web-servers-also-affected/</a><br><br>
    While I'm specifically interested to see is if this is an
    application level vuln, something to do with the linux kernel's only
    ,thus making my *BSD servers mostly safe, or what...<br><br>
    Thanks!<br>

Crypto Anarchy

<div><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tr><td valign="top"><div>All<br>  I was rereading Tim May's Crypto Anarchy manifesto  1. While still relevant today there are a few things that date his work and I wonder if anyone could comment on them.  He mentions Ku-Band transmitters , I assume he is talking about satalite  microwave based communication but what system , is there or was there some form of this available to common users or just governments ?  Also tamper-proof boxes , is he referring to hardware or the concept of say tar'ng up a file encrypting it and signing it ? <br><br> In any case I wonder what today's readers take away from this text . <br><br><br><br>1. http://www.activism.net/cypherpunk/crypto-anarchy.html</div></td></tr></table></div>

doc lounge during BSDCan

For those of you attending BSDCan this year, there will be a doc lounge each evening (May 15-18) from
19:00-21:00. For the FreeBSD folks, there will be committers on hand to help get people started, review
doc patches, and commit them for you. If you've ever wanted to help improve the docs or have a particular man
page or Handbook chapter in mind that needs improving, this is a great opportunity to get it done.

This room is not limited to FreeBSD docs. If anyone else is interested in improving docs for any of the BSD
projects (or derivatives), feel free to make use of this space. If you have a doc commit access for any BSD
project, consider making use of and promoting this space as a way to get people interested in docs involved
with your project.

Cheers,

Dru

Ahh... got it.

There were a lot of off-line discussions in regards to the 'v'..

Virginia?  Virtuous?  Verisign?

Good stuff, and keep us in the loop.

Wikipedia updates

Anyone have the privileges/login to Wikipedia?  So much updates to
make/inaccuracies to correct when it comes to the BSDs.

Look the ARM hardware... RPi, for instance.

The "Comparison_of_proxifiers"...

It would be nice if we had a dump box for this stuff.. .that someone
could pickup and then rectify on Wikipedia.

The reality is, people do use it as fact.  Sort of like that AllState
commercial with "Everything on the internet is true"...

Intel EM/IGB Version question

Talk
 I am looking into upgrading the em and igb driver used in FreeBSD
9.1-RELEASE . I want to investigate an issue at work, and I want to
see how igb 2.3.8 works vs the stock one. This lead me to discover a
good question.  Is there any way to tell the version of a driver, from
userland in FreeBSD ?  In particular how can I tell which version of
the em and igb driver I am using ? I can see from the detailed release
notes that 9.1-RELEASE has Igb version 2.3.4 and em version 7.3.2 but
other then that is there a way ?
