pcmcia modem + ppp problems under -current


Hi,

I can't make ppp work with a Olitec 28800 pcmcia modem card on my Dell
Inspiron 2600 laptop under -current (1.6B).

The modem is detected as `com3' and i can dial my ISP using cu. But
the modem seems to be unreachable with the command `pppd call myisp'.

Using the same source tree for two boxes

My desktop is running 1.6B, it's a Athlon 1Ghz and the "./build.sh -u"
process is rather fast.

I have a laptop, a PII 266Mhz, and i want to use the same NetBSD on
it. To avoid disk space wasting and long build processes on it, what i
plan to do is to maintain the src tree on my desktop, build it on my
desktop, then update my laptop from my desktop build.

When i was using FreeBSD, i exported my src tree via NFS, i ran "make
buildword" and "make kernel" on the Athlon. Then, i mounted the src
tree on my laptop, then issued a "make installworld" and "make
installkernel" from there. Infortunately, i've no found how to say "i
just want install, not build" (that's ok for kernel, my pb is only
with others distribs)

Any experience would be appreciated.

3Com OfficeConnect Wireless Xjack support


Hi,

I saw an ad for the 3com wireless pccard with pop-up antenna and found it
quite neat. I believe the model number is 3CRSHPW196.

card called "No Wires Needed Swallow 1148".

Is there currently any support for any of these cards in NetBSD or does
anybody know of any other card with a similar retractable antenna?

Dan, 

I'll offer my guess:  No. :/

I think the "pcidevs" file is a superset of what's supported by NetBSD.  I
checked the same sources you did (I have 1.5.2, too), and got the same
answer.  

Perhaps it's available in -current.  You'd have to download the -current
snapshot and grep through that to find out.

NIC problem on HP laptop

I've just done an install of NetBSD 1.5.2 on my HP XE3 laptop, and 
immediately run into a problem with my network card. The install floppies 
went fine, my card was detected without a problem, and autoconfigured my ip 
address fine. Downloaded install sets, installed, all fine. Rebooted, set 
/etc/myname and /etc/mygate to appropriate values. Found my network not 
working. Ran dmesg, saw that my NIC appeared to be getting recognised and 
set correctly (an Accton Tech card of some sort, built in to the laptop), 
but when I tried an 'ifconfig -a' it wasn't listed, and when I did 
'ifconfig tlp0' I got Device not configured.
Going back to my install floppies (using the INSTALL_LAPTOP kernel), and 
running ifconfig -a, I got this:

tlp0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	address: 00:d0:59:32:8d:5d
	media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT)
	status: active

Running dmesg at this point provides the following:

tlp0 at pci0 dev 16 function 0: ADMtek AN985 Ethernet, pass 1.1
tlp0: interrupting at irq 11
tlp0: Ethernet address 00:d0:59:32:8d:
ukphy0 at tlp0 phy 1: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface
ukphy0: OUI 0x000895, model 0x0001, rev. 0
ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto

Back to my actual install (using the GENERIC_LAPTOP kernel), I started 
fiddling around, the dmesg appeared to have the same info as for the floppy 
boot, but still nothing from ifconfig. Given that it was now 5am, I gave in 
and left it for the next day. I don't know what I did, but now my NIC is

Re: where is XFree86 pkg?


you cant install it via pkgsrc that i know of.  just use sysinst.  1.5.x
comes w/ X3, 1.6.x -> current comes w/ X4.

Re: pcmcia modem + ppp problems under -current


drop this into /etc/remote:

modem:dv=/dev/tty02:br#115200:pa=none:dc:

..then try to 'tip modem'.  can you send AT commands that way?  Are you
getting any debugging output from chat or pppd? set you dial command to
"chat -V"

Re: Using the same source tree for two boxes


"build -u" should set update, and avoids running 'make cleandirs', i
think.

Don't forget to also export /usr/obj, i think

Hi,
how can I adjust the colordepth for X???
I changed a few things in XF86Config in the screen section,
