wondering about apm_cpu_{idle,busy}() in sys/i386/apm/apm.c
Hello, I am doing some experiments with my new laptop and APM, so I carefully read the apm(4) source (sys/i386/apm/apm.c), and I found the functions apm_cpu_idle() and apm_cpu_busy(). I understand the double CPU halting issue. However, I wonder about where are these two functions invoked from: jose@v-ger[~]$ find /usr/src/sys -name "*.[chsS]" | xargs fgrep apm_cpu_idle /usr/src/sys/i386/apm/apm.c:apm_cpu_idle(void) /usr/src/sys/i386/include/apm_bios.h:void apm_cpu_idle(void); And the same happens with apm_cpu_busy(). Are these functions actually used in the kernel? What did I miss?

Wanted: sound API experts for OpenH323 (NetMeeting for Unix) project
Hi, I need some help with the sound ioctls for the OpenH323 project. (OpenH323 can be called NetMeeting for Unix) OpenH323 is an Open Source H323 Video Conferening package, with full duplex audio and bi-directional video. It is ported to Linux and Windows, and can connect to a wide range of H323 compatible video conferencing programs, including NetMeeting. I'm working on the FreeBSD port and can now stream video from FreeBSD to NetMeeting and visa versa using our Bt848 driver. BUT... I need help with the audio ioctls. I've got all the linux source, but need to cook up FreeBSD audio code, especially for the full duplex audio. And I need some help. If you are interested, take a look at www.openh323.org and email me. I've got the latest source, not yet checked into the OpenH323 project wich fixes a few build errors on FreeBSD 3.4. It would be good to get this done in the next few days as it will make it onto the FreeBSD 4.0 release disks. Any helpers out there?

T1 / E1 PCI card for FreeBSD?
Something like the Ariel RS2000 card. Ariel supports NT and Linux, but I'm a pure FreeBSD shop now (on the opens source side) and would not like to add a Linux box just for this. ( may end up buying a used PM 3A 2PT E1 ) thanks, Len To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

What do you mean, "Still doesn't work"? If you are using the /usr/bin/cc that comes with FreeBSD, and if -nostdlib causes the crt* files and libc to be omitted from the link, then it works. Making it do something useful is _your_ problem, not ours. :-) We don't recommend or support linking that way. John -- John Polstra [EMAIL PROTECTED] John D.

Re: T1 / E1 PCI card for FreeBSD?
Lanmedia makes some pretty good T1/E1 PCI cards, and they support FreeBSD. (They actually wrote a FreeBSD driver for one of their cards at my request). Check out www.lanmedia.com.

I just exchanged email with David Filo this morning about this and it appears to have been a DoS attack using the usual array of stream/synflood tools. It also primarily hit the routers and FreeBSD 3.4 was largely unaffected (2.2 had some problems, but they were already in the process of upgrading those machines). There is some additional hardening work we can do here as a result of what was learned during the attack, however, and you should be seeing the relevant commits going into 4.0 shortly. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
Re: T1 / E1 PCI card for FreeBSD?
I have several of the etinc cards. If you can live with Dennis's rather curt manner, they're perfectly fine cards. I'm going to get one of the LMC boards though, integrated CSU/DSU would be nice, and possibly save a few bucks. ET has a bandwidth manager that works very nicely, and is a heck of a lot simpler to configure than dummynet. Free with the PCI cards, some $'s if you just want it by itself. My only ET gripe is that the new PCI cards lost the watchdog timer function that was handy for those remote reboots...

Re: Yahoo under attack
If you want to read some more about this in the mainstream press, check out: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/business/A23174-2000Feb7.html http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-1544455.html http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-1543918.html The NY Times coverage is reasonable as well (though you have to be registered to view it on their site). The AP report (which you'll find in many newspapers) was fairly reasonable to start, but sometime during the night the AP reporter decided to add a bit from a self-proclaimed security expert about Yahoo!'s lack of preparation and management. I'll let you decide if he's qualified to comment (the security expert's website is at www.tscm.com). As a Yahoo! employee there isn't any more I can (or reasonably should) say. But I'll say one more thing anyway: FreeBSD wasn't the problem, here. It has been, and will continue to be, part of the solution. -Ed To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
Localization and locale()?
Hello, I am currently writing several programs that, for one reason or another, need to be localized in various sections. On Solaris, I can see what choices I have by running 'locale -a'. However, all my attempts to find a similar function on FreeBSD 3.4 have failed. I would have searched the mailing list archives, but they are, of course, currently down. Also, my search through the handbook also only showed examples for Russian and German encoding (section 12). For my specific problem, I need access to the following three character sets: es_ES.ISO8859-1 pt.PT.ISO8859-1 en_US.ISO8859-1 And within my program (Perl), I need to use the setlocale() function imported from the POSIX module (actually, from the locale_h header file). If I run this on FreeBSD, will the program die on me due to the apparent lack of a locale function? If one is available, where can I get it from? And finally, if these character sets are not installed on my system, what is the best way to go about getting them on there? Any help or insight would be appreciated, so thanks!
