Re: broken ports

2009-02-09 Thread David Collins
Thank you for your input. I feel like this problem is too far over my
head to be able to give adequate enough debugging.

I am not against any alternative methods of resolving this (even
removing and reinstalling ports) rather than fixing, I just don't want
to have to jump into sysinstall or reinstall because i believe that is
a soluion.

What this is telling you is the linker, ld(1), can't find the gcc_s
library. ldconfig(8) tells ld where to look.

What does:

$ ldconfig -r | grep gcc_s

tell you now that you've removed that compiler? You should get
something like:

$ ldconfig -r | grep gcc_s
30:-lgcc_s.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1

i.e. It's looking in the system libs.

If it still tells you that the lib is under /usr/local/lib, then
there's your problem & you have to regenerate a fresh hints file, I
think.

The problem is that I've never (IIRC) installed a compiler from
ports & I don't know how it screws with the compiler toolchain & hence
how to put it right. Hence, I've cc'd this to hackers@ in the hope that
someone who is more familiar with the toolchain can give advice.

How to troubleshoot why ath0 can't connect to a passwordless wireless network?

2009-02-09 Thread Yuri
I have a several wireless networks without password that my linux box  
easily connects to.


On FreeBSD 'ifconfig ath0 up scan' command shows it. 'ifconfig ath0  
ssid  up' brings interface to 'associated' state. But  
dhclient fails to set it up.


I have another device on the same system: ral0. It sometimes connects  
to these networks ok, sometimes has the same problem.


What can I do to understand what may be a problem with ath0 in my case?

I tried to use tcpdump. It shows outbound DHCP packets and nothing is inbound.

I asked similar question here before, somebody asked me to downgrade  
atheros driver to one particular lower version. But this didn't help.


Relevant dmesg lines are:
ath_hal: 0.9.30.13 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, AR5216, RF5111, RF5112,  
RF2413, RF5413, RF2133)

ath0:  mem 0xcffe-0xcffe irq 16 at device 5.0 on pci0
ath0: mac 7.8 phy 4.5 radio 5.6

I use 71-PRERELEASE
