emu10k1 (SB Live!) support under FreeBSD?

2000-03-19 Thread Thomas Veldhouse
Are there any plans to support the emu10k1 chip (SoundBlaster Live! and SB512) under FreeBSD? I would love to help out, but I don't know where to start, and I have no kernel programming experience. There are reference drivers available for linux via http://opensource.creative.com or http://www.a

CMD640 and ATA drivers

Are there any plans to support the buggy CMD640 interface in the future now that 4.0-RELEASE has come and gone? I have a box that is running 3.4 happily, and it has this interface. I really would like the chance to use some of the 4.0 features, but I can not while support for this interface lack

No overclocked bus. I do have the Pentium 166MMX overdrive processor on the board though. It used to have a 100MHz Pentium in it. However, if this is causing ATA some problem, it probably shouldn't. Like I said, the old drivers in 3.4-STABLE have no problem with it and either does Linux. Windo

Current Locks up

I had a problem with Current (cvsup afternoon of 01-16-2000) locking up solid. My machine did not respond to a ping from my STABLE box. I finally pushed the reset button (ATX case) and it unfreezed the box. I had a similar lockup about 1/2 hour later. Again, pressing the reset button unfroze t

Something else I would like to see someday [assuming I haven't missed it and it already exists], is TOS optimizations in much the same way that Linux's ipchains utility can optimize protocols such as nntp, telnet, etc. Since the thread is entitled ipfw optimizations - I thought I would add my t

2000-01-07 Thread Thomas Veldhouse
I wouldn't think so. However, the problem disappears when the PNP OS setting is set to OFF on another box - and it reappears when I turn it back on. When Linux boots - it says something to the extent that the card has not been initialized by the BIOS - and then it does it - this is when the driv

Re: installing over the wire with a tulip card...

Why can't the driver enable the card instead. I can not shut the PNP OS settings off on my mobo because of a Compaq "hack". Because of that my Asante 10 does not start up - it does get detected though. Under Linux, it detects that the card has not been enabled by the BIOS and then it does it fo

The only point I would like to argue is that this is not a comparison of Apples to Apples. Linux is just a kernel. There are Linux only utilities however (i.e. util-linux). Each of the BSDs that you mentioned are full operating systems. The closest comparison you can get is to compare a Linux
