Hello all,
For want of information about running OpenBSD on the ASUS eee pc 701, I have
had access to a 4GB with camera but no modem model and have some things to
report:
You can Google for those that may or may not have the empty Mini-PCIe slot.
The machine is literally mini ASUS notebook, bi

Hello all,
Can someone tell me what marketing speak to look for to determine if a

I have an unremarkable Intel D845GBV P4 board that supports hw.setperf fine but
a full-featured Intel SE7221BK1-E P4 server board that does not

Hello,
I didn't see any mention of changes to UFS2 support in 4.3:
http://www.openbsd.org/43.html#new
Will it still require a kernel recompilation to use?
Perhaps no? http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/conf/GENERIC?v=OPENBSD
Is it bootable?
Thanks,
Michael.
Hello all,
For those who urgently need WPA-enabled wireless support on OpenBSD... The
D-Link DWL-G730AP portable router is small, USB-powered and in "Client" mode
can connect to a wireless network using WPA and provide an EtherNet "LAN" with
DHCP.
It's top drawback is that the configuration in

I have found references to: /pub/OpenBSD/3.6/tools/booteasy suggesting that it

Yes. I failed to mention that in my checklist.

Hello,
Might anyone have any pointers to sources of fdisk automation scripts for
OpenBSD that that can determine the size of a disk and follow a set of
partitioning guidelines? Scenario: cookie-cutter systems with different drive
sizes. Options like "use the remainder for /usr" are always handy
OpenBSD has a booth at the SCaLE conference in Los Angeles and no one
appears to be available to staff it.
It's a great conference and I highly recommend someone drop by to staff
it Saturday and Sunday.

I couldn't help but notice that the Linux Fund/BSD Fund folks are giving

developers who is willing to port its tools (in C), xorg driver and come

Dear Theo and Co.
Thank you very much for the new ACPI code.
Seriously, thank you.
My netbook finally sleeps, having sat uselessly in a drawer nearly a

Thanks for the WPA support too.
Time to buy a 4.8 set.

Wait a minute... I thought US citizens stayed away from the crypto code

I smell a prank. (And prey that's the case.)
