net-mgmt/wifimgr too
SteelCaptain
I dont know how to initialise the wifi dongle
SteelCaptain
usbconfig shows it and its supported by freebsd
SteelCaptain
It doesnt show in ifconfig
SteelCaptain
uath is loaded
SteelCaptain
Guess its not supported
XS
what dmesg shows when you plug it ?
SteelCaptain
Nothing about ath or uath
XS
so this means thoses drivers don't attach to it
SteelCaptain
The model is TPLINK TL-WN442G
SteelCaptain
For what its worth, it works flawlessly on linux
XS
I bet the product is not supported by the freebsd's uath, let's see usbconfig -d 0.4 dump_device_desc
XS
as it's not recognized no firmware is loaded
XS
but even if it were the case, you could not be able to use it unless you add support for it
XS
seems chipset is AR9271 and it's actually supported in obsd's athn driver
XS
AR9271 2GHz 1x1:1 USB 2.0 (https://man.openbsd.org/athn)

? rtwm0
XS
it's not a realtek chip but an atheros ;)
XS
(and it's rtwn)

ok i remember that one was hard to find out what it was.
XS
Missing firmware?
there's a clear statement here, this chipset is not supported unfortunately for you
https://wiki.freebsd.org/dev/ath(4)
the AR7010 series USB NICs, or the AR9271 series USB NICs are not available yet
so what to do?
- follow / help devs for the wishlist point (AR9271 and USB support in the HAL - a pre-requisite for supporting the 11n NICs after the AR9170-based devices. )
- try with obsd to see if it works, it should because athn supports it
- try to get another wifi chip

SteelCaptain

XS
you'll get more speed for sure than with this really old chip haha

But sadly, as i ve read, having thiss lower storage is due to ufs or something

Werent you using zfs?
SteelCaptain
I use ufs but didnt look at how much space i have
Anonymous
But am i forced to use only ufs or zfs?
SteelCaptain
I think xfs is another option
r2g2
no

Unfortunately nope

And tbis means bsd is just a server os
ɴꙩᴍᴀᴅ
Not really, but it's the main goal usually
XS
I'm totally fine with UFS for a workstation. ZFS is preferably used on storage servers having ECC memory.
K
ECC memory is not a hard requirement for ZFS though
XS
You can use it on a standard PC and just one disk, sure.
r2g2
I don't know where this myth about zfs and ECC comes from ... however, is still cruising around in the web
r2g2
ECC is always a recommendation when you require consistent data, no matter what filesystem you use
r2g2
And tbis means bsd is just a server os
if you use it just on your server, then it is just a server os for you.
r2g2
"the power to serve" translates to "the power to serve your needs" and has nothing todo with servers
XS
I don't know where this myth about zfs and ECC comes from ... however, is still cruising around in the web
For my case it's maybe cause I've always used ZFS in this situation.
r2g2
yeah me too ... but somehow I see the myth circulating here and there that one should not use ZFS without ECC memory - this is of course complete bollock
XS
It's good you precise it!

Hi Danny️!
Z
Greetings all. What's up?
Z
I currently am building a FreeBSD root system like this:
make buildkernel buildworld -DESTDIR=/opt/work
And my question is, can I install ports like this as well?
Like this:
cd /usr/ports/.../xorg && make install -DESTDIR=/opt/work
Hardcode
first question is why, second one is - why do you trying to define ESTDIR variable ? it's merely not used by the mk tools
Hardcode
correct way is just to pass DESTDIR=something but here we're back to the first question
Z

just curious about this.
Hardcode
yes you can. it's harmless and does nothing. proceed.
