if you've got an iwlwifi card, then use wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"

Yes, it worked! I have an interface now but I'm still unable to connect, i did setup WPA supplicant with my ssid and password, and with bsdconfig netdev i did setup an IP manually, DHCP wasn't available

Looks like it is associated but still i can't ping things x.x

I managed to get it working 🥳🍾

i want to do the same. i want connect to wifi bit in LiveCD. but i cant use wpasupplicant.conf as read-only filesystem. ssid can does work. i have foumd my wifi but if i run dhclient wlan0 i have got output: no link.....giving up

Have you tried something like this in single user mode? https://t.me/FreeBSD/52

i have got it now. i have ethernet connection instead of wifi. more then enough to fix broken system

But still i cant mount the problematic partition on liveCD which is /dev/ada0p11. thats my efi partiton for the system. it is "msdosfs" but even if i use the -t msdosfs flag wont mount it. invalid filesystem....🙄

Oh... i got it now. succesfully mounted. 🤓

but for chroot need to mount the system also. ans anything else needed? like var proc...

And /dev

ah okay

And /dev

not permitted...🙄

why does not mount the system?

when you crated a zpool you do not use the mount command but zpool import

ok. thx. i have got it now. but how to actually chroot into after that?

Nah, dev should be mounted from devfs.

i see freebsd chroot is a bit different what i used to use on arch...🙄

Nah, dev should be mounted from devfs.

really? 🤔

Nah, dev should be mounted from devfs.

sorry. i dont get it. 🙄

devfs is mounted on /dev. whats wrong with that?

I mean when you chroot your filesystem should have all the proper mounts for some syscalls to function, so some stuff might fail without /dev mounted.

ok. i know that. but it is mounted. how shall i change that?

at the moment i am chrooted like this. but some basic commands like clear just not working

so dev should be mounted to where?

root/dev mounted to testfreebsd. lt seems good for me....but what would you change?

actually my goal is here to reinstall the bootx64.efi amd loader.efi

but i dont get it why commands not found....

You are missing /usr/bin in there.

zfs destroy root/dev, then mkdir /tmp/testfreebsd/root/dev && mount -t devfs devfs /tmp/testfreebsd/root/dev.

As you created …/usr in there it shadows your root original contents.

Actually you can just rename it so you can see under it.

ok. lets have a look...

Almost...at least i got what u mean 🤓

mistype before. zfs no need

this is how u mean?

But still basic commands wont work. like clear

do i have to export bin? 🧐

But still basic commands wont work. like clear

Again, you still have empty (24K?) root/usr mounted onto it, there's probably no binaries in there.

> which clear /usr/bin/clear

i see. will have a look on it.

All what i want to mount into chroot do i have to create dataset also?? 🙄

No. But why are you fumbling around with chroot and zfs when you want to install an efi file? The efi file belongs to the efi partition

yep. but gpart bootcode -p /boot/boot1.efi -i11 ada0 wont work

I suspect the ethernet cable i am using is not gigabit capable. Can i see somehwere what FreeBSD thinks about the cable? The ifconfig output shows media: "Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT full duplex" Does this means the cable is cat6?

@extrowerk moved here to keep conversation a bit more organized (:

Oh thanks. Sorry about the careless post!

No worries

For linux there's a program named ethtool that may have your answer, but I think it's not on FreeBSD iirc

I never checked that indepth detail for a network connection

Both CAT5e and CAT6 can handle speeds of up to 1000 Mbps... with that ifconfig at least the interface is being gigabit...

Hello, about IPv6, where can I saw a sample for the file dhcp6c_duid ? I need to translate a DUID from hex to bin, so I use 'od -A x -t o' for each parts. But I do not know how to reassemble it in the file dhcp6c_duid

(Maybe there is a better way to add DUID in FreeBSD)

why i can not mount the boot partition after writing bootcode on it? if i create a new partition and format it with newfs_msdos mounting is no problem. however if i unomount it and write the bootcode on it after that i can not mount it again.

after 5 mins unattanded the pool can not be waking up from sleep...😔

Is that from an external usb drive?

all begins with uhub0 beeing disconnected , i think it disconnects because the automatic suspend, i was looking the usbconfig options ... in the usbconfig man they say

power_off Turn the device off. power_save Turn the automatic suspend and resume on. This is the default for USB hubs. power_on Turn the device on and disable automatic suspend and resume. This is the default for non-hub devices.

the default for hubs is the automatic suspend, you could try to make usbconfig power_on over your uhub0

usbconfig -d ugen0.4 power_on try to execute this after you reboot for your seagate disk, for deactivate the suspend in in ugen0.4 ... if this is not the solution, you would must do something with uhub0 detached

invalid argument error. but before writing the bootcode with gpart bootcode -p the mount is succes.

A nice looking DE flavor so to speak. They moved to hardware acceleration to achieve better performance iirc

Have you tried with ufs?

I am still lost. I have a DUID and an IPv6/64 block. As I didn't have SLAAC, I needed a working 'DHCP server' on my FreeBSD, right ? Where can I find documentation to use the IPv6 bloc in my server ? I have try to follow a 2018 tutorial, but 'dhcp6c' does not exist in my FreeBSD so it is maybe a too old post. Where is the best starting point to play ?
