No, "Linksys WPC54g v4" isn't enough to figure it out. You should do pciconf -lv with the card plugged in and show us the result. - You didn't show the dmesg output from when the card is plugged in. - You didn't show what commands you typed to "set an SSID under iconfig," or for your attempts to "set wither WEP or WPA-PSK keys." - If your panic info is accurate, you're using smbfs. Have you tried _NOT_ using smbfs to see what happens? Remember, we're not there to look over your shoulder: you have to _show_ us what you're doing, not summarize. People, I'm getting tired of always having to ask for this basic information. The more I have to ask, the more annoyed I get, and the less inclined I am to help anyone. The shit you don't think is important? It's important.

So spill it already.Bill makes important points, And I want to use them as a springboard to a possible way to avoid these sequences of "Pleases tell us,....now tell us...." messages on the lists. What about creating a simple "snapshot grabber" or similar tool that would grab the output of such commands and stuff them into a file? Then the user could attach it to the message to the list, or have it attached to the send-pr channel. Yeah, it would likely either grab too much or too little information. The first isn't a problem, simply group information blocks in the file to various sub-systems. The second possibility will get fixed as the tool is used & it's seen what additional information is asked for... Comments?

Did all that. Just got it to work though... Had to add machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=1 to loader.conf in addition to hlt_logical_cpus=0 -John On Feb 1, 2006, at 12:58 AM, Mike Jakubik wrote:> John Von Essen wrote: >> How do I force enabling of HTT in 6-STABLE. >> >> I tried adding machdep.hlt_logical_cpus=0 to /boot/loader.conf - but >> top still shows only a single cpu thread (C=0). > > Make sure you enable it in the BIOS and you compile a SMP kernel. > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
