SanDisk FreeBSD 7.2 p1 install

[Al Plant-2]

Aloha,

Thanks for the help from the list on installing FreeBSD 7.2 on a Sandisk
USB Flash drive. I was able to install the basic FreeBSD files and it
rebooted. I used the 7.2 that Manolis created. However there were errors
with trying to load the install for xorg. This new xorg is the same
version that I have not been able to get to work on my test box either
with a regular HDD.

That said everything else seems to be there as expected. Thanks for that
p1 version for speeding up a default install.

I have the test box trying to load an xorg from the main server to
correct this issue for me. I will report on if that cures the problem.
On the download of 7.2 p1 it said CD-DVD iso. but I think the file is
too big for a CD. The only errors were about xorg and associated libs.
Can anyone enlighten me on this?.

Again thanks to the FreeBSD list support we are making progress.

Aloha...

I was able to install Xorg and xfce on the HP Mini under FreeBSD 7.2
Sysinstall from main FreeBSD server.

Mouse (touch pad) works as root just fine on the screen under Sysinstall
tester, but not as user under Xorg. Anybody had success with getting
touchpad mouse to work on a netbook. This HP Mini is similar to Ausus EEE.

Aloha Gurus....

SOLVED;
HP Mini xorg. with XFCE 3.

If you set hald_enable="YES" and dbus_enable="YES"
in /etc/rc.conf it finds and sets the correct settings and the mouse
works. Hal is improving nicely. Thanks.

I discovered that in the HP Mini netbook FreeBSD 7.2 unfortunately does
not recognize the Nic's either hard wired or Wlan. Anone know how to
find what nics are in this HP MIni? There are no instructions about this
with the unit. And I have had no help on the HP Forums.

Any body know how I can detect these chips under FreeBSD 7.2.

Thanks

The command

        # pciconf -lv

should list you all the devices the kernel detects, no matter if
a driver is attached (means: will usually work then) or not.

Aloha,

Thank you...

Yes, that works and shows I have BCM4310 wireless controller.

I am new to wireless nic's .
How do I load the driver or set this to work under FreeBSD?

This FreeBSD is working from a Flash Drive USB using the 7.2 down load
that Manolis made for us. The main drive has linux on it and it works
with the wlan so I think it will work once I figure how to make FreeBSD
see and use it.

Aloha,

I read that the kernel module ndis0 work with wireless devices.

Where do I get the original W32 driver.inf for the Broadcom 4310 wireless?

Either on a CD/DVD that came with the machine or the Broadcom Wireless
LAN Driver here if yours is HP 2133 Mini-Notebook

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3687085&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3687084&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093#11395

it is a self extracting exe file so you either need to run it on a
windows machine or it will work in Wine.

This is a useful page if you haven't already found it
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/config-network-setup.html

I created an ndis driver using these instructions, unfortunately it
caused a panic so I couldn't use it, YMMV.

Chris

PS if you have problems extracting the files I can do them and send them
off list.

In that case you probably want to look for your exact model on this page
http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Lookup?h_lang=en&h_cc=us&cc=us&h_page=hpcom&lang=en&h_client=S-A-R163-1&h_pagetype=s-002&h_query=HP+Mini+1000&submit.x=10&submit.y=9

though I checked a few and they all seemed to end up at the same driver
so maybe exact model doesn't matter.

ndis wants drivers for Windows XP
