				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The problem with automount flash drives on FreeBSD 8.1 and KDE4</strong>:</p>
<p>An error occurred while accessing &#8216;My_flash&#8217;, the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable no &lt;&#8211; (action, result)<br />
or</p>
<p>Could not mount the following device:<br />
My_flash</p>
<p>Solution:<br />
add to PolicyKit config file(/usr/local/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf) your user:</p>
<pre>
&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;

&lt;!DOCTYPE pkconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Configuration
1.0//EN"
"http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit/1.0/config.dtd"&gt;

&lt;!-- See the manual page PolicyKit.conf(5) for file format --&gt;

&lt;config version="0.1"&gt;
&lt;match user="root"&gt;
&lt;return result="yes"/&gt;
&lt;/match&gt;
&lt;define_admin_auth group="wheel"/&gt;
&lt;!-- You should add the following strings --&gt;
<strong>&lt;match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable"&gt;
&lt;match user="slim"&gt;
&lt;return result="yes"/&gt;
&lt;/match&gt;
&lt;/match&gt;
</strong>
&lt;/config&gt;</pre>
<p>where slim &#8211; your user.<br />
and finally restart hald:<br />
<code>howtobsd#/usr/local/etc/rc.d/hald restart</code></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Identify  installed wi-fi adapter:</p>
<p><code>hostobsd#pciconf -lv |grep Wireless<br />
device     = 'Intel 3945ABG Wireless LAN controller (10208086)'</code></p>
<p>find device in <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.1R/hardware.html">Hardware Notes</a>:</p>
<p>[i386, amd64] Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG MiniPCI network adapters ( wpi(4) driver)</p>
<p>So,  wpi is driver for my wi-fi device.</p>
<p>Following the <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=wpi&amp;sektion=4&amp;manpath=FreeBSD+8.1-RELEASE">instruction wpi(4)</a>, going to configure the kernel with options:<br />
<strong>device wpi<br />
device wpifw<br />
device pci<br />
device wlan<br />
device wlan_amrr<br />
device firmware<br />
</strong><br />
You also can load driver without kernel configuring by adding in /boot/loader.conf<br />
<strong>if_wpi_load=&#8221;YES&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>add in  /etc/rc.conf:<br />
<strong>wlans_wpi0=wlan0<br />
ifconfig_wlan0=&#8221;WPA DHCP&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>create configuration file for our wireless connection :<br />
<code>howtobsd#touch /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf<br />
howtobsd#vim /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf</code></p>
<p>and add there ssid and  password(for WPA-PSK):<br />
<strong>network={<br />
ssid=&#8221;yourssid&#8221;<br />
psk=&#8221;yourspass&#8221;<br />
}</strong></p>
<p>and finally reboot</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The simplest way to setting up sound on FreeBSD to load universal kernel module kldload:<br />
<code>howtobsd# kldload snd_driver</code></p>
<p>snd_driver is driver, that include itself supporting the most popular sound card drivers.</p>
<p>But I think better to install kernel with support exactly yours sound card.  For this way we have to identify device model:<br />
<code>slim# pciconf -lv | grep audio<br />
    device     = 'Intel audio controller embedded with the 82801H chipset ( ICH8 chipset ) (82801H)'</code></p>
<p>find this sound card in the <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.1R/hardware.html">Hardware Notes </a>:</p>
<p>and make kernel with options:</p>
<p><strong>device sound<br />
device snd_hda</strong></p>
<p>You also can load driver without configuring kernel. Add in /boot/loader.conf:<br />
<strong>snd_hda_load=&#8221;YES&#8221;</strong></p>
