Ever since the #OpenBSD iwx Intel #wifi driver received support for MA devices (PCI product ID 0x7e40) in November 2024 there have been complaints about these devices not working properly due to excessive packet loss.

I have never had access to this hardware myself and couldn't debug this problem, until I started working on adding support for newer devices called BZ which showed the same problem.

This problem is now finally fixed in -current.

The fix was a one-liner for a silly oversight type of bug which appears obvious in hindsight. But you don't want to know how many hours of staring at code and making guesses and trying various things it took me to track this down... ​

Can a 2001 Sun SPARC server host a website in 2026?

Spoiler: Yes. Yes it can. 🔥

I got my Sun Netra X1 running OpenBSD + httpd serving actual web traffic.

What if Ted comes back with Honk 4

Due to pending travels for $DAYJOB in the next weeks, I have changed the #OpenBSD story publication schedule, and the new episodes of the SGI story will be published on mondays.

You can enjoy the 2nd episode now!

(If the "technical notes you can skip" parts are not within double borders, be sure to reload the page with ctrl-shift-R to make sure you also fetch the updated CSS file, there has been some changes to it.)

Well, well, well, looks like it's #OpenBSD story time again!

All you've ever wanted to know about BSD on Silicon Graphics systems (and a bit of Linux, too), without daring to ask. As this is a very long story, it will span six installments, with a new part released every wednesday.
