Comment on Installing FreeBSD on a Soekris net5501 using PXE and dnsmasq by Jed Clear

Instead of leaving IPFIREWALL out of your kernel initially, you have a couple of options. You can set firewall_type=”open” in /etc/rc.conf. Or you could compile “option IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT” into the kernel the first time around, then install a new kernel after you build your rules.

There is also a sysctl to turn it off ipfw, which is used by “/etc/rc.d/ipfw restart” (at least with 8.1R there is, not sure when it was introduced).

You’re right, there are a number of ways of doing it. Thanks, Jed – Graham

Thanks for sharing.
The FreeBSD Kernel config file link is dead : too bad.

Now fixed: thanks Cyril. – Graham

Ok so I found the solution to my own problem.

To find the values needed to setup devd.conf

Run devd in debug mode
devd -Dd

This will output all of the neccessary info when you power on the printer.

I am having trouble with the installation of the firmware after connecting. I am connecting a HP P1505 on FreeBSD 8

cat /usr/local/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihpP1505.dl > /dev/ulpt0

This will upload the firmware correctly but I am having trouble figuring out the correct values for this printer to set devd.conf up

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for sharing.
Only one thing to add: you have to build cups-base with USB support, otherwise CUPS will not detect your printer.
In /usr/ports/print/cups-base run ‘make config’ and check ‘LIBUSB’ option, then run ‘make install’ (or ‘make reinstall’).
