Intel 8265 Wireless Support?
Hi guys. I'm a Linux user and extremely new to OpenBSD. Now that I want to explore OpenBSD, I'm looking for a new laptop and install OpenBSD on it. Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6 gen looks pretty solid to me, however I'm not sure if its wireless card, Intel 8265, is supported on OpenBSD or not.
I checked the man page of iwm(4) and looks to me it only supports an external Intel 8265 adapter, which is not the one shipped inside the laptop. Am I correct about this? If so, are there any drivers that are able to support the integrated Intel 8265 card?
Sorry about the stupid question. I'm really new in this BSD world. Thanks a lot y'all!

Works.
I'm using the same laptop right now with OpenBSD. Works great.

It is supported. I am using it right now! (on -current)

oh, that’s perfect! Thanks a lot! Just realized the post format looks a bit funny on my phone.. need to improve ;-)

The 'external Intel 8265 adapter' is simply the mini card (as shipped in laptops) packaged with a Mini PCIe to standard PCIe adapter, plus a weird antenna. In other words, there is no difference in functionality.

Reading through Cullum Smith's blog post OpenBSD on a Laptop I'm wondering how he came up with these resource limits:
/etc/login.conf
staff:\
:datasize-cur=1024M:\
:datasize-max=8192M:\
:maxproc-cur=512:\
:maxproc-max=1024:\
:openfiles-cur=4096:\
:openfiles-max=8192:\
:stacksize-cur=32M:\
:ignorenologin:\
:requirehome@:\
:tc=default:
and
/etc/sysctl.conf
# shared memory limits (chrome needs a ton)
kern.shminfo.shmall=3145728
kern.shminfo.shmmax=2147483647
kern.shminfo.shmmni=1024
# semaphores
kern.shminfo.shmseg=1024
kern.seminfo.semmns=4096
kern.seminfo.semmni=1024
kern.maxproc=32768
kern.maxfiles=65535
kern.bufcachepercent=90
kern.maxvnodes=262144
kern.somaxconn=2048
Is there a way to calculate these values?
He only writes:
The
shmvariables are for my laptop, which has 16 GB of RAM. You should scale them accordingly for your machine.
My main laptop has 32 GB RAM, then we have older laptops / netbooks with 8 / 4 / 2 / 1 GB of RAM laying around, so to make any adaptions I would need to know how to scale any of these values based on what?
Are there recommendations for these values based on usage (laptop / firewall gateway / file server / web server)?

Hi
I need everyone who is trying to connect to port 80 not be able to download with a speed more than 60 megabits per second. But I couldn't find a solution. yet, this is my pf.conf which limits the whole interface, not every single IP:
...
queue std on $interface bandwidth 1G
queue web parent std bandwidth max 60M default
...
match proto tcp from any to any port 80 queue web
...
I don't want people to be able to download with high speeds from my server, but allocate all the 1G for downloading, for hundreds of people downloading simultaneously. Even If there is only one person downloading and all of the bandwidth is free, the speed should not be more than 60M for him.
I would be grateful for any solution

This is my first time seriously tinkering with OpenBSD (I have experience mostly with GNU/Linux). I understand this post is halfway between r/openbsd and r/vintageApple.
First of all, I am impressed about the hardware support provided by OpenBSD for such an ancient laptop, most of the stuff works out of the box or with minimal work, in a very stable way.
My "problem" is that, while the touchpad is working out of the box, I am a bit lost configuring the right/secondary button (or Button 3). Keep in mind this is a single (physical) button touchpad. I think it does support tapping, at least on Mac OS X.
I have been checking the man pages for utpms driver, the one my machine is using for my Apple touchpad mouse. I have also checked the manpages for wsmouse, where I have read about the options that can be passed to wsconsctl to configure some aspects about tapping. I figured out that my best option was to configure the tap on the touchpad as right button click.
Specifically, I have tried several variations of the following:
wsconsctl mouse.tp.disable=0
wsconsctl mouse.tp.tapping=2
but when checking the status with:
wsconsctl -a | grep mouse
I only get a couple of entries, none of them referred to the "mouse.tp.*" entries.
At this point I have several questions:
Which is the "right" way to get "right click" for the iBook G4 touchpad?
Does the utpms driver provides any support for tapping for this model?
What am I missing? :-)

Is there any rosetta stone for pkg against other package managers (especially those from other Linux distributions)?

https://cloudflare.cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/
this is the default installurl in miniroot.fs and its been broken for some time.
maybe someone needs to change that in the install?

Trying to create a bootable USB to install OpenBSD from a linux machine. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help is appreciated.
fdisk -l gave me the USB as sdb1
From the directory where the file is located I used:
dd if=install66.fs of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1M

So I mostly use WordGrinder for writing my school essays, etc. I got bold fonts to work, but I cant find out how to get italic fonts in Xterm. Along with learning C, running a simple printf program prints the text in front of the PS1 prompt making it kind of hard to read.
