Strange results from OSol Disk Usage Analyzer
January 8, 2009 
Disk Usage Analyzer says that my total filesystem capacity is 464.4 GB. That’s really odd, because my hard drive is on 160GB, and I’ve split that almost evenly between Vista and OpenSolaris. So I should only have about 80GB. Could this be why BeleniX barfs on it?
WiFi, OpenSolaris, and the ThinkPad SL400
One issue I was having with my WiFi was that on bootup, it connected to my NETGEAR wireless access point (AP) but I wasn’t connecting to any Internet sites. When I noticed this, the first thing I did on startup was open up a terminal window and ping google.com. I’d get an unknown host error, which means something with the DNS. I’d then bring up inetmenu and apply DHCP on iwh0, my wireless interface. That worked, but it was a pain because my wireless should go up without manual intervention.
So, I moved around the lines in my /etc/driver_aliases so that iwh “pciex8086,4237″ would be the first line, and so far that seems to have done it.
