I have a linksys wmp11v4 wireless card. I compiled the NDISulator = (/sys/modules/ndis and /sys/modules/if_ndis) successfully. Both modules load fine (no panic, no make-time error except the object = warning). I used the sys and inf from the card's CD: LSIPNDS.sys and = LSIPNDS.inf. However, the ndis0 interface does not appear. Rebooting, unloading / = reloading both modules did not help. dmesg.boot shows the following unknown card: pci1: at device 7.0 (no driver attached) pciconf shows it as well: none8@pci1:7:0: class=3D0x020000 card=3D0x00201737 chip=3D0x212017fe = rev=3D0x00 hdr=3D0x00 vendor =3D 'InProComm Inc' class =3D network subclass =3D ethernet It is indeed the v4 linksys using the InProComm chip. I've verified the pci device IDs in the inf, and they seem to match the = pciconf's description:=20 Linksys.DeviceDesc% =3D IPN2120.ndi, = PCI\VEN_17FE&DEV_2120&SUBSYS_00201737 I've tried ndiscvt'ing with bcmwl5.sys and lsbcmnds.inf from the CD root = without success. I have tried compiling a GENERIC kernel, with same results. I have tried three different cards on both 4.9 stable and 5.2.1 current = and stable: this wmp11v4, a d-link dwl-510 and dwl-520.=20 None of them have been detected so far by wi. The 520 is one of those = newer cards with a different chipset.=20 The 510 is not supported by wi.. and now this third replacement, the = wmp11 is yet again a new chipset.. am I out of luck? Dexter
