Hi, I recently installed FreeBSD 6.2 Release on my notebook. Since then I have been trying to get my WPC54G v3 to work with it. I used ndisgen to make kernel module bcmwl5_sys.ko. I loaded it using kldload. However when I try "dmesg | grep ndis" I don't see anything. root@notebook# dmesg | grep ndis root@notebook# Also when I remove the card and insert it again, the power LED comes on for a second and then turns off again. I have seen a post where the person was having the same problem, but there weren't any replies to his posts. :( I followed the instructions from this page http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2006/02/linksys-wpc54g-with-freebsd-yesterday.html Also in the manual page http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-network-setup.html it is written that we should use "kldload ndis" and then "kldload if_ndis", however on FreeBSD 6.2 they are loaded automatically when I load the bcmwl5_sys.ko. Please have a look at my kldstat. root@notebook# kldload bcmwl5_sys root@notebook# kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 16 0xc0400000 6f9638 kernel 2 1 0xc0afa000 32e4 splash_bmp.ko 3 1 0xc0bbe000 5fa0 snd_ich.ko 4 2 0xc0bc4000 22b88 sound.ko 5 1 0xc0be7000 2364 accf_http.ko 6 1 0xc0bea000 59f20 acpi.ko 10 1 0xc558e000 69000 bcmwl5_sys.ko 11 1 0xc5603000 b000 if_ndis.ko 12 2 0xc568d000 13000 ndis.ko Is it possible that its not working because of those getting loaded automatically? Or is it because of something else in FreeBSD 6.2. Also I saw a post about a similar problem but there werent any replies to that post either. Have a look http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2007-March/004280.html. I hope someone replies to this one. Thanks in advance. -- C program run. C program crash. C programmer quit.
