FreeBSD 8.3-ELESE FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE ..... i386
>Description:
'device ndis' in the config file requires 'device pccard' -- *not* listed on
the manpage _or_ in 'NOTES' -- in addition to the documented 'options NDISAPI'
and 'device wlan'
>How-To-Repeat:
make a 'minimal' kernel config file for a desktop -- without CARDBUS support
(shouldn't be needed on a machine that doesn't have PCMCIA/PC-Card/Cardbus
slots. build the kernel successfully.
Now add the required config entries per the ndis(4) manpage.
attempt to build the kernel.
observe the function that fail to resolve.
>Fix:
update the manpage and NOTES file to include the line:
REQUIRES device pcccard.
*OR* fix the device-driver source code.
