AMD64 Arch & ironically it worked beautifully for ages in windows, but i got
sick of windows having been used to FreeBSD, so i re-installed FreeBSD an
using the onboard LAN card atm, but am wanting to goto wireless.
none1@pci0:3:5:0: class=0x020000 card=0x700f1799 chip=0x700f1799
rev=0x20 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Belkin Research and Development Labs'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
Chipset is RT8185L an i used the ndisgen to create the .ko file, which is just
over 572kb in size.
ironically the 8180 works fine, but naturally wont do my wireless card.
