If everything get wrong I'll buy another...Not from Realtek. ndis is part of the base FreeBSD, not a port. If you run 9.0, 9-stable or 8-stable, it's part of the OS. The patch was to fix a potential panic, so unless te ndis module was crashing your system, it's not going to help. It is quite possible that getting the latest ndis sources for the main version of FreeBSD you are running from cvs or svn, but version mis-match in the kernel could cause it to fail either to compile or work. This a a rather new device from Realtek. I don't think that there are any "old" drivers. We have lots of drivers for wired Realtek drivers in FreeBSD, but no wireless drivers that I am aware of. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer E-mail: kob6558@gmail.com
