Quick question. Where do queries regarding Bill Paul's NDISulator go? I have seen some to current, hardware, mobile. Or even better, a howto (the best I have seen thus far is:) http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-January/019486.html The following is extraneous info, if someone here can clue me in. I have a PCI Linksys WMP54GS (pciconf -vl as follows): ndis00@pci0:8:0 class=0x028000 card=0x00151737 chip=0x432014e4 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' device = 'BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller' class = network FreeBSD type (uname -a) as follows: FreeBSD workstation.domain.org 5.3-BETA6 FreeBSD 5.3BETA6 #0: Sat Sep 25 19:41:14 UTC 2004 root@wv1u.samsco.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 The only device that I can find that looks like it is listed as pci0: <network> at device 8.0 (no driver attached) I copied over the win32exe from the linksys site, used a windows system and got the required files (BCMWL5.inf & bcmwl5.sys). Address follows. http://www.linksys.com/download/driver.asp?dlid=132&osid=6 And attempted the following, as per Mr. Paul's message. # cp foo.sys foo.inf /sys/modules/if_ndis # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i foo.inf -s foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load When I attempt to 'make load' the following message is displayed. ndis0: <Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter with SpeedBooster> mem 0xffef6000-0xffef7fff irq 11 at device 8.0 on pci 0 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0 ndis0: NDIS ERROR: c0001389 (unknown error) ndis0: NDIS NUMERRORS: 1 ndis0: argptr: 0xc ndis0: init handler failed device_attach: ndis0 attach returned 6 And kldstat lists the following: Id Refs Address Size Name 1 6 0xc0400000 5b6c5c kernel 2 1 0xc14f1000 53000 if_ndis.ko 3 1 0xc1544000 d000 ndis.ko I have even attempted to enter ndis_load="YES" in the loader.conf, but to no avail. Also, I have hand typed these in, so any mistakes are likely due to me typing in this message. If you have gotten to this point, thanks for your patience. If you have a suggestion, even better! But please, type slowly and use small words. I have the capacity of an ill trained carp. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
