Worked beautifully as per the Handbook under 7.2. Sadly, under 8.0RC1, the process to generate the wrapper appears to work OK, but when I attempt to set any of the card's parameters, ifconfig returns I/O errors. For example: ifconfig ndis0 up (back to prompt without errors, but then... ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.1.105 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Invalid argument or ifconfig ndis0 ssid chcs ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument dmesg reports that ndis0 is available as a Wireless-G Notebook Adapter after the ndis drivers are loaded. Any advice? JeffD _____________________________ M 0427565791 jeff.dowsley@mac.com
