FYI: I got my WPC11 ver.4 owrking using ndisgen. I am still having prolems
though. . .
It's probably just because I'm somewhat of a n00b. . . :-D My problem is: I do
not know how to bring my ndis0 interface up and select it over my on-baird
NIC. My wireless network is not ecnrypted (please don't flame me. . . I have
Xbox live - which doesn't work with and ecnrypted wireless network).
After successfully kldloading I enter:
laptop#ifconfig ndis0 channel 6
laptop#ifconfig ndis0 ssid "maynards"
laptop#ifconfig ndis0 up
and get this:
xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=9<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
inet 192.168.1.100 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

ether 00:0f:66:cf:10:7e
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps)
status: associated
ssid maynards 1:maynards
channel 6 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS
wepmode OFF weptxkey 1
Two questions:
1) is this interface ready to use?
2) how do I select this interface?
