Hi there,
I've got a bsd box on 5.2.1 freshly updated to -current:
FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT #0: =
.../usr/src/sys/i386/compile/CUSTOM i386
Custom kernel with just what I need in it.
I have a linksys wmp11v4 wireless card. I compiled the NDISulator =
(/sys/modules/ndis and /sys/modules/if_ndis) successfully.
Both modules load fine (no panic, no make-time error except the object =
warning). I used the sys and inf from the card's CD: LSIPNDS.sys and =
LSIPNDS.inf.
However, the ndis0 interface does not appear. Rebooting, unloading / =
reloading both modules did not help.
dmesg.boot shows the following unknown card:
pci1: <network, ethernet> at device 7.0 (no driver attached)
pciconf shows it as well:
none8@pci1:7:0: class=3D0x020000 card=3D0x00201737 chip=3D0x212017fe =
rev=3D0x00 hdr=3D0x00
vendor =3D 'InProComm Inc'
class =3D network
subclass =3D ethernet
It is indeed the v4 linksys using the InProComm chip.
I've verified the pci device IDs in the inf, and they seem to match the =
pciconf's description:=20
Linksys.DeviceDesc% =3D IPN2120.ndi, =
PCI\VEN_17FE&DEV_2120&SUBSYS_00201737
I've tried ndiscvt'ing with bcmwl5.sys and lsbcmnds.inf from the CD root =
without success.
I have tried compiling a GENERIC kernel, with same results.
I have tried three different cards on both 4.9 stable and 5.2.1 current =
and stable: this wmp11v4, a d-link dwl-510 and dwl-520.=20
None of them have been detected so far by wi. The 520 is one of those =
newer cards with a different chipset.=20
The 510 is not supported by wi.. and now this third replacement, the =
wmp11 is yet again a new chipset.. am I out of luck?
