First of all, I appologize if this is the wrong place, an earlier request on -questions had no hits, and I need to get this working soon if possible. Although it's mostly internals stuff that's well over my head, I saw a couple driver related questions in the archive, and no one complained, so I am guessing this is the right place. System: Toshiba Satellite A105-4001 (Intel Core Solo 1.66Ghz, 512MB memory, i945GM graphics, IP 3945ABG wireless [NOT USED]). Since the 3945ABG doesn't have drivers now, and the project looks well and good halted for now, I found out that a linksys WPC54G card works (at least version 3) with NDIS throught this site: http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2006/02/linksys-wpc54g-with-freebsd-yesterday.html I followed the instructions, and everything loads fine, but the card doesn't show up. I have inserted the card. The status light on it blinks green then goes off. I ran ndis and generated the driver as specified, kldload'ed the wlan_wep module, followed by ndis, followed by the card driver. After that I checked dmesg - the card did not appear (nothing with ndis or the card driver name). No errors came from kldload, and there was no ndis entry in /dev or /dev/net. Another site suggested pciconf -la to determine what cards are found, and I didn't see anything recognizable there. What's the next step in diagnostics? I'm runing FreeBSD 6.1 on i386. Please cc a copy of the reply to me as well as the newsgroup, as I am not a member. Thanks, -Jim Stapleton
