Hi, Bill. I have a few problem when try to run Micronet Wirless LAN PCI Adapter based on RealTek 8180 chip on my FreeBSD 5.2.1-p9. I use this instruction to build modules but with latest XP driver from: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?Keyword=8180 =======================[quote]======================================== To build: cd /usr/src/sys/modules/ndis make clean make make install cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/ndiscvt make clean make make install cd /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis make clean # be sure to copy your drivers here at some point! # I had mine on CD, so I used these steps. mount /cdrom cp /cdrom/W* . umount /cdrom /usr/sbin/ndiscvt -i W70N51.INF -s W70N51.SYS -o ndis_driver_data.h make make install I'm not sure where I got the W70N51 values. I think I ran XP on my box and found out that way. I think it was from I did encounter one issue under 5.2.1, which may have been fixed by now: [root@laptop:/sys/modules/if_ndis] # make Warning: Object directory not changed from original /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis make: don't know how to make pccarddevs.h. Stop The solution is to remove references to pccarddevs.h from /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis/Makefile. After compiling, you need to load the modules: kldload ndis kldload if_ndis Then you can view any associated stations with this command: wicontrol -i ndis0 -l To load those kernel modules at boot time, add these entries to /boot/loader.conf: ndis_load="YES" if_ndis_load="YES" ========================[quote]========================================= In time of configuration (and on boot time) i see this message after command: ifconfig ndis0 inet x.x.x.x netmask 0xffffff00 ssid myssid up NDIS: buggy driver deleting active buffer pool! NDIS: buggy driver deleting active buffer pool! wicontrol -l ndis0 -l show "0 channels" Also i try XP driver from native CD but with no luck. Best regards and sorry for my english, Nikolay Pavlov.
