I am attempting to run FreeBSD 5.3 RC2 w/ a Netgear WG311v2 NIC. I am using the GENERIC kernel. I followed Bill Paul's notes as follows: # cp foo.sys foo.inf /sys/modules/if_ndis # cd /sys/modules/ndis # make; make load # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis # ndiscvt -i foo.inf -s foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make; make load I copied the XP driver from the NetGear CD that came with the card to the designated locations listed above. I copied the .bin files to /compat/ndis. I chmod'd them to 777 just in case...not worrideabout security...will change to approaite once the card works. Upon the last make load I see ndis0 becomes available and the transmit rates it can negotiate are displayed across the screen...one line for 802.11b and one for 802.11g When I : ifconfig ndis0 ssid "3com" media autoslect The machine accepts the line and remains stable hwoever when I ifconfig ndis0: Carrier none ssid "" I can bind IP's to the card but that is it. I read Bill's post about twi0 needing to be the proper device but when I load if_ndis it comes up as well...ndis Is there something I need to do to make twi0 active. Maybe a kernel addition....make load in twi dir instead of ndis dir???? TIA --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo! Front Page. www.yahoo.com
