I was thinking of using the ndisgen utility to create a driver via the WinXP version. I have three questions. 1) The WinXP driver was for an x386 machine. I have a FreeBSD-8/amd64 PC. From man NDIS(4): "Note that this means the ndis driver is only useful on x86 machines." Am I therefore to assume that even if I do convert the Windows Driver to FreeBSD form, it will not work? 2) If I do successfully extract the driver, is there any way that I can have it compiled directly into the kernel as opposed to having it loaded via kldload? 3) Is there any list that I could contact to request a driver for this device. Since I have the device, I would be happy to work with someone who actually knows how to write a drive since I don't posess those skills. -- Jerry FreeBSD.user@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
