Heya,

I'm trying to get linksys wireless adapter to work with my laptop.
I have Compaq Evo n610c. Linksys WPC54G pcmcia adapter.

So far I have seen many hints on how this stuff works, but coudn't put it
all together.

uname
 FreeBSD evo 5.2.1-RELEASE #1: Mon Jun 14 17:53:54 EDT 2004
 root@evo:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/EVO  i386

Basicly in rc.conf
pccard_enable="YES"     # pcmcia startup

plugging card out and back in gives me in messages.log this
end (ffffffff) > sc->memlimit (403fffff)
end (ffffffff) > sc->memlimit (403fffff)
cardbus0: <network> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
cbb0: CardBus card activation failed


in /boot/loader.conf
# PCMCIA card battle
	hw.cardbus.debug="1"
	hw.cardbus.debug_cis="1"

	hw.cbb.start_memory="0xd0213500"
	hw.cbb.start_32_io="0x4096"
	hw.cbb.start_16_io="0x256"

	hw.pci.enable_io_modes="1"
	hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1"

	if_wi_load="YES"                 # WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 wireless NICs
# end PCMCIA battle

and finaly
pciconf -lv
none2@pci3:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x43201737 chip=0x432014e4 rev=0x03
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device   = 'BCM4306(??) 802.11g Wireless NIC'
    class    = network

..................................
so. Have anyone get this sanamabish to work?
and if yes, how? Do I need to use ndiswrapper?

All thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Cheers,




Anatoliy
