I get no error messages. Kernel module builds and loads fine but then ndis interface never shows up. Here is exactly what I'm doing: Drivers for XP64 downloaded from intel website. I've tried latest and old drivers. Unzipped on FreeBSD. Then: ndisgen NETw5x64.inf NETw5x64.sys This .INF file appears to be ASCII. [return] This .SYS file appears to be in Windows(r) PE format. [return] Driver file conversion - conversion was successful. [enter] Firmware file conversion [enter] Kernel module generation Generating Makefile... done. Building kernel module... done. Cleaning up... done. So NETw5x64_sys.ko has been successfully generated. Note that when it asks me for additional firmware files I don't give it any - is that ok? Then I'm moving this module to /boot/modules and I'm loading it: kldload -v NETw5x64_sys.ko Loaded NETw5x64_sys.ko, id=8 And that's pretty much it, module get loaded together with nids.ko and if_nids.ko but nothing really happens. No additional network interfaces, nothing in dmesg output. Tried with debug.ndis=1 and get no additional informations. Any ideas, please? Anybody got this card to work on FreeBSD?
