It looks like the anoncvs archive I pointed you to is out of date. Oh, I see now. The entry on that page I showed you for the primary server is wrong. It says this: * USA: freebsdanoncvs@anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs (ssh only - no password) It should say this: * USA: anoncvs@anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs (ssh only - no password) When I tried it, I used the broken version and it wouldn't let me do a checkout, so I gave you directions for using the mirror instead. But it looks like the mirror is stale. :( Try this instead: % setenv CVSROOT anoncvs@anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs % cvs checkout -rRELENG_6 src/sys/compat/ndis src/sys/dev/if_ndis This time you should get the right sources. Once you get them, build ndis.ko and if_ndis.ko again like I said to before. Trust me, the code isn't broken: I'm using it right this second. :) You don't need to resort to using the laptop in x86 mode. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (510) 749-2329 | Senior Engineer, Master of Unix-Fu wpaul@windriver.com | Wind River Systems ============================================================================= <adamw> you're just BEGGING to face the moose ============================================================================= > g. >
