--=-BLuIdtm25QPN+EN5rGEe Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Thanks a lot for the info ! but I can't find any attachment (gmail might not have passed it through) another thing I like to share : Loading the 32-bit module apparently gave me a "fatal trap 12" kernel error. I already have tried a XP 64-bit driver and modified the .inf file (after converting it to ascii) and kept only the following line (I just removed the lines for other cards) : %BCM430M_DeviceDesc% =3D BCM43XM2, PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4319&SUBSYS_1359103C =3D>building the 64-bit module with ndiscvt in /sys/modules/if_ndis went flawless! (I cannot build it with ndisgen) =3D>loading the module was no problem =3D>However, I still can't see a wireless interface with ifconfig maybe your 64-bit drivers give me a better result ! So, can you please post me the .inf and .sys files. They might not be blocked via mail services. Thanks for your support !!!
