Hello!
I'm trying to generate a NDIS-wrapped driver for my USB WiFi adapter
that is not directly supported by FreeBSD. I've tried various versions
of Windows driver, but ndisgen doesn't like any of the INF files: "I
don't recognize this file format. It may not be a valid .INF file."
The INF file validation that is performed by /usr/sbin/ndisgen is:
${EGREP} -i -c "Signature|.S.i.g.n.a.t.u.r.e" ${INFPATH}
I tried this on the latest INF file at hand, and indeed it returns zero:
$ egrep -i -c "Signature|.S.i.g.n.a.t.u.r.e" netr28ux.inf
However:
$ egrep -i -c ".S.i.g.n.a.t.u.r.e" netr28ux.inf
1
So, why does the first egrep not match if the second one matches?
My OS version is 9.2-STABLE amd64
