Hey folks. I'm setting up FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and I'm having a little trouble getting my wireless NIC recognized. The card is a Linksys WMP64G and I'm trying to set things up to run with the FreeBSD NDISulator as described in the FreeBSD handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-wireless.html). Here's what I'm doing (as root): 1) Verifying with 'pciconf -lv' that the PCI card is there. Also, I know the card works, it was running fine on Windows. 2) Building ndis itself: cd /usr/src/sys/modules/ndis make clean make && make install 3) Building the if_ndis module: cd /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis cp /path_to_drivers_on_cd/Rt61.INF . cp /path_to_drivers_on_cd/rt61.sys . ndiscvt -i Rt61.INF -s rt61.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h make && make install 4) Loading the ndis and if_ndis modules: kldload ndis I verify at this point using kldstat that both ndis and if_ndis are in fact loaded. I see nothing in dmesg or in my console during the kldload. Also, it doesn't appear that the driver found the card, there's no signs of life. I've tried using ndisgen, and have had the same results (with much less typing). In either case, I get nothing in dmesg and no usable enabled NIC. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, let me know if you see it. thanks in advance. Hernan
