Well, I've been using the official HP driver. I ran the utility like so:
I don't know where the official HP driver is (hint: a URL would be handy)
ndiscvt -i name_of_nt_driver.inf -s name_of_nt_driver.sys -o
/tmp/ndis_driver_data.h
I then copied it to the compile directory of my kernel. Make depend runs
correctly, but it crashes out during the linking phase of make. I have
these options at the bottom of my kernel config:
options NDISAPI
device ndis
device wlan
I would suggest building it as a module as it's much simpler (unless you're
booting over this interface - which is doubtful)
eg..
cd /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis
cp /tmp/foo.inf /tmp/foo.sys .
ndiscvt -i foo.inf -s foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h
make
make install
As I said, this worked perfectly with 5.3 and even 5-current before the
5.3 release. I tried building the stable version of ndiscvt, and that
didn't produce a different header file. I did a cvsup two days ago, got
the error, and did a new cvsup tonight.
Make sure your userland and kernel are in sync - ie install world to match
your new kernel. You may be building against stale headers.
Er, I thought I had done a makeworld, but I guess I hadn't. You were
right: the header files were old. That fixed the problem. I just got
worried as I ran into a similar problem just before 5.3 release that
caused me to lose the wireless. I ended up fixing that with a light edit
to a couple of files.
Thanks to both of you!
Nicholas
