NDIS D-LINK DWL-650+
Hi, Just before I definitively give up on this crap-card, I just thought I'd give it another try with project evil without succes. Has anyone successfully made DWL-650+ work with NDIS? 2ndly: Since I will probably have to buy something else, can anyone confirm that 3Com OfficeConnect 3crwe154a72 just works? The aht(4) mentions chipset AR5212, but on the Atheros site the 3Com card is based on AR5002X. Following the instructions here: http://tweakbsd.homeunix.org/guides/windoof-ndis-drivers.php The first failures was because I had not copied some windows binaries to /combat/ndis. Has anyone succesfully made this card work using NDIS? This is my resulting dmesg: cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=20 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=18, size=1 ndis0: D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+ Wireless Cardbus Adapter port 0x1000-0x101f mem 0x8800-0x8800,0x8801-0x88010fff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ndis0: [GIANT-LOCKED] ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0 ndis0: init handler failed device_attach: ndis0 attach returned 6 Interestingly, I have: # pciconf -lv [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x3b001186 chip=0x8400104c rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Texas Instruments (TI)' device = '802.11b+ 22Mbps Wireless Adapter' class= network but the device is not available for ifconfig.

Re: D-Link DWL-650
It's not a BIOS or jumper setting. It's a pcmcia config setting. Check out the file /etc/defaults/pccard.conf. At the start of the file you should see something about IRQs.

It's an IRQ problem. I tried different IRQs with out any luck. Again, the card looks configured but you can't pass any traffic. When I try to ping a host I get watchdog timeout. I may end up using Linux on this laptop. When you say, I tried different IRQs, what exactly do you mean? Is the IRQ on the card jumperable, or do you mean that in the BIOS you set certain IRQs to ISA/Legacy (or similiar) and others to PCI/PnP? If you were just tweaking with BIOS settings, what settings did you try? If you jumpered to card for a specific IRQ, which IRQs did you try? Randomly picking IRQs is not a reliable test method.

It's a triple booted laptop with win2k, linux and freebsd-4.2.6 and it was the linux OS that caused some issues, it needed the latest 3.20 pcmcia card package or it would run faster than 300k on a 1.2mb network. I also have an Orinoco Gold card working on that laptop in all 3 OS's. -- |--Word-Wrap-At-72-Please--| Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ UNIX, A Way Of Life._\_v http://forwardslashunix.com/raw To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
D-Link DWL-650
I've got a Toshiba Tecra 700CT that I would like to connect to a wireless network. The wireless card I have is a D-Link DWL-650. Here is what I've done so far: 1. Installed FreeBSD 4.6 2. Card is recognized and comes up as interface wi0 Here is my problem: 1. I had some trouble giving the card an IP address but after a few minutes of messing with a few configurations I was able to do so 2. the card says associated and when I check the AP it shows the card listed. 3. When trying to pass traffic I get a watchdog timeout where the card times out instead of sending data. 4. I tried a Linksys 10/100 Ethernet card and got the same watchdog time out. It looks like the problem could be both cards but I think it might be something else.I don't see how two different cards could cause the same problem. HELP ME! If any of you out there in FreeBSD land know whats going on with my system pleas let me know. Also, if any of you know of any wireless or Ethernet cards that work when you plug them in let me know. I want wireless but Ethernet will work. The problem could be the cards I am using. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
