NDISulator vs Linksys WMP54G BCM4306
Hi, I was trying NDISulator for the first time and it didn't go well, I can't get the driver to detect the card. pciconf -l -v : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:8:0: class=0x028000 card=0x00131737 chip=0x432014e4 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' device = 'BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller' class= network from the .inf file: [BROADCOM] %BCM430G.DeviceDesc% = BCM43XG, PCI\VEN_14E4DEV_4320SUBSYS_041714E4 %BCM430G.DeviceDesc% = BCM43XG, PCI\VEN_14E4DEV_4320SUBSYS_041814E4 %BCM430G.DeviceDesc% = BCM43XG, PCI\VEN_14E4DEV_4320SUBSYS_00131737 %BCM430G.DeviceDesc% = BCM43XG, I take it it's this one PCI\VEN_14E4DEV_4320SUBSYS_00141737 When I load if_ndis nothing happens When downloading the drivers from Linksys site I noticed there are 3 versions of the WMP54G (v1,v2,v4) so I tried all three drivers with no luck. This is all on 6.1-RELEASE Any advice is very appreciated :-) -- Joao Barros ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You didn't use ndisgen, did you? No I didn't, I used the instructions from here: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html Basically I just used ndiscvt. When I tried ndisgen per your recomendation it worked! :-) ndis0: Wireless-G PCI Adapter mem 0xe691-0xe6911fff irq 10 at device 8.0 on pci0 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0 ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:0c:41:12:ab:c4 With ndiscvt: 48813 May 15 14:35 /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis/if_ndis.ko With ndisgen: 313921 May 15 16:57 bcmwl5_sys.ko So something went wrong with ndiscvt as the file is way smaller. I'm going to try and find out what went wrong (or I did wrong) and if someone can shed light on this... There was a change in ndis a while ago, and the documentation isn't up to date. You no longer just have ndis.ko and if_ndis.ko, the windows driver is now built into an additional module. Either way, many thanks for the hint :-) You're welcome.
