No, I was only talking about getting it to work on windows, god forbid you even attempt to try it with BSD =-O , Maybe I just had a lemon, but I can tell you that I will never buy any wireless gear from them again. As far as Wireless USB networking, I won't be trying that again for a long long time. I'll stick with the tried and true WAP11, WET11*, and PCMCIA/PCI Wireless networking gear thank you very much. *Linksys WET11 (Wireless to Ethernet bridge), I would recommend this in a heart beat, I had one of those in a 3 dollar plastic container all the way up in a tree (wasn't my idea) for a year before It gave out. I live in northern Illinois and it gets very cold in the winter and very hot (humid) in the summer here, when I took it down from the tree the blue Linksys color was completely faded to gray. I had no major problems with it, and even after it gave out I managed to savage the PCMCIA Prism 3 card plus antenna assembly (did I tell yea the range on it, 200m NearLOS) from it and am using it to this day as my AP at home. I give this product 6 out of 5 stars. --- Nikolas Britton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Project Evil, Yes, That's what I'd call the netgear MA111. This is the most flakiest POS I have ever see.

Netgear MA111 wifi card with Project Evil
Hi, I'm trying to use my Netgear MA111 wireless USB card in FreeBSD. As I understand, FreeBSD's wi module does not support it (OpenBSD's does). Therefore, I decided to check out NDISulator (Project Evil). I followed the instructions in the FreeBSD Handbook, installed ndis, ndiscvt, copied my Windows drivers and complied if_ndis. However, when I tried to load if_ndis, I got the following error message: link_elf: symbol ndis_set_info undefined and the module is not loaded. Someone apparently already ran into this problem: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-June/028753.html and received the following response: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-June/028783.html I speculate that perhaps if_ndis expects inf and sys files from a PCI/Cardbus card and not a USB one. I'd appreciate your assistance in getting the card to work. __ Do you Yahoo!? Send holiday email and support a worthy cause.

Netgear MA111
Dear list, got a Netgear MA111 USB Adaptor this weekend. It is not recognized by 5.2 and 4.10. From the OpenBSD wi(4) manpage i know it is suppost to be Prism-3 and it is suooprted by their wi driver (http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=wisektion=4). Are there activities in progess to get it into FBSD? If yes whom should I contact to take part?

Hi, Everything I've seen says no, but as a last resort: has anyone managed to get one of these working with any version of FreeBSD? Thanks, PWR. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
