Re: need help using ndis and inconv
When I enter the command: # rehash Nothing happens. I still can't run the iconv command. In fact, I don't see an iconv executable file anywhere. I installed it as a package, and when I run the command: # pkg_info -L iconv-2.0_3 | less I get a list of files -- mainly .so files and .cct files in the /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/libexec/iconv directories. The only executable files are a biconv file and a iconv_mktbl, which is perl script text executable. I'm not sure what to do. Again, my main objective of to get ndis to convert a windows driver for my wireless nic card so I can use it on my Free BSD system. When I run the command: # biconv I get the system sends back this message: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libbiconv.so.2 not found, required by biconv. I'm not sure it matters, but libbiconv.so.2 is in the /usr/local/lib/ directory. At this point I am totally lost. What else can I do to get iconv and ndis running?

Run following command if you have csh/tcsh as your shell: # rehash and then try the iconv command again. regards, shantanoo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
need help using ndis and inconv
I need whatever help I can get to use ndis to converter wireless nic card so I can use it on my laptop. it seems that I don't have iconv working properly. I go into the ndisgen program by typing the command: # ndisgen The program opens and gives a list of options. I choose option 3: Convert driver. The program then asks me to type in the path to the .inf file. So I type: /cdrom/DRIVER/bcmwl5.inf The program then says This .INF file appears to be in Unicode.

Since it seems that the main problem now is getting iconv to run, the question is do I have it installed correctly? Do I need to change any environment variables to get the system to run it? How do I do this so that it runs automatically inside the ndisgen program, since this what it seems like the system is trying to do? Thanks for any help.
