Re: Netgear WG511 (no driver attached)
Glenn Sieb said the following on 10/23/2004 4:49 PM: After some digging, and some emails back & forth to Matt Juszczak, I found this driver: http://green.homeunix.org/~green/prism54-driver/pff/ Compiled it, installed it and *puf* my card came up! :) Now... I installed KWirelessMonitor... the graphics come up & such fine... but it can't seem to connect to device pff0... now... funny thing is--the card's in, it's working... but there's no /dev/pff0 My gut says there *should be* a /dev/pff0--right? How do I make this happen.. I've tried adding: perm pff0 0644 To /etc/devfs.conf to (no surprise really) no avail. I'm running 5.3-STABLE [RC1 cvsup'd]. I'm kind of new at adding device drivers & such, so I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong (or even *if* I'm doing something wrong) Any help is, as always, greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Andy said the following on 8/21/2004 3:14 PM: not sure if you got this problem solved yet, but the reason the ath driver didnt work is because the WG511 uses the Prism Duette chipset (it is the WG511T that uses the ath) You can get it up and running under linux, (http://www.prism54.org) but i do not know of any native FreeBSD drivers If you've already solved this, than ignore me ;) I, too, have recently purchased a WG511--and since I am interested in getting this working (5.3-STABLE).

Re: Netgear WG511 (no driver attached)
Andrew, Thanks for the suggestion. I have recompiled my kernel with device ath device ath_hal and rebooted, and got the same behavior. I will attempt to cvsup and upgrade just for kicks. Anyone have any other suggestions? TIA, Drew On Tue, 2004-01-20 at 16:54, Andrew L.

Netgear WG511 (no driver attached)
Greetings, Please forgive the cross post (sent to freebsd-mobile also), but I have not received a reply from -mobile yet. I have Netgear WG511 running on 5.2-CURRENT. If I boot with the card or insert it after boot I get the following output: cardbus0: at device 0.0 (no driver attached) cbb0: CardBus card activation failed I have the wireless devices wlan, an, awi, wi, cbb, pccard and cardbus all compiled directly in my kernel. Can someone pleae point me to some documentation on how to define a driver for this card to use and to configure wireless networking in FreeBSD?
