Re: Anyone used ndis successfully?

There are two problems infact: 1. ndisgen remains in a tight loop, telling me that my .INF file format is invalid. Upon investigation, I see that there is a default condition for this in the ndisgen program, so I am not sure how to break out of it. It might be a bug, I need to investigate it more before I file a PR for it. 2. I bypassed ndisgen as a result, and used ndiscvt directly instead, but I get a segfault. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/pcmcia]# ndiscvt -i ./oxser.inf -s ./oxser.sys /* * Generated from ./oxser.inf and ./oxser.sys (49792 bytes) */ Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped) --- Has anyone used ndis successfully? I would appreciate any tips for this. That is my primary concern now, because I have to get the card up _asap_. Thanks in advance. Best, Amarendra I am currently using ndis driver, but ndisgen works just fine for me. Are you sure you've got the right driver files? And what is your FreeBSD version?

Re: Anyone used ndis successfully?
Hello, Yes I have used ndisgen successfully recently (and even in front of running TV cameras, which according to Murphy really should tickle all possible bugs :-) with a Ralink wifi card (yes, a native driver exists, but this was in a TV show and my only point was to demonstrate the functionality of ndisgen) and -CURRENT. Your problem may be related to the fact that the .INF file is either not ASCII coded (but maybe UTF-8) (you can verify this with file(1)) or contains garbage somewhere, like a spurious character or a newline or whatnot that the Windows parser does not trip upon but the ndis one does. You may need to try around a bit. Also, you may want to search the website of the card manufacturer to see if they have a more recent version of the driver or try drivers for various Windows versions. Hope these tips help somewhat :-) -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Budapest Hungary ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Another board A8N-VM CSM had an almost identical broken BIOS which Asus fixed at some point. However Asus have now informed me that FreeBSD is not supported for my board. (It does actually work with a clever fix someone posted but Asus don't want to know). Asus seem to have a bit of a name for crap BIOS's. Moral: make sure you tell the retailer you want to use it with another operating system than Windows and make them agree to take it back if it doesn't work.

The only risk you take is a possible (but not very likely to happen, I suppose) corrupted INDEX file, which you can always recreate using make index/portsdb -U or fetch from the freebsd.org site using make fetchindex, so I think you can safely try it. -Radek ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have just seen a demo on RH, but can't stand RH and would rather run my FreeBSD desktop. Thanks, Ron Clark I had tried about 2 months ago. From memory, there was an issue with it using something like 'chown user.group' format within its setup script. After I got around that, it seg faulted when executed :( But I don't know much about programming. Maybe someone with experience has got it working. I believe it relies on Wine to work. -Ekrem ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
