Perhaps you want to load the ural device. Try kldload ural and see if you get a new network device (ural0). Since the NIC is being detected as ugen you might need to have the ural device load before the ugen device (or remove ugen from your kernel config, if you don't need it). -- Jonathan Fosburgh AIX and Storage Administrator UT MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston, TX pgpKbPsCVznG7.pgp Description: PGP signature

You did not mention Garrett's reference: http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-27794.html. If may be that your card requires you to manually load the firmware as did the Intel card on my laptop. At some point RTFM becomes a necessity. Here is the road map I followed: 1) Make sure the hardware works. The easiest way to do this is to boot to windows. If you make your system a FreeBSD only, thats a whole other thread. 2) Make sure your card is in the supported list. If it is and ugen is the appropriate drive: man ugen. 3) google your card by name and chipset. The things you find for Linux and the other BSDs will probably be helpful at the driver level. 4) The output from dmesg and pciconf -v may help. Turning on verbose mode in boot may also help. 5) Search the archives on the freebsd mobile and hardware lists. Search questions for ugen in the subject. 6) If all the above fails there is a drive that runs the native windows drivers. Project evil I think on sourceforge. I personally favor running the generic kernel and using kldload and kldstat to figure out what drivers you really need, then loading them at boot time with loader.conf. As I do not have any laptops that use ugen I can not give you specific advise. I hope the above is sorta what you were looking for and helps. You never mentioned what laptop you have, I assume HP from the dmesg. The HP site might actually help, they support FreeBSD, or so I have been told. g'luck regards Marwan Marwan Sultan wrote: Hello gurus, Can someone help me setting up my wireless device on my laptop im on 6.1R, I tried to do as instructed on handbook, but no luck.

In 6.1 there is a script called ndisgen that automates the process described in the Handbook. You will probably find it much easier to read its man page and use it instead of using ndiscvt directly. The instructions amount to become root, run ndisgen, do what it says. Unfortunately, the developer of the ndis drive has specifically stated that USB is not (yet) supported. Once you have successfully built and loaded the NDIS driver, it will by default show up as ndis0 when you do an ifconfig. Once that happens, the rest should be easy.
