The main trouble seems to be that NDIS works only with kernel versions LATER than 5.2.1, which is what I have installed. It has been suggested that I try and upgrade to 5.3-BETA (as much as I'm wary of betas, I may have no choice in order to get this working). > also instead of fetching the you could retrive the > sources using cvsup > just get usr-sys and usr-sbin Good suggestion, but how can I cvsup if I don't have a working 'Net interface? ;) Seriously, I could download and burn these directories to a CD on another machine, but I think I'm going to go with burning the 5.3beta2 mini-install CD instead (since I need to burn a CD anyway). > Jorge Thanks again Jorge.

For some reason, my original reply didn't make it into my copy of the list's digest. I've also gotten a recommendation to try installing CURRENT, as the implementation for NDIS apparently wasn't ready in time for RELEASE. Sounds like one of the very few times using CURRENT would be the correct thing to do... I'll give CURRENT a try, and if it fails, I'll go with the suggestions in the Diary (which are basically to grab the relevent source bits from 5.2-CURRENT (probably better to use 5.3 at this point) and install from there). I can report the results to anyone interested. > Good luck. > Again, thanks Radek. > -Radek > ~John __ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

The thing you're probably looking for is called NDISulator aka Project Evil, written by Bill Paul. NDISulator is available on -CURRENT and 5.3-BETA, but after some tweaking can also be installed on 5.2.1-RELEASE.
