Windows NDIS device drivers work because the co-called Project Evil is emulating the NDIS subsystem of Windows, effectively tricking these drivers into believing they run under Windows. However, to support Windows drivers for USB networking devices, would require emulation of the USB subsystem in Windows as well. This is not the case for FreeBSD today. Svein Halvor Thanks Svein. That's exactly the kind of definitive answer I was looking for. ndiswrapper, the equivalent Linux project, does handle USB devices, so I thought I might be lucky with Evil. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
