Hi: Here is a situation that i'm facing on a Compaq C301TU laptop.
The NIC card (Realtek) does not work due to driver issue. The WLAN card (Broadcom) does not work due to driver issue. Currently, i review the possible patch visually on an identical laptop (running FreeBSD-8) and then type out the code on the other laptop in sys/dev/netif/rl/if_rl.c file. Is there a better way to apply patches on a system that doesnot have functional network devices ? i'm leaning towards USB-Ethernet and was wondering if there is a USB-Ethernet device that is known to work fine with DragonFly BSD 2.4.1 ? Please accept my apologies for this newbie query and look forward to suggestions from the more experienced folks on this matter. thanks Saifi.
