Which steps do I have to take to add the zyd device to FreeBSD? Upgrade to 7.0? How to do that is documented on freebsd.org in the handbook. If the driver isn't available in 6[.x]-STABLE (I have no idea, I run 7-STABLE), it's not been backported, meaning that there hasn't been (or not sufficient) interest in doing that, and I'd presume that you don't want to do that either (or lack the technical skills to do so, which I don't mean in a derogative way), so your only real option is to upgrade. Oh, by the way: it's generally not considered good manners to cross-post to several mailinglists. One is enough, and in your case, -questions was just fine. -- Heiko Wundram ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

From the subject line, I imagine Jack is using 6.3-STABLE and wants to backport the driver from 7.0 to 6.3. Backporting most drivers from 7.0 to 6.x isn't a big deal (can generally just copy over and compile). However, zyd(4) is a wireless driver and the net80211 wireless networking stack is quite different in 6.x vs 7.0, so that is where it would be complicated to backport the driver. I'm not intimately familiar with net80211 in either branch, so I'm unsure how much work the backport would be. -- John Baldwin ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You need to obtain these revisions to compile zyd: sys/dev/usb/if_zyd.c 1.13 sys/modules/zyd/Makefile 1.1 Revision 1.14 was when the net80211 wireless networking stack was committed.
