I installed FreeBSD8.0-RELEASE so I could see if it's compatible with my Netgear WG111T (this is newly supported in 8.0).
Not surprising, uath (the new driver) is not in GENERIC (oopps, yes it is), so I copied GENERIC to LAPTOP3 and commented out most of the drivers, since I don't need them. I ensured that uath was not commented. Please note, as I wrote this I checked GENERIC and uath IS there, but it didn't get loaded because I don't see it with ifconfig... I added KERNCONF=LAPTOP3 to /etc/make.conf, went to /usr/src and rebuilt just the kernel, figuring the world was already sync'ed with GENERIC. The uath isn't showing up after a reboot. Do I need to buildworld/installworld or do I have to use uathload to load firmware? I figure the device already has firmware and I'd only have to use uathload if I got newer firmware from Netgear. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
