1) Copied the netwg311.sys and wg311v2.inf files frome the Windows 2000 folder from the distribution CD-ROM.
2) Ran ndiscvt -i /home/ecrist/wg311v2.inf -s /home/ecrist/ netwg311.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h as root
3) Copied ndis_driver_data.h to the /usr/src/sys directory.
4) Added the following lines to my custom kernel config (GROG) options NDISAPO device ndis
5) Ran (from /usr/src) make buildkernel KERNCONF=GROG
6) Ran (from /usr/src) make installkernel KERNCONF=GROG
7) Rebooted (no ndis0 listing in ifconfig output)
Any idea what I did wrong?
Thanks.
WAIT! I've found something. Here's a snippet from dmesg:
ndis0: <NETGEAR WG311v2 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter> mem 0xec800000-0xec81ffff,0xed000000-0xed001fff irq 17 at device 14.0 on pci0
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0
NDIS: could not find file FwRad16.bin in linker list
NDIS: and no filesystems mounted yet, aborting NdisOpenFile()
ndis0: init handler failed
Any ideas about that?
Thanks.
I've figured out what files are missing, I just need to know where to put them for NDIS to find them. Can someone direct me, please? It's late, so tomorrow I'll start pulling apart code to figure it out.
I'll post a full how-to for this network card once I get this all configured. Thanks for your help.

Looks like your driver, or card, needs a firmware file. If you hadn't compiled it in you would not have this problem. You would just need to put the firmware in /compat/ndis and after root was mounted the driver would load it. Since you have it compiled in you need to make it so the loader can load it. Read man ndiscvt starting at byte 5107, or the -f firmfile section. I would recommend you recompile without it and use the module.
