Anyone used ndis successfully?
Hi, I am trying to convert a ZTE pcmcia card .sys and .inf file to be used with my IBM T60 notebook, but I hit a segfault in ndiscvt. There are two problems infact: 1. ndisgen remains in a tight loop, telling me that my .INF file format is invalid. Upon investigation, I see that there is a default condition for this in the ndisgen program, so I am not sure how to break out of it. It might be a bug, I need to investigate it more before I file a PR for it. 2. I bypassed ndisgen as a result, and used ndiscvt directly instead, but I get a segfault. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/pcmcia]# ndiscvt -i ./oxser.inf -s ./oxser.sys /* * Generated from ./oxser.inf and ./oxser.sys (49792 bytes) */ Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped) --- Has anyone used ndis successfully? I would appreciate any tips for this. That is my primary concern now, because I have to get the card up _asap_. Thanks in advance.

Best, Amarendra I am currently using ndis driver, but ndisgen works just fine for me. Are you sure you've got the right driver files? And what is your FreeBSD version?

With another cart the Win98 driver was ok, and WinXP was not. Try using a different driver version.

Re: Anyone used ndis successfully?
Hello, Yes I have used ndisgen successfully recently (and even in front of running TV cameras, which according to Murphy really should tickle all possible bugs :-) with a Ralink wifi card (yes, a native driver exists, but this was in a TV show and my only point was to demonstrate the functionality of ndisgen) and -CURRENT. Your problem may be related to the fact that the .INF file is either not ASCII coded (but maybe UTF-8) (you can verify this with file(1)) or contains garbage somewhere, like a spurious character or a newline or whatnot that the Windows parser does not trip upon but the ndis one does. You may need to try around a bit. Also, you may want to search the website of the card manufacturer to see if they have a more recent version of the driver or try drivers for various Windows versions. Hope these tips help somewhat :-) -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Budapest Hungary ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
