Re: ndis problem

2006-05-31 Thread Atanas Atanasov

Well, even when I load bcmwl5_sys only it loads all three modules, due
to references I guess. However no new record appears in ifconfig, no
matter in what order or how I load them. I is getting really
confusing, because there are people who made it and they even say it
works well.

Re: ndis problem

2006-05-31 Thread Dimiter Ivanov

Also after you have the .ko file, you need to load only that file into
the kernel.
That's what i did, because if i tried 'kldload ndis', it gave me an
error that it's allready loaded.

Another thing to check is if freebsd discovers anything on the pccard slot.

I just reread Lorin's mail and noticed that :


I added an ndis linen to loader.conf to load the .ko

dmesg shows no error messages.  But it doesn't show ndis0: being
recognized either.

When I manually try
kldload ndis
it says it is already loaded.


After compiling the module, with ndiscvt you get a module named if_ndis.ko
THAT's what you load NOT ndis.
#kldload /if_ndis.ko
or copy it into /boot/kernel and
#kldload if_ndis

Same thing with using ndisgen, only the file is named bcmwl5_sys.ko

Try using ndisgen to make the wrapper. ndisgen should create a 
bcwml5_sys.ko file in the directory, then you need to copy that file to 
/boot/kernel/
After that in your loader.conf add bcmwl5_sys_load="YES" along with the 
ndis_load="YES". I beleive that the old way of creating the ndis drivers 
is either broken, or being faded out for ndisgen.


I have the same wireless cards and this is the way i did it. So it 
should work.

Re: ndis problem

2006-05-30 Thread Atanas Atanasov

I am having the same problem. Downloaded a couple of driver sets, but
it doesn't work. I tried ndisgen also but nothing changes in ifconfig.
It seems that there are people who actually managed to run this kind
of card but I have not been able to get in touch with them directly.
When you load the kernel module generated say "kldload ndis" and then
you "kldstat" does ndis come before if_ndis or in reverse. Some people
claim that ndis should always be before if_ndis which should be before
bcmwl5_sys. I never managed to order the first two correctly. Also can
you rebuild the references with kldxref or it gives you an error like
"kldxref: can't read hash table"?

If you manage please write back here, and I will do the same.

I had a similar problem, just because when I unpacked my Win driver
file, I had these files:
- w70n51.inf
- w70n51.sys

And I ndiscvt-ed the w70n5* files instead of the w70n51* ones.

NDIS problem on FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE (I think)....

2004-09-29 Thread Eric Schuele
Hello,

I'm not sure who to go to with this.  I managed to get everything installed 
the way I like it on my Dell laptop... including the miniPCI WLAN adapter 
using the NDIS wrapper for Windows Drivers. 

It appears to work flawlessly when I am within range of a WAP... but when I am 
at the office (where there are none)...  I occasionally get completely locked 
up.  If I leave it locked up for a minute or so, it dies and reboots itself.  
I might think it is my wired interface except I can run on it all night at 
home (WAP is present).  Guess I could try disabling my WAP at home and run 
wired.  But its a bit random so I could be like that for hours at home.

It generally happens 2-3 times in an 8 hour period.  Saw it happen once when I 
manually ran dhclient.  If I manually unload the NDIS  modules after booting 
up... It never happens.  So I suspect the NDIS wrapper.

I realize the work may not be completed on these wrappers... but though maybe 
if I could let the appropriate folks know... maybe they could fix it before 
it becomes a real problem.

Any help is appreciated.
Eric

NDIS problem under 5.2.1

2004-05-26 Thread Peter Risdon
I used ndiscvt to convert windows drivers for a netgear WG311v2, 
recompiled the kernel and get the following in my dmesg output:

ndis0:  mem 0xfeac000, 
0xfead, 0xfeafe000-0xfea irq22 at device 1.0 on pci2
ndis0: Reserved 0x2 bytes for rid 0x14 type3 at 0xfeac
ndis0: Reserved 0x2000 bytes for ris 0x10 type3 at 0xfeafe000
ndis: [GIANT-LOCKED]
cab't re-use a leaf (dot11BesiredBSS Type)!
no match for srand
ndis0: NDIS 01 version: 5.1
ndis0: init handler failed
device-probe-and-attach: ndis0 attach returned 6

Any pointers would be appreciated.
PWR.
