Re: ndis no longer detects netgear wg311v2
FWIW, I am having the *exact* same problem starting today. I hadn't updated my STABLE machine since April. NDIS was working fine (save a frew crashes) before I updated last night.. and now NDIS will not even talk about the card. There is also a slight freeze on the machine after the if_ndis module is loaded. I will do some more investigating, but now there's at least two of us. Did you ever find a fix?

I had a similar problem with a recent system update two days ago. I noticed that the if_ndis.ko was half smaller and there was not any reference to my NIC anymore. After a few search I noticed that ndisgen is a tool able to generate a specific loadable module based on .inf and .sys. So I used ndisgen, copied the generated ko to /boot/kernel and manually kldload it : my NIC was back. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a good resource about the correct procedure to generate the module but I have a bigger problem than this one at the moment :( Hope that helps.

Okay, so if you take a look at cvsweb, you'll find some information in a commit message somewhere. I'm not going to make you look for it, don't worry. The procedure for creating the kernel module has changed. For some reason this never made it to updating, and appears to only be documented in the commit message. The commit message references ndisgen(8). It could have been some other number, but it doesn't matter because the man page doesn't exist anywhere anyway. Luckily, ndisgen is basically self-documenting. You just run it, maybe choose to read the explanation text, and choose the option to create the kernel module. It will prompt you for your sys and inf files, along with any firmware files you might need. You should be warned though, that you'll want to have the paths to your files available because there's no file browser functionality and if you suspend ndisgen while you look up the path, ^L won't redraw the screen. It would be handy to have a non-interactive version again, but oh well. -- Evan Dower Software Development Engineer Amazon.com, Inc.
