Greets, I've recently installed 6.2 Stable on a Compaq Evo N610c, and am running into some brick walls. Was wondering if anyone is sucessfully using a Belkin N1 wireless card (native BSD driver or ndis, doesn't matter to me so long as it works). Here is the relevant dmesg as pertains to card: <snip> cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0xe0 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=10000 cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=10000 cardbus0: <network, ethernet> at device 0.0 (no driver attached) <snip> With the ndis-generated driver loaded, I get the following: <snip> ndis0: <Belkin N1 Wireless Notebook Card> mem 0x88000000-0x8800ffff,0x88010000-0x8801ffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0 NDIS: open file /compat/ndis/cb8350.bin failed: 2 ndis0: Ethernet address: <my MAC addy> <snip> So the error is there, but ifconfig shows the card: # ifconfig ndis0 ndis0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether <my MAC addy> media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid "" channel 1 authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 bmiss 7 protmode CTS But when I, # ifconfig ndis0 up scan ifconfig: unable to get scan results even though the lights on the card light up. If anyone has resolved this (or knows what I'm doing wrong), please confer. WizLayer
