I complete the rest of the steps and try to kldload ndis and if_ndis. However, once I load ndis I get this: kldload: can't load if_ndis:File exists Also, I can't ifconfig the ndis0 device because I get an error telling me it doesn't exist. Once ndis is loaded via kldload, I cannot unload it. I get a "Device busy" error. I get this error whether the card is plugged in or not. After loading ndis if I plug my WPC11 card in I get: cardbus1: at device 0.0 (no driver attached) I am running 5.4 with the GENERIC kernel. I am completely stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Bryan -- Open Source: by the people, for the people.
