Generic kernel. The wireless 'card' is a built-in Broadcom 802.11 b/g My PC is a Compaq V2607CL Turion based notebook I downloaded a driver kit from HP. It created c:\SWSetup\SP32158A\ In that folder I found bcmwl5.inf bcmwl5.sys bcmwl5npf.sys and lots of other files. The .INF file was UNICODE. But as far as I can tell the only special characters were in the [strings] section for various countries. I cut off all the other countries leaving just US and forced it to ASCII. ndiscvt gave no error messages. The make make install gave no error messages. 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. When I try ifconfig -a there is no ndis: When I try ifconfig ndis0: it says there is no interface. I don't know what else to try. --------------000406020209040207090001--
