Ndisgen seemed to work fine After kldloading the resulting module, ifconfig shows: ndis0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:00:00:ee:ed:c6 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX) status: no carrier It is connected though (via DB9, not RJ45). I don't see how you can specify 4mbps or 16mbps, attempting the oltr media types for example "UTP/4mbps" says no such media type. I am wondering if the ndisgen utility is only designed for ndis Ethernet cards instead of my case - ndis token ring. :( Jay West EZwind.net PO Box 460474 Saint Louis, MO 63146 Voice: (314) 262-4143 ext 1000 Toll Free: (866) 343-2589 Fax: (314) 558-9284 jwest@ezwind.net -------------------------------------------- This e-mail transmission may contain information that is proprietary, privileged and/or confidential and is intended exclusively for the person(s) to whom it is addressed.

Perhaps it would be worth firing up that older version. I know it's a long shot but at least you would have access to the driver code that may actually still work in the current version. It would certainly make an interesting story if you sort it all out.
