(Yea!) Now I need to configure it - I'm printing out 29.3 now. But I can't get the interface to be brought up at boot, a la: ---- You can configure the system to load the NDIS modules at boot time in the same way as with any other module. First, copy the generated module, W32DRIVER.ko, to the /boot/modules directory. Then, add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: W32DRIVER_load="YES" ---- but I can bring it up manually from the modules directory. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? Thanks.
