Hey, Today I got my hands on a Netgear WG311v3 and since there is no propper support for that card I decided to use nids, so I installed the ndis and if_ndis kernel modules, generated a new Kernel Module by using the WG311v3.INF and WG311v3XP.sys files; according to this thread: http://linuxcompatible.org/Netgear_WG311v3_WLAN_PCI_Card_with_Debian_Linux_Testing_t33271.html I should use those files. So far it worked, I loaded the module correctly and I had a ndis0. Allthough I had problems configuring the card correctly ( it wouldn't assosiate ). So I reloaded the module but this time it wouldn't attach my device correctly. This is what keeps happening: root@FStaals$ kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 12 0xc0400000 5cfe2c kernel 2 1 0xc09d0000 7794 snd_emu10k1.ko 3 2 0xc09d8000 22b88 sound.ko 8 1 0xc0a76000 59b90 acpi.ko 9 2 0xc2cfd000 16000 linux.ko 10 1 0xc2ea7000 3000 daemon_saver.ko 11 1 0xc2ef8000 2000 rtc.ko root@FStaals$ kldload /boot/kernel/WG311v3XP_sys.ko My dmesg shows this: ndis0: <NETGEAR WG311v3 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter> mem 0xfe1e0000-0xfe1effff,0xfe1d0000-0xfe1dffff irq 19 at device 10.0 on pci2 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1 ndis0: init handler failed device_attach: ndis0 attach returned 6 these are the kernel modules loaded after loading WG311v3XP_sys : root@FStaals$ kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 20 0xc0400000 5cfe2c kernel 2 1 0xc09d0000 7794 snd_emu10k1.ko 3 2 0xc09d8000 22b88 sound.ko 8 1 0xc0a76000 59b90 acpi.ko 9 2 0xc2cfd000 16000 linux.ko 10 1 0xc2ea7000 3000 daemon_saver.ko 11 1 0xc2ef8000 2000 rtc.ko 15 1 0xc310c000 47000 WG311v3XP_sys.ko 16 1 0xc30e8000 b000 if_ndis.ko 17 2 0xc376a000 13000 ndis.ko 18 1 0xc377d000 c000 pccard.ko root@FStaals$ The only thing changed since the first time I loaded the module was I copied it to /boot/kernel and I added WG311v3XP_sys_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf but those changes shouldn't have effect on not correctly loading it I think. I also tried to use the WG311v3.sys file, but I get the same output in my dmesg as above. Can anyone tell me why it won't load my module correctly anymore ? And what I should do to get it working again Regards, -- -Frank Staals
