(machine specs follow) I can't get a driver to work for the integrated network card. I've spent a number of hours on google / "the complete freeBSD" / "the freeBSD handbook". the handbook (section 11.8 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-network-setup.html) outlines using ndis (project evil) drivers. I tried using this. I went through ndisgen, and everything seemed to work. I then tried to use kldload and got the error message: "kldload: can't load file.ko :operation not permitted" of course I did all of this as root. I am using the amd64 version of freeBSD (is this my first mistake?) and the 64 bit version of the drivers. as a side note, the supplied driver disk includes a source version of the linux driver. is there any way to use this? Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated. Ray machine specs ASUS M2N-SLI DELUXE mobo 2GB ram AMD 5200 x2 processor (sorry, the box isn't in front of me)
