Hi all Freebsd 6.3 RC2 (DesktopBSD 1.6) Laptop: Samsung Q35 WIFI: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG ADSL with WIFI working In order to use the wifi included in this laptop i use NDIS with the MS Windows drivers and produced the file "w39n51_sys.ko". The MS driver has one INF and one SYS files and also one DLL files. I have used only the INF and SYS files. must I use the DLL file also? I copied to "/boot/modules" and in "/boot/loader.conf" put the line w39n51_sys_load="YES" as the handbook says, but this does not work, my laptop hungs at boot time. Then I tried to load manually the module kldload w39n51_sys.ko then ifconfig shows the ndis0 with NO carrier, and my laptop works fine. But I can not detect any WIFI with "ifconfig ndis0 scan" Maybe I am doing something wrong, what? Is there a driver for this wireless device? where? thanks in advance Juan Coruņa Desarrollo de Software Atlantico
