Hello, Yes I have used ndisgen successfully recently (and even in front of running TV cameras, which according to Murphy really should tickle all possible bugs :-) with a Ralink wifi card (yes, a native driver exists, but this was in a TV show and my only point was to demonstrate the functionality of ndisgen) and -CURRENT. Your problem may be related to the fact that the .INF file is either not ASCII coded (but maybe UTF-8) (you can verify this with file(1)) or contains garbage somewhere, like a spurious character or a newline or whatnot that the Windows parser does not trip upon but the ndis one does. You may need to try around a bit. Also, you may want to search the website of the card manufacturer to see if they have a more recent version of the driver or try drivers for various Windows versions. Hope these tips help somewhat :-) -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Budapest Hungary
