I have tried to use ndis before, but never successfully. I used custom kernel, but src tree was not patched. Do I have to build a separate kernel without rsu to test ndis, or is disabling at loader good enough? set hint.rsu.0.disabled="1" Then would the device name be ndis0, or rtl8192su0, or without the 0, or something else? Would I have to run ndisgen again? Or did the presence of rsu in kernel have no effect on building the module? I might also want to test on FreeBSD-current i386. Which MS-Windows version should I prefer between 2000, XP, Vista and 7? My fallible inclination is toward XP. Tom
