The wrapped .sys file can't have stubs for attach/detach/etc? That way it would be the module that creates & destroys the device instance= =20 even if all it does it call if_ndis functions.. > I put a snapshot of the code (relative to -current) at: > > http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/ndis_snap.tar.gz > > The script and stub file are in the usr.sbin/ndiscvt directory.

Looks good although perhaps a non-interactive version to allow you to use=20 filename completion would be handy. =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart2238260.9b1PmSkGtP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCaGCL5ZPcIHs/zowRAns5AJ9Ms2E34cLitK/V4EHvyZp1mqYviACdHEfk t5DQnot4qoU0lmsU9uIRGnU= =MOar -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2238260.9b1PmSkGtP--
