I've tryed to use the Windows driver, but it doesn't seem to work. I did the following: # cd /usr/src/sys/modules/ndis/ # make && make install # cd ../if_ndis/ # cp /cdrom/driver/* ./ # ndiscvt -i ./netwpx96.inf -s ./wlpx96e.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h # make && make install # kldload ndis # kldload if_ndis When running dmesg there are no ndis0 to be found in the list. The only data linked to the card is the following: pccard0: <unknown card> (manufacturer=0x0101, product=0x0696) at function 0 pccard0: CIS info: 3Com, 3CRSHPW_96 Wireless LAN PC Card, (null) Regards Lars On Tuesday 15 February 2005 18:04, you wrote: > On Tuesday 15 February 2005 10:40 am, Lars Hederidder wrote: > > Hey, > > > > I have a 3Com 3CRSHPW_96 Wireless PCMIA card for my laptop. > > However I'm a newbie at using PCMIA cards on FreeBSD. > > > > BSD finds the card when I plug it in, but it doesn't show up when > > I use the ifconfig command. > > > > Can anyone help me with this problem, so I can get it up and running. > > The system is a fresh installed FreeBSD 5.3 > > > > Thanks in advance > > Lars > > When you say FreeBSD "sees" the card, do you mean it is associated with > a device, or just that the card's name appears in dmesg? > > It would appear, from the email message link below, that this card > requires the use of it's Windows drivers. > > http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2004-September/004804.htm >l > > Follow the link below to the online handbook's chapter on wireless > networking.
