USB wireless network adapter, ndis problem
Hi. I have the D-Link DWL-G122 Rev. A2 USB wireless network adapter (the one not supported by FreeBSD 7), so I am trying to get it to work with ndis. I run
Code:
ndisgen PRISMA02.inf PRISMA02.sys Code:
kldload PRISMA02_sys.ko Code:
ifconfig ndis0 |

It looks like my USB wireless network adapter is appearing as ugen0, but
Code:
ifconfig ugen0 Last edited by ronaldmcdonald9; 8th July 2008 at 12:04 AM. |

ugen(4) is the USB "generic" device, it will attach when no other driver can.
Please read man pages. Last edited by BSDfan666; 8th July 2008 at 04:40 PM. |

FreeBSD does not yet fully support USB devices through NDIS - read : it doesnt work.
Instead, try p54u driver from prism54 project: www.prism54.org It is available as port net/p54u Last edited by richardpl; 8th July 2008 at 04:32 PM. |

Hi. This looks exactly like what I've been looking for. However, I am now having some difficulty installing it in FreeBSD 7. I run the following commands as root:
Code:
cd /usr/ports/net/p54u make install clean Note: I have tried every previous version of this driver and each one fails to compile. Does this have something to do with the fact that these drivers were written for FreeBSD 6, but I have FreeBSD 7? Or is it possible that I am missing some kernel header files somewhere or something (even though this port has no dependencies other than itself)? Also, according to http://portsmon.freebsd.org/chartsan...ph.i386-7.html, net/p54u "should be in sync with the kernel to work correctly"? Could this be the problem?

Absolutely, post output of error, and maybe something will come up, also send bug for that port.
