Trying to get wireless networking on my notebook, i tried the NDISulator. After copying the configuration and binary files to the corresponding path at /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis, i created the driver definition header using ndiscvt(8). Then, i have build and install the driver module without problem: if_ndis.ko is copied to /boot/kernel and kldxref -v seems happy (kldxref: /boot/kernel/if_ndis.ko: 488 REL entries). But, if i can load the NDIS driver wrapper correctly (using kldload ndis), loading the network interface seems more problematic: # kldload if_ndis kldload: can't load if_ndis: No such file or directory Here is the kernel message: # tail -1 /var/log/messages Apr 16 15:05:46 boboche kernel: link_elf: symbol windrv_load undefined I tried this with the two available Windows versions for this wireless network module: win98/2k and winxp... without much success. Fix: Not known to me. How-To-Repeat: Just try to load the corresponding NDIS wrapper and provided module: # kldload ndis # kldload /path/to/if_ndis.ko kldload: can't load /path/to/if_ndis.ko: No such file or directory # tail -1 /var/log/messages Apr 18 23:28:14 hostname kernel: link_elf: symbol windrv_load undefined Attached files (wlan.tar.gz): - if_ndis.ko; - WIndows 98/2K and Windows XP configuration and binary files.
Hello Hanspeter, > I've seen your PR 80081. I have a similar problem. Just I've only > tried with WinXP. > > In your PR you mentioned attachment wlan.tar.gz. But in webinterface > of the PR database none is visible. > Maybe you need to uuencode it? Yes, sorry. I had use the '-a' option of send-pr(1) to automatically uuencode binary file... without success it seems.

As i am the originator of this PR, i think it may be closed now: - I didn't try to play with this device for a long time now (integrated WLAN support); - I bought an external WLAN PCCARD, supported out the box by FreeBSD; - I will not have this notebook for a long time, so i could not answer to reply(ies) on this PR in a near future (one or two months)... if any. As a side note -- and for future reference to this one -- the updated location for provided PR's data is: http://www.thilelli.net/~jgabel/store/pub/PR/80081/ Thank you, -- -jpeg.
