I am running FreeBSD 10. My wireless card is:
none1@pci0:9:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x818210ec chip=0x819910ec rev=0x22 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
device = 'RTL8187SE Wireless LAN Controller'
class = network
I followed the instructions at https://www.dan.me.uk/blog/2010/01/25/ndis-wifi-drivers-in-freebsd-project-evil/
I was able to successfully create and load a ko file from the WindXP driver for my NIC. I did not get the output:
ndis0: <Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC> port 0×3000-0x30ff mem 0xfa000000-0xfa003fff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci3
ndis0: [ITHREAD]
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1
Or anything similar to that. When I do ifconfig
I do not see the ndis device. Can someone please help me with setting up this WNIC? Am I missing a step? I do not see the device at all.
Steps I took:
- Downloaded WinXP driver
ndisgen /drv/net8187Se.inf /drv/rtl8187Se.sys
- Moved the
rtl***_sys.ko
file to/boot/modules
Edited
/etc/rc.conf
