Jayton,







to use ndis successful on freebsd 6.0, you just have to make sure:







- having your windows-drivers for your card



- that you can read 



- only use ndisgen







...ndisgen did the trick! great stuff. i could contact yesterday without
any problem my access-point.







Unfortunately, ifconfig....authmode wpa did not work, so i created a
wpa.conf and used wpa_supplicant -indis0 -c/etc/wpa.conf -Bw ->

ifconfig then recognized itself, that there exists a wpa-secured

connection.







BTW. i was not able to change the channel, it stayed on channel 1 with
ifconfig.







Also, i could not leave my network, perhaps of pf or routing, but the
wlan-card must work, because i could connect via wireless the

access-point.







Thanks again,



Roger
