NDIS & D-LINK DWL-650+

[Erik Norgaard]

Hi,

Just before I definitively give up on this crap-card, I just thought I'd
give it another try with project evil without succes. Has anyone
successfully made DWL-650+ work with NDIS?

2ndly: Since I will probably have to buy something else, can anyone
confirm that 3Com OfficeConnect 3crwe154a72 "just works"? The aht(4)
mentions chipset AR5212, but on the Atheros site the 3Com card is based
on AR5002X.

Following the instructions here:

http://tweakbsd.homeunix.org/guides/windoof-ndis-drivers.php

The first failures was because I had not copied some windows binaries to
/combat/ndis. Has anyone succesfully made this card work using NDIS?

This is my resulting dmesg:

cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=20
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=18, size=10000
ndis0: <D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+ Wireless Cardbus Adapter> port
0x1000-0x101f mem 0x88000000-0x8800ffff,0x88010000-0x88010fff irq 11 at
device 0.0 on cardbus0
ndis0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0
ndis0: init handler failed
device_attach: ndis0 attach returned 6

Interestingly, I have:

# pciconf -lv
ndis0 at pci2:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x3b001186 chip=0x8400104c rev=0x00
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Texas Instruments (TI)'
    device   = '802.11b+ 22Mbps Wireless Adapter'
    class    = network

but the device is not available for ifconfig.

I have an Asus E2400M notebook, this is dmesg for the cardbus:

cbb0: <RF5C476 PCI-CardBus Bridge> irq 11 at device 10.0 on pci0
cardbus0: <CardBus bus> on cbb0
pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0
cbb1: <RF5C476 PCI-CardBus Bridge> irq 11 at device 10.1 on pci0
cardbus1: <CardBus bus> on cbb1
pccard1: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb1

Thanks, Erik
