Belkin Wireless G notebook card

[Scott Ballantyne]

I am trying to get a Belkin Wireless G notebook card running on a Sony
VAIO laptop, FreeBSD 6.1.

I followed the advice in the handbook and copied the following files
from the Belkin CD to the if_ndis directory:

     rt61.inf and rt61.sys

and ran

ndiscvt -i rt61.inf -s rt61.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h

after make and make install  I did:

kldload ndis
kldload if_ndis

This gave an error if_ndis: file exists.

But kldstat showed the if_ndis driver loaded.

I also tried copying the RT619x.sys file to the if_ndis directory,
and doing

ndiscvt -i rt61.inf -s rt61.sys -o -f RT619.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h

make, make install.

None of these seem to enable the card. dmesg tells me:

cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0x0
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=8000
cardbus0: <network> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
cardbus0: Expecting link target, got 0x0
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=8000

This sounds like there is some sort of builtin database that needs to
be modified, but I can't seem to find anything in the handbook or
manual pages.

Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Thanks,
Scott
