Note: I've never done NDIS before as I have a Cisco PCM-352 which is supported under FreeBSD. However, I'll offer my thoughts in case they help: a) I'm not so sure building anything into the kernel would help as opposed to it being a module. I generally wait til I've tested the module and found that it works well before I compile it into the kernel, and only then for speed purposes. b) If you have a MODULES_OVERRIDE in your kernel config, it won't build/install any modules you don't list there. Try commenting out MODULES_OVERRIDE in your kernel config if it's there and rebuild your kernel. If that works, problem solved. -- Josh Ockert WMU Student: French Linguistics, Computer Science -- The irony in biblical creationists' rhetoric of implicitly claiming that God's universe is so chaotic that carbon decays at erratic rates is too delicious to ignore. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
