D-Link DWL-G650 H/W Ver.: C3

[Harry Barrantes]

Thanks Daniele, I tried your steps, check this:

daemon# ndiscvt -i NetA3AB.inf -s A3AB.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h
ndiscvt: line 422: "D:ARAI(A;;GA;;;BA)(A;;GA;;;SY)(A;CI;GA;;;IU)": syntax
error.
daemon#

I'm running FBSD 6 RC1

Let me know...

Hi, does anybody had success with the D-Link DWL-G650 H/W Ver.: C3 on
FreeBSD and can guide me to make it work?

I have the same card, and made it work throu the NDIS wrapper.

It was a little hard, at first, 'cause the docs aren't exactly clear,
but here are the steps:

1) copy the two files A3AB.sys and NetA3AB.inf in your
working/source/whatever directory

2) from this dir run:
ndiscvt -i NetA3AB.inf -s A3AB.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h

3) copy the ndis_driver_data.h file (3MB more or less) in
/usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis

4) from this directory: make && make install

5) kldload if_ndis should load the driver and you should see the message
in console/dmesg output.

By the way, when you load the driver it tries to load a regAdd.txt file,
does anybody know what this is and how can/should it be used?

HTH,
D.

Try ndisgen.

Ok, I downloaded the C driver from Dlink Site, and

ndiscvt -i NetA3AB.inf -s A3AB.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h

Copied the file into /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis and from this directory
make && make install

Then kldload if_ndis ; the Act led blinks but on the dmesg appears

carbus0: <network, ethernet> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)

ifconfig doesn’t show anything.

Mmh... that's strange, it seems there is a problem with you .inf file. I
don't think that 6.0RC1 is much different from my 5.4, but have you
tried downloading the Windows' drivers directly from the d-link site?

Ciao,
D.

Are you sure the cardbus driver works as expected? Have you got any
other cardbus device you could try out?

I, at first, had problems with my notebook, until the "cannot assign
irq" (or something like this) went away.

Sorry, I can't think of anything else.

Ciao,
D.

Use ndisgen instead of ndiscvt - actually, things are changed some time ago
and now we have ndisgen to build modules.
The way you've done build is no use now.

Hi people, finally I used the ndisgen method with the latest "C" driver
downloaded from Dlink Site, and works!!

Now I want to show you this to be sure that it's working fine.

With ifconfig:

ndis0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:13:46:70:10:16
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect
status: no carrier
ssid "" channel 1
authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS


And Dmesg

ndis0: <D-Link AirPlus DWL-G650 Wireless Cardbus Adapter(rev.C)> mem
0x88000000-0x8800ffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus0
can't re-use a leaf (BusType)!
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1
NDIS: open file /compat/ndis/regAdd.txt failed: 2
ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:13:46:70:10:16

Let me know..
