FREEBSD 6.1 RELEASE
I just bought a wireless pci card, CNet CWP-854, and according to the ral man page this card is supported. I compiled a new kernel with 'device wlan' and 'device ral' as per the ral man page, it compile without any errors, but I can't get it to work.
If I run: 'ifconfig ral0 inet 192.168.1.42 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid 04Z412560727'
I get this: 'ifconfig: interface ral0 does not exist'
I run this: 'kldload if_ral'
I get this: 'kldload: can't load if_ral: File exists'
I run this: 'pciconf -lv'
I get this: none1 at pci2:2:0: class=0x028000 card=0x25611814 chip=0x03011814 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Ralink Technology, Corp'
I run this: 'dmesg | grep ral0'
I get this: nothing, zip, not a thing.
Sometimes, when I exit fluxbox I see this on the screen: 'Module pci/ral failed to register: 17'
I'm totally confused, does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
regards
