Description

Hello!

I have an Asus WL-130b wireless card. It has an rt2400 chipset, which is not supported by native drivers, so I decided to use if_ndis on my DragonFly 1.8.1 box. After I compiled th interface driver according to the documentation, and loaded the neccessery modules, I had those on my console:

ndis0: detached

First I tried to scan for network, but it failed to find anything at all.
After that, I tried to assign an IP address to the card, and I suddenly got this:

--

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0xdead0059

current process = Idle
current thread = pri 29

kernel: type 12 trap, code=0
Stopped at 0xdead0059:

This was using the Win2k drivers, but it gave the same ressults with WinXP drivers.

The card is working under ndiswrapper and FreeBSD ndis.
I can access the machine through serial console.

What additonal information should I provide?

After the crash, try calling the 'trace' command from the debug prompt (and submit its output), maybe a crash dump will also be needed, but that depends upon the developers. :-)

hand over to myself. I probably will write a native driver for it. Or anyone
want to pick it up?

This is believed to have been fixed with the 2011 ndis upgrade. In any case it would have to be re-tested with an rt2400 and master. If that is ever done and the issue persists, feel free to re-open, of course.
