[FreeNAS] Can someone please ndisgen for me?

Hi all,

I'm trying to get FreeNAS (v0.7.2) up and running on my wireless card but am having no luck even with the latest nightly. I have 2 wireless half mini pci-e cards, a Broadcom BCM4322 and a Realtek RTL8187. I have the Windows drivers (.sys and .inf) for both of these cards and want to ndisgen them but FreeNAS doesn't appear to support the command.

A FreeBSD download is almost 2GB so I was wondering if someone here already running FreeBSD could kindly run ndisgen for me on my files, and return the generated .ko drivers? It would be immensely appreciated.

I have zipped all 4 files here (sorry I don't have a tgz program) :

Thanks!!
 
The resulting module will not be arch independent, so you need to say which architecture you're using.

I'd also mention which tag, but it's unlikely to be relevant if the difference is between minor revisions -- my rtl8187se .ko works with 8.1 even though I compiled against 8.0.

Interestingly, I had the opposite experience with ndisgen'ed drivers between minor revisions.

I'm pretty sure the arch is 32-bit i386:

OS Version FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE-p2 (revision 199506)
Platform i386-full on Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N280 @ 1.66GHz

Results here. I don't know if they'll work for you, but I tested loading them here:
