What have you tried?

 

[freesbies]

Nothing yet, but I saw something like NDIS in the FreeBSD manual. I will try and I'll say something to you.

peace

If the card chipset is supported, just plugging it in should create a new network device. So plug it in and look for it:
% ifconfig
% pciconf -lv | grep -B3 network

I did, ndisgen /path/to/W32DRIVER.INF /path/to/W32DRIVER.SYS and I got this message:

- generating Makefile... done.
Building kernel module... "/usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk", line 12: "can't finding kernel source tree"
build failed. Exiting. -

I did also that command and didn't make a new network device. It seems to support the chipset 'Ralink Technology, Corp'.

Please, if you want to use NDIS then you must have FreeBSD source available under /usr/src and /sys.

That is even mentioned when you use/run ndisgen(8).
