ndis or if_ndis problem in freebsd7.2

P

I have a broadcom 4322 wireless network card in my laptop.
but no driver for freebsd is supplied. so I want to implement it with NDIS. after i compiled and installed the ndis and if_ndis, execute 'kldload ndis,kldload if_ndis',
both modules are loaded when i viewed the module list by 'kldstat',but when i execute 'ifconfig -a',no device named 'ndis0' existed, i don't know why? the bsd release is freebsd 7.2 AMD64.
 
by the way, after I loaded ndis and if_ndis module though it seems that they are not valid because no device is displayed executing the command 'ifconfig -a',then kldload bcmwl564_sys (for 64bit),it crashed, reboot automatically after a while,why? my OS is freebsd 7.2 amd64.
 
Just try loading bcmwl564_sys.ko. It will automatically load the ndis module with it.

What does dmesg say when you load the bcmwl564_sys module? What error does it print when the kernel panics? (assuming that's what happened when you say it crashed and auto-rebooted)

Click to expand...
no error provided, maybe no DDB or KDB options in current kernel,
how can i dump the crashed message when kernel panic?
 
Not sure on that one; I'm quite new to FreeBSD and I was running the debugging enabled 8-CURRENT kernel at the time. :(

Anyways, what does dmesg say when you insert the module?
