I'm trying to use FreeBSD on a Lenovo laptop of mine, which has a Realtek RTL8192SE WLAN PCI-Express card. Since there's no real driver, I tried generating one from the Windows driver using
ndisgen. However, when I load the driver, it simply doesn't do anything at all, as if, I guess, it didn't recognize the hardware. I find that strange, however, because the card's IDs (chip=0x817210ec, card=0xe02010ec) are listed in the INF file. Shouldn't that reasonably mean that the generated driver should at least try to initialize the card? How the module generated by ndisgen actually works is opaque to me, however. Is there any way I can debug this?(I'm sorry if this is a common problem. I've tried googling for similar things, but with no success.)
