Hi.

I was install FreBSD


Next I download Windowds driver:

ar5513.sys
net5513.cat
net5513.inf



Next I make it

# ndisegn ar5513.sys net5513.inf net5513.cat


in result - I have that :

ar5513.sys.ko
net5513.cat.ko


Then I make kernel with:

options NDISAPI
device ndis
device wlan

These files I copy in /boot/kernel/


And edit /boot/loader.conf
ar5513_sys_load="YES"
net5513_cat_load="YES"

Then reboot ;-)


BUT!!!

if I do:

ifconfig ndis0 ssid Wi-Fi.5-stars channel 11 media DS/11Mbps mediaopt hostap up stationname "Wi-Fi.5-stars"

I have:

NDIS0: setting BSSID failed: 45
ifconfig: SIOCS80211: Invalid argument


I ask in support. They said what NDIS coudn't changed SSID because NDIS not support the Wirless-Card. <ENG.txt><RUS.txt>_______________________________________________

According to this thread: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd- hardware/2007-May/004426.html Sam was working on the chipset that is in that card. Contact him and see if he can help you out getting it working natively. I don't believe you can set up hostap's with NDIS wrapper.
