It is running fine. But I'm trying toget the built in Broadcom wireless
working.
I downloaded the driver from hp.com. The .INF file was over 600K but
most of that was multiple language
support. (The INF file was in UNICODE). I hacked out all the strings
for languages I wasn't interested in and
the whole thing shrunk down to around 47K after I stored it as text
rather than as UNICODE.
After thus fixing up the INF file ndiscvt had no complaint and created a
header file. The make on the
kernel module proceeded without error messages. There is now an
"ndis.ko" file in /boot/kernel.
Since you're using FreeBSD 6.x, make sure you use ndisgen instead of running
ndiscvt manually.
That said, I haven't ever played with amd64 and don't know if ndis is
supported / functional on that platform. Let us know what you find out!
