Hi, Yasir,

just vendor ID and similar information dont makes your card to work,
copy/paste from freebsd drivers dont works also. There are many things
to change, to make it work.
To let recognize your card to NetBSd you can put vendor and product id,'s=
=20
but card will not work, "not configured" because of missing drivers.
If this card have similar chipset to other which NetBSD have drivers
I think there is not much work to make it working, but if chipset is new
then.. :)

--=20
Sincerely,
Simas Mockevicius
