Description Gavin Atkinson 2006-05-13 22:40:23 UTC 
	The instructions at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.html
are wrong with regards to creating an NDIS kernel module under FreeBSD 5.5,
6.0 and later.  The "old" way detailed in the handbook is deprecated and is
not guaranteed to work (and indeed, doesn't, for me...)

Fix: Note that as this is a new laptop, I don't currently have the
infrastructure to compile-test this patch: please check it doesn't break
the build before committing it.
How-To-Repeat: 	Try following the example with the standard Intel 3945ABG driver

I'm currently working on the wireless section and I'll need to work on 
NDIS as well.
