Description Robert Bonomi 2012-09-11 01:50:02 UTC 
'device ndis' in the config file requires 'device pccard' -- *not* listed on
the manpage _or_ in 'NOTES' -- in addition to the documented 'options NDISAPI'
and 'device wlan'

Fix: 

update the manpage and NOTES file to include the line:
    REQUIRES   device pcccard.

*OR* fix the device-driver source code.
How-To-Repeat: make a 'minimal' kernel config file for a desktop -- without CARDBUS support
(shouldn't be needed on a machine that doesn't have PCMCIA/PC-Card/Cardbus
slots.   build the kernel successfully.

Now add the required config entries per the ndis(4) manpage.

attempt to build the kernel.

observe the function that fail to resolve.
