Description Robert Bonomi 2012-09-11 02:30:03 UTC 
Two 'if' blocks, one at lines 562-569, and the other at lines 1083-1084, in
sys/dev/if_ndis/if_ndis.c  are RUN-TIME tests for PCMCIA/PC-Card/CARDBUS
hardware, and reference routines that exist only in the 'device pccard'
support modules.  Kernel linking fails if 'device pccard' is not included,
even if the machine has no pccard hardware.

Fix: 

bracket each of the 'if ()' blocks identified above with *COMPILE-TIME*
'#if' or '#ifdef' conditionals on 'something' that is set only if 'device pccard' 
is in the config file.
How-To-Repeat: attempt to compile a kernel with
    option NDISAPI
    device ndis
    device wlan
and WITHOUT
    device pcard

observe the linker failure.

Comment 3 Eugene Grosbein freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-01-03 10:26:25 UTC 
This is still the problem for stable/11: if_ndis calls functions ndis_alloc_amem/ndis_free_amem from if_ndis_pccard without compile-time checks whether device pccard's included or not.
