I'm using the ndis driver to drive a Dell True Mobile 1400 card.  It's
right nearby the FreeBSD access point, but the freebsd access point
only sees it as running at 2 megabit.  The output of wicontrol -l
might be telling:

                  [ 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 ]  [ 11 ]  [ 32 32  0 ]    1  [ ess ]  
                  [ 1b 2b 5.5b 11b ]  
                  [ 00:05:5d:ee:e6:e7 ]  [ 11 ]  [ 45 45  0 ]   10  [ ess shpr shst ]  
                  [ 1b 2b 5.5 11 ]  

The first station is another FreeBSD laptop ... notice that b follows
all the speeds.  The second is the TM 1400 with the ndis driver.  1
and 2 have b's, but 5.5 and 11 don't.

The ndis driver is currently configured in full autoselect mode.  I
can see other modes with ifconfig -m, but setting them sees of no effect.

Dave.
