FWIW, I am having the *exact* same problem starting today. I hadn't updated my STABLE machine since April. NDIS was working fine (save a frew crashes) before I updated last night.. and now NDIS will not even talk about the card. There is also a slight freeze on the machine after the if_ndis module is loaded. I will do some more investigating, but now there's at least two of us. Did you ever find a fix?
