I noticed that the if_ndis.ko was half smaller and there was not any reference to my NIC anymore. After a few search I noticed that ndisgen is a tool able to generate a specific loadable module based on .inf and .sys. So I used ndisgen, copied the generated ko to /boot/kernel and manually kldload it : my NIC was back. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a good resource about the correct procedure to generate the module but I have a bigger problem than this one at the moment :( Hope that helps. Phil.
