Hello,

Trying to get wireless networking on my notebook, i tried the NDISulator.

After copying the configuration and binary files to the corresponding
path at /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis, i created the driver definition
header using ndiscvt(8).  Then, i have build and install the driver module
without problem: if_ndis.ko is copied to /boot/kernel and kldxref -v seems
happy (kldxref: /boot/kernel/if_ndis.ko: 488 REL entries).

But, if i can load the NDIS driver wrapper correctly (using kldload ndis),
loading the network interface seems more problematic:
 # kldload if_ndis
 kldload: can't load if_ndis: No such file or directory

Here is the kernel message:
 # tail -1 /var/log/messages
 Apr 16 15:05:46 boboche kernel: link_elf: symbol windrv_load undefined

I tried this with the two available Windows versions for this wireless
network module: win98/2k and winxp... without much success.

Any clue or advice to get it loading/working?  Thanks.
