I was unable to get Hiro H50191 to work with NDIS, though it worked with rsu in FreeBSD-current.
Also, from my observation, many of the newer wireless chips don't come with .inf and .sys files that would be used by ndisgen or ndiscvt.
I wonder how difficult it is to develop a wireless driver if there is already a driver for Linux or NetBSD.
I figure NetBSD is more closely related to FreeBSD than Linux to FreeBSD, but Linux drivers would be more abundant.
