Your suggestion seemed to do what I wanted, but unfortunately, it gave me a kernel panic 14 seconds into the boot/startup process. Maybe I'll just stick the kldload command into /etc/rc.local or some such thing. I'd still like to hear from anyone who knows why the "make depend" before kernel compilation fails. (See my original posting above.) Also, FWIW, I still haven't figured out how to get ndis to work for the Dell (Broadcom) 1450 Dual-band Wireless LAN card. I've posted the problem twice on freebsd-questions and once here, along with the error messages that result, but have gotten no useful replies. I suppose I'll have to try the freebsd-net list next.
