>Description:
Some drivers (eg Intel Wireless 2100) for Windows 2000 cause ndiscvt to generate a driver which doesn't match any hardware. This patch causes it to generate a error in this case.

>How-To-Repeat:
Use the NDIS5 Intel Wireless 2100 drivers with ndiscvt and try and load the resulting kld - it doesn't attach to anything.
