I have tried the ndis. The loadable kernel build sucessfully using the
lan/attansic/ris/winxp_32/l251x86.sys/inf file from the DVD.

The module kernel build successfully and give :

ndis0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        ether 00:1e:8c:bc:9f:7a
        media: Ethernet autoselect
        status: no carrier

The /var/log/messages say :

Could you post your patch, I'm interessted to give a try !

The most annoying think is the Fn+F5 (switch from lcd to the VGA port)
which doesn't work. It's the only reason I don't swith from xandros to
FreeBSD on my machine (I actually use a bootable usb key for my
trials). Any idea to debug this problem ?
