No no, it's 'Hi Bill.' See where it says "Bill Paul" all over the

Apparently the bus_alloc_resource_any() function was added recently in
-current as a replacement for bus_alloc_resource() that uses less
arguments, and _every_ _single_ consumer of the bus_alloc_resource()
API was updated to use it, including the NDISulator. All it does in this
case is break backwards compatibility with 5.2.x though, so I have backed
the changes to the NDISulator code out. Download if_ndis_pccard.c
and if_ndis_pci.c again and recompile, then it should work.
