Hi,

I have performed upgrade on my IBM T41 from RELENG_5_3 to RELENG_6 today 
(I've been delaying that upgrade for some time...). Went moreless 
smooth, but ndis0 stopped working (panic when trying to assiociate with 
access point).

Long story made short: this patch makes ndis working again for me (I'm 
sending this message from the upgraded laptop, which proves my point 
well enough I guess ;)

                 len = 65536;


I think I have spotted obvious commit mistake, since log message for 
rev. 1.114 is clear about what is done here ("if using a length of 0 
yields anything besides the expected error case, we arbitrarily assume a 
length of 64K").
