I hope my previous post was somewhat understandable. ....posting at 4:30
isn't such a good idea.
So now it's after 6:00 and I'm replying to myself...
I've managed to get a the driver working. I can ping outside hosts.
What I did was disable everything to do with bge0 in rc.conf and when the
system booted I just did:
dhclient ndis0
(etc/dhclient.conf has: interface "ndis0" { media "ssid 5270-4"; })
and the modules were loaded automatically.
Putting:
ndis_load="YES"
if_ndis_load="YES"
if /boot/loader/conf fails with the following errors in /var/run/dmesg.boot
had:
Preloaded elf kernel "/boot/kernel/kernel" at 0xc0a5d000.
Preloaded elf module "/boot/kernel/if_ndis.ko" at 0xc0a5d1cc.
Preloaded elf module "/boot/kernel/ndis.ko" at 0xc0a5d278.
Preloaded elf module "/boot/kernel/wlan.ko" at 0xc0a5d324.
Preloaded elf module "/boot/kernel/rc4.ko" at 0xc0a5d3d0.
