I would suggest building it as a module as it's much simpler (unless you're=

booting over this interface - which is doubtful)

eg..
cd /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis
cp /tmp/foo.inf /tmp/foo.sys .
ndiscvt -i foo.inf -s foo.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h
make
make install

Make sure your userland and kernel are in sync - ie install world to match=

your new kernel. You may be building against stale headers.
