I had trouble getting the files out of anoncvs. It kept telling me it couldn't find /home/ncvs/CVSROOT. I just grabbed the files off of WebCVS. A quick compile and kldload and presto! ndis0 is staring me in the face! Thanks for all the help Bill. I know you do a lot of work with ndis/wireless (among other things). FWIW, it's very much appreciated. Cheers! Graham.
