Thanks for this. My mistake I have got this far
 We will now use the ndiscvt utility to create the driver definition
headerndis_driver_data.hto build the module:

# *ndiscvt -i W32DRIVER.INF -s W32DRIVER.SYS -o ndis_driver_data.h*

The -i and -s options specify the configuration and binary files,=20
respectively. We use the -o ndis_driver_data.h option because the
Makefilewill be looking for this file when it comes time to build the
module.

* Note: *Some Windows drivers require additional files to operate. You may=
=20
include them with ndiscvt by using the -f option. Consult the ndiscvt(8)=20
manual page for more information.

Finally, we can build and install the driver module:

# *make && make install*

This is the point at which it breaks...
