You can still use ndiscvt, but then your .inf file needs to in the correct format for ndiscvt to parse. It's documented in the ndisgen.8 man page, it was also mentioned on the -CURRENT mailing lists at that time, and -STABLE mailing list in May 2005 when it was MFC'd. As to why your driver is panicing, I have no idea. As my Broadcom NDIS module (bcmwl564_sys.ko) doesn't cause the system to panic.
