Other sessions have access to the ndis0 device, and it seems to be able to access WAPs. Problem is identical on 5-STABLE and 6-STABLE, seems to have started with the switch to ndisgen; the previous method of creating NDIS drivers didn't have this problem. >How-To-Repeat: Use ndisgen to create the W70n51_sys.ko file from W70N51.INF and W70n51.sys. Copy W70n51_sys.ko to /boot/kernel. kldload W70n51_sys and notice that console prompt never comes back. Switch to another console and verify ndis0 is available. Try ifconfig ndis0 up and down a couple of times until that console no longer responds. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
