With ndiscvt, it was possible to build a working ndis module for my 
Thinkpad T42 with Intel 2100 802.11b card.

Now, ndisgen has been merged into 5-STABLE, and ndisgen runs and reports 
"conversion successful."  It builds W70N51_SYS.ko (and .o) in the 
current directory.

Copying W70N51_SYS.ko to /boot/kernel and the kldloading that file 
results in an almost-working setup.  kldload never exits, but ndis0 does 
show up in ifconfig.

It even works, until a program tries to down the interface.  Then it 
never exits, either.

This is on 5-STABLE as of yesterday.  Any suggestions?
