My notebook has a Dell Wireless 1930 WLAN nic and I was able to convert 
the driver for my wireless card using ndisgen. It created a kernel 
called bcmwl5_sys.ko in the /root folder. I entered:

# kldload bcmwl5_sys.ko

Then I entered:

# kldload ndis
# kldload if_ndis

However, when I enter:

# dmesg

No sign of the wireless nic appears. When I enter:

# kldstat

The bcmwl5_sys,ko, if_ndis.ko and ndis.ko modules come up as loaded, 
along with the kernel. Does this mean that the coverted drivers are not 
working on my machine? Or is there something else I need to do?
