Perhaps I can indirectly help . . . I had a discussion on this list a little while back about the ndis wrapper. Perhaps some of the suggestions made to me by folks who have had success with it will help you. It looks as though you did some (if not all) of the things that I did, which were commented on in the discussion. My patience wore too thin for me to fully work it out, but perhaps you're a better man than I. http://freebsd.monkey.org/freebsd-questions/200901/msg00435.html One thing that may not be mentioned in the above the thread is that you may have to try different .inf and .sys files until you get one that works . . . that consumed most of the little patience that I had.
