As you suspected, I was using ndis-1.2.1 (from the Wireless page) already.  The 
1.2.1 version from palisad.com is different, and that improves things a bit.

PowerTop reports that ndisapi`ntoskrnl_timercall is the source of wakeups 7 - 
20% of the time now, rather than 98% of the time with the "old" 1.2.1 version.

The wireless is still about 25% of what it is under Fedora 10 - but it's 
certainly usable enough to get what I need to get done - plus NWAM isn't going 
crazy anymore.  Looking forward to your next batch of improvements.

In case I missed it, is using NDIS just a stopgap measure for Broadcom wireless 
chipsets, or can we expect to see "native" OpenSolaris drivers in the 
foreseeable future?
