If your kernel recognizes the device, it should show up in your dmesg. For NDIS help, try man ndis.

Have you tried comparing the files (with diff or similar) to see if they are simply copies of each other? In the cases I've seen, the driver installer at least keeps copies of the .sys and the .inf file in a directory together. After installation in a Microsoft file system that may of course no longer be the case. -- Peter N. M.
