ndisgen and ndiscvt doesn't like that the .sys files begins with a number (because o
f the c code generated from it).
Just rename the sys-file and it should work.
 
I posted a small patch for this a while back but it never got anyones attention,    
guess that Bill Paul were too busy.

If you want, you can grab it from
