ndis issue using RELENG_5

[Bryan Maynard]

I have been having problems with ndis as well and ndisgen wroked brilliantly 
getting the wireless interface up, but now I can't seem to use my device. . .

The output of ifconfig -a is as follows:

xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=9<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
        inet6 fe80::204:76ff:fe48:9301%xl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

        rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS
        wepmode OFF weptxkey 1

I'm sure it's something very simple I'm not doing - I've been using FreeBSD 
for a while and love it, but I'm still rather new :-D

Thanks for your help!

 I had similar issues.  I had always installed ndis using the options in 
 the kernel config file, as recommended by man ndis.  But as of a week 
 ago, it wouldn't even compile.  But ndisgen worked like a charm.
