Funny you should ask. A few weeks ago I tested the driver on FreeBSD
6.1, found that it didn't work (nobody had siad that it would work,
either), and sent Damien a mail wirth my findings.
In his reply, he stated that the wpi driver for FreeBSD was developed
for his own personal use, and that he don't plan on any further
development of this driver. He stated that he maintains the driver in
OpenBSD.

AFAIK, nobody has taken up the challenge.

I have searched extensively, but so far haven't been able to find any
success stories about ndis and the 3945.

I would love to get the 3945 t work under FreeBSD.
