Intel 3945ABG with NDIS

[Wesley Morgan]

Has anyone been successful with one of these cards and the ndisulator? I 
can get the wrapper to attach the device, but it won't accept an SSID 
being assigned via ifconfig (or anything else for that matter), and 
wpa_supplicant also fails. I've tried it with both UP and SMP kernels, to 
no avail. My main success has been in panicking my kernel!

According to the ndiswrapper sourceforge project, some people have made 
this work with Linux... However they mention needing to patch your 
kernel 16k stacks, which I do not know how well this applies to FreeBSD.

The relevant kernel messages from loading the module are:

no match for NdisIMCopySendPerPacketInfo
no match for strncat
