Does NDISulator work on amd64? Has anyone made this work?

I have a Compac Presario V2607CL notebook with a Turion chip.  I have 
6.1-RELEASE for amd64 loaded.
It is running fine.  But I'm trying toget the built in Broadcom wireless 
working.

I downloaded the driver from hp.com.  The .INF file was over 600K but 
most of that was multiple language
support. (The INF file was in UNICODE).  I hacked out all the strings 
for languages I wasn't interested in and
the whole thing shrunk down to around 47K after I stored it as text 
rather than as UNICODE.

After thus fixing up the INF file ndiscvt had no complaint and created a 
header file.  The make on the
kernel module proceeded without error messages.  There is now an 
"ndis.ko" file in /boot/kernel.

But when I do
  ifconfig ndis0
I get an error message saying that there is no ndis0 interface.  I don't 
know what my next step should be.
