Hello,
I have a dell latitude x300 laptop, with the broadcom BCM4309 mini pci 
wireless card.

I have tried ndising it... first having problems with syntax on line 13, 
and converting from utf into ascii, trying different driver versions etc.

It seems I always get to this point.
where you:
kldload ndis
kldload if_ndis


if i load one, i cannot load the other, says file exists, and my 
wireless card does not show up

I than tried a netgear wireless card, that i have sucessfully ndis'd on 
ubunto on an old compaq laptop..

For the latest example i followed these instructions to the T
http://dannyman.toldme.com/2005/01/05/freebsd-howto-ndisulate-windows-drivers/

but same problem
and no ndis showing up in dmesg or ifconfig


am I missing somthing?
do i need to enable somthing in my kernal, or disable acpi?

any clues?

I've read about there being a million different broadcom drivers,.. but 
i couldnt even get it to work on my netgear,
