I added ndis to the kernel and built the kernel module using
http://www.linuxant.com/usr11gv40q.zip driver.

However, when I load the module:

# kldstat -vn usr*
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 2    1 0xc216c000 3d000    usr11g_sys.ko
        Contains modules:
                Id Name
                180 pci/usr11g_sys
                181 cardbus/usr11g_sys
                182 pccard/usr11g_sys
                183 uhub/usr11g_sys
# 

I get errors. From dmesg:

cardbus1: Expecting link target, got 0xed
cardbus1: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=2000
cardbus1: Resource not specified in CIS: id=14, size=20000
ndis0: <U.S. Robotics 802.11g Wireless Turbo Adapter> mem 0x88020000-0x88021fff,0x88000000-0x8801ffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on cardbus1
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1
ndis0: init handler failed
device_attach: ndis0 attach returned 6


What am I doing wrong?
