Intel 5100 agn driver

[Leonardo M. Ramé]

Thanks Glen, I also can build the module with ndisgen, and it doesn't panic, but when I do ifconfig I can't see the ndis0 device. 

However, I found this post on a Linux forum saying they can use the device. I wonder if freebsd can load linux drivers using linuxsulator?.
