System Crash when kldload if_ndis

[Matt]

I'm not sure if the problem I am having is with the kernel modules I am 
using (I've tried with two different ones) or with the ndis module 
itself or what. I am running FreeBSD 5.4 amd64 on an Asus A8V-E Deluxe 
motherboard, AMD 64 3000+, 512MB RAM. The ndis drivers I am using are 
for a Marvell 88E8053 gigabit ehternet controller and the onBoard wifi 
controller of the Asus A8V-E Deluxe (i'm not sure what the chipset is).

When using ndiscvt I get the error "section relocation failed". Other 
errors is when I am trying to ndiscvt the marvell driver I get the error:

ndiscvt: line 238: Controlled%: syntax error.

Here are the lines in the inf file:

237: HKR, Ndi\Params\WakeUpModeCap_A\enum,  0,,              %Non%
238: HKR, Ndi\Params\WakeUpModeCap_A\enum,  15,,             %OS Controlled%
239: HKR, Ndi\Params\WakeUpModeCap_A\enum,  25,,             %Magic Packet%

Basically I don't think it likes the spaces, so I went through the whole 
inf deleting the spaces wherever it threw up a syntax error and in the 
end it compiled a kernel module that then crashed the system. I didn't 
get a chance to get the error when it crashed the system.

The wifi driver went through ndiscvt without any problems but when I try 
and kldload the wifi driver I get this error:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address           = 0x96222d5b

current process                 = 472 (kldload)
trap number                     = 12
panic: page fault

Other points to note is that I had to run the marvell .inf file through 
iconv with the -c flag to ignore characters it couldn't convert, this 
could possibly have left out some important data from the inf maybe?

I'll be gratefull for any suggestions
