Hi folks,
I just upgraded one of my amd64 boxes from HEAD as of around March to
HEAD as of this morning CEST and my ndis(4) card no longer works
although I modified rc.conf as suggested (added wlans_ndis0="wlan0"
and changed ifconfig_ndis0 to ifconfig_wlan0).

The card doesn't seem to associate, or, better said, the wlan0
interface doesn't seem to associate, because the ndis0 interface says
it is associated: (output copied by hand)
#ifconfig ndis0
ndis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290
	ether 00:0c:41:xx:xx:xx
	media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g
	status: associated
#ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=8c43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
	ether 00:0c:41:xx:xx:xx
	inet6 fe80::20:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx%wlan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x8
	media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect)
	status: no carrier
	ssid ambassador channel 1 (2412 Mhz 11g)
	country US authmode open privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit
	txpower 0 bmiss 7 mcastrate 6 mgmtrate 6 scanvalid 60 protmode CTS
	bintval 0

My wireless lan is on channel 6, so I though there could be problems
with scanning, but..
#ifconfig wlan0 channel 6
doesn't print any error message but the output of ifconfig wlan0 is the
same, with channel 1.

Any hints?
Thanks in advance and
best regards
