Thanks for the report.

Is this a new message introduced with my changes? I sure hope not!

Typically that message is there because the API functions (in your case
IoGetDeviceObjectPointer) for Win32/Win64 DDK are not completely
implemented in NDIS. Different Win32/Win64 drivers may yield different
"no match for" messages. In my case, I went through about 10 drivers
that had unmatched symbols before I found one that worked flawlessly.

Try one of the NDIS drivers I have posted here:
      * http://www.cokane.org/dokuwiki/freebsd/amd64_compatibility

If you need a 32-bit driver, let me know and I'll send one over (the
ones on my site are all AMD64).
