CFT: ndis(4) testers needed!

I have tried to use ndis before, but never successfully.  I used custom kernel, but src tree was not patched.

Do I have to build a separate kernel without rsu to test ndis, or is disabling at loader good enough?

set hint.rsu.0.disabled="1"

Then would the device name be ndis0, or rtl8192su0, or without the 0, or something else?

Would I have to run ndisgen again?  Or did the presence of rsu in kernel have no effect on building the module?

I might also want to test on FreeBSD-current i386.

Which MS-Windows version should I prefer between 2000, XP, Vista and 7?  My fallible inclination is toward XP.
