Thanks! That takes care of the wired connection. Now all I have to do is 
get the wireless to work.

Regarding the original subject line, the "ndis" was, of course, for the 
Broadcom device. I tried a different .inf file after googling some more 
(bcmwl5a.inf), and this time I was able to produce an if_ndis.ko file. I 
loaded both the ndis.ko and if_ndis.ko modules, but got nothing...zip, 
zilch, zero. Nothing in dmesg, nothing in ifconfig...I must still be 
doing something wrong...
