    It would have killed you to show us what was on line 13 in bcmwl5.inf
    that made the INF parser in ndiscvt(8) choke?

    Look people: there are a zillion different variants of Broadcom's
    driver software. I don't have them all. Use some common sense here:
    if your particular .inf file makes ndiscvt(8) unhappy, then provide
    me a link to the file so I can figure out why.

    Some .inf files are provided in unicode format. You need to run them
    through iconv to turn them back into ASCII. I have no idea what's
    the matter with this one since you didn't show me the contents.
