    I have a -current from 2004.05.27.14.30.00 (because of this ACPI stuff
    breaking by bfe card :) but I can't load if_ndis anymore..

    If I use ndiscvt to build an include file from the Win2k driver (W70N5.*) I get..
    link_elf: symbol ndis_set_info undefined

    [inchoate 14:49] /usr/src/sys/modules/ndis >objdump -x ndis.ko |grep ndis_set_info
    000090c8 l F .text 0000016c ndis_set_info

    [inchoate 14:49] /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis >objdump -x if_ndis.ko |grep ndis_set_info
    00000000 *UND* 00000000 ndis_set_info

    If I use the XP driver (W70N51.INF) it works.
    pci0: Failed to set ACPI power state D3 on (null): AE_BAD_PARAMETER
    ndis0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3A Mini PCI Adapter> mem 0xfaffc000-0xfaffcfff irq 11 at device 3.0 on pci2
    ndis0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
    ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1
    ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:04:23:a4:12:74
    ndis0: 11b rates: 11Mbps 2Mbps 1Mbps

    It's for a Intel Centrino Pro 2100 mini PCI adapter, the driver comes
    from Dell. Hmm, I had a link that pointed to it but it isn't valid and
    I can no longer find the actual driver on their web pages (only the user
    guide). I've put them at http://www.gsoft.com.au/~doconnor/Centrino-2100-NDIS.tgz
