I have tried using the w29n50.sys file instead of w29n51.sys. It seems that the NDIS wrapper has some trouble with NDIS 5.1 drivers.
However it works sometimes. When I kldload the driver I get this: no match for MmMapIoSpace no match for MmUnmapIoSpace no match for InterlockedExchange ndis0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection> mem 0xfe8fe000-0xfe8fefff irq 18 at device 5.0 on pci1 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0 ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:0e:35:40:56:24 ndis0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps ndis0: 11g rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps (And everything works fine... however...) But sometimes I get this: no match for MmMapIoSpace no match for MmUnmapIoSpace no match for InterlockedExchange ndis0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection> mem 0xfe8fe000-0xfe8fefff irq 18 at device 5.0 on pci1 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.0 ndis0: NDIS ERROR: c000138d (unknown error) ndis0: NDIS NUMERRORS: 0 ndis0: init handler failed device_attach: ndis0 attach returned 6 And sometimes I get kernel panic. If I add the driver to loader.conf I always get ndis0 attach returned 6. Just FYI...
