Thank you for the response. I'm aware of the ndisgen utility as I tried out the 6-Beta3 release, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere in the 5-stable system I have running. I've cvsup'd the latest 5-stable source about an hour ago to make sure. There's no ndisgen in the source and there's no binary to be found anywhere.
