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...
Did you use ndisgen to build the NDIS bcmwl5_sys.ko kernel module from
the windows driver?
bcmwl5_sys.ko is what you need to load to get your wireless card to
work with the NDIS module.

Here's an interesting data point. I used ndisgen on Windows drivers
from HP, and it produced module BCMWL5_SYS.ko. (my machine is a
Gateway MX6121).
Unfortunately, after loading the module, the device didn't show up in
dmesg or ifconfig. Now I'm wondering if the card isn't ferschimmeled...

One last data point on this;
I downloaded the R102320.EXE driver package from Dell (for the U.S.),
ran ndisgen on the bcmwl5.inf/.sys files, and got a bcmwl5_sys.ko module
that would load, but wouldn't associate.
Just for grins, I also got the R90507.EXE package (non-U.S or Japan),
built the module, which loads, and associates, and works just fine,
thank you very much. As a matter of fact, I'm using it now.
Remember, my laptop is a Gateway MX6121 with a Broadcom BCM94318
mini-PCI card. this is what I see for the card in dmesg;
ndis0: <Dell TrueMobile 1300 WLAN Mini-PCI Card> mem
0xb8004000-0xb8005fff irq 17 at device 4.0 on pci6
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1
Go figure...
