[Evil project] / ibm thinkpad t41

   Hello list,

   My kernel jump to ddb whenever i try to load if_ndis.ko. I always
   thought it was the result of a pilot error as others seem to have a
   better mileage than me on this subject, but as i never had any
   success with any kernel i tried, i will gladly welcome any input.

   so, with a today kernel, the usual goat sacrifice and the following
   actions:

   # cd /sys/modules/ndis
   # make; make load
   # cd /sys/modules/if_ndis
   # ndiscvt -i w70n51.inf -s w70n51.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h
   # make; make load

   i get the following (hand copied) ddb output:

pci0: driver added
pci0:31:3: reprobing on driver added
pci1: driver added
pci2: driver added
pci2:2:0: reprobing on driver added

   I can live without it but anyway it would be nice to see my intel
   2100 3B working - if a t41 owner has solved the problem, please let
   me know
