i changed the mac addr to get access to a private network which worked
with ACLs based on mac addresses ;-) - but this has nothing to do with
the panic. the panic occurs when running dhclient whether i did some
ifconfig stuff or not ...

no "link up" sorry :( ... the only output i got is the one u can see at
the end of my dmesg output

i can reproduce the panic by executing the following commands:

$ # make sure to have everything in sync
$ cd /sys/modules/ndis 
$ make clean ; make ; make load
$ cd /sys/modules/if_ndis
$ ndiscvt -i w70n51.inf -s w70s51.sys -o ndis_driver_data.h
$ make clean ; make ; make load
$ dhclient ndis0
