Re: NDIS not compiled

Hello Bill and thanks for your answer.
Anyway i have my Broadcom working (not yet tested with real wireless 
traffic, but it is showing in interface list and i could change it's 
parameters).

I did so, i did not ignore your suggestions because i did not see you 
were suggesting (maybe i miss a very valuable part of your comments, but 
i miss them anyway).
The specific reason why i want to have the driver compiled into the 
kernel - i want to test the driver in the "server environment". Of 
course it is not possible with my notebook, but on the server (IMHO) all 
the constantly used drivers should be comiled into the kernel to 
minimaze the module managment and other module-dependend computing.
For my notebook when it is used as notebook i have nothing against 
building and using modules (even because i'm using my WiFi adapter twice 
a month).

I've read your message and understood it. But did i tell you i have NO 
Intel 2200BG?
Maybe it was stupid to put this option when testing Broadcom but i did 
it just in case.
