Ok, had I read the subject line of your mail fully I'd have known
what driver it was. I'm a dolt and I've clearly had too long of a day.

Here are the problems:

- I don't know exactly what driver image you have. Unless you
  provide the URL for where you got it to put a copy somewhere,
  I can't really analyze it.

- The .inf parser is not perfect. It's actually much stricter
  about syntax than Windows is. Stuff that works ok for Windows
  may be flagged as a syntax error by ndiscvt. If someone wants
  to help fix this, they're welcome to. (No kernel hacking
  required.)

- I have no earthy idea why Marvell is referencing these functions
  in their driver. They're totally outside the NDIS spec. I'd be
  rather surprised that such a driver was able to get WHQL
  certification. (Assuming it did.)

- This is Marvell. Given the rotten treatment I've had from them
  in the past, I'm not inclined to do them any favors now, so I'm
  not exactly inclined to fix this anytime soon.
