Well, after trying to fix things I ended up with a system that
wouldn't even boot. So I formatted everything and installed 8.0-RC1
from the DVD.

ndisgen worked fine and I was able to load the module I had generated.
However, wpa_supplicant does not work, and always writes the following
error messages after I try to use /etc/rc.d/netif restart:

Sep 24 01:30:53 borges wpa_supplicant[1689]: Failed to initialize
driver interface
ifconfig: ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR): Invalid argument
ioctl[SIOCG80211, op 98, len 32]: Invalid argument

When I unloaded the ndis, if_ndis and rtl8180_sys modules and tried to
kldload the latter, the kernel panicked again.
