>Description:
      kldload W70n51_sys works to load the Intel 2100 802.11b driver, but
the console session never returns from that command.  Other sessions have
access to the ndis0 device, and it seems to be able to access WAPs.  Problem
is identical on 5-STABLE and 6-STABLE, seems to have started with the switch
to ndisgen; the previous method of creating NDIS drivers didn't have this
problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
      Use ndisgen to create the W70n51_sys.ko file from W70N51.INF and
W70n51.sys.  Copy W70n51_sys.ko to /boot/kernel.  kldload W70n51_sys and
notice that console prompt never comes back.  Switch to another console
and verify ndis0 is available.  Try ifconfig ndis0 up and down a couple
of times until that console no longer responds.

 As of 6.0-Stable on 2005-11-16, the NDIS driver with the Intel 2100 card 
 works properly again on a Thinkpad T42.  This PR can be closed.
