1) NDIS only works with XP drivers.
Can't answer that as I've never needed to try a Vista driver.
AFAIK NDISulator try to mimic that it works on Windows XP and the
driver
depends on the version of NDIS driver that normally it's 5.0 or
5.1. I
know Vista driver uses NDIS 6.x that isn't supported by NDISulator.
Thank you.
2) NDIS only works with 32-bit drivers and wont work on amd64.
False, unless someone has broken it recently. Project Evil has
worked
on 64-bit systems (and *requires* 64-bit drivers on such systems)
since I bought my current laptop ~three years ago.
Yes it should work on amd64. If not it's a regression.
I am reporting back that I have successfully got my MacBook's Broadcom
4328 to work with a bcmwl5 driver from a Dell driver distribution on
amd64 8-CURRENT. The drivers that came with my MacBook were Vista
drivers. A few problems: transfers rarely go over 200kb/s, the system
dead locks when rebooting, I have to manually run dhclient even though
it's set to run in rc.conf, and I get error messages about an
unsupported mode. I don't expect any of these problems to get fixed,
I would just like others to know what to expect.
