Hello Jean-Pierre,
Sorry it took me a while to test the new version, here goes:

Hi,
I have uploaded the source code of a new beta version of
the Windows Wireless emulator on :
http://jp-andre.pagesperso-orange.fr/ndis.1.3.beta6.tar.gz
I gave this a shot and it builds on my box with gcc-4.4.4-il now,
although with several warnings. Linked with the older bcmwl drivers
(which you use for your card) the NDIS driver even loads cleanly,
That is a significant progress.
both with your ndisapi and with a freshly-built one. However, as
before, this driver version does not support my own card.
Other bcmwl* drivers that I tried to feed it, that are supposed
to support my card, did not modload, due to not finding several
symbols (below). One driver did not get processed into a driver.s
file (though it did before, when I tried with stock gcc-3.4.3).
I can't say if it was GCC's fault, or if you changed something in
ndiscvt to such effect, but the curious fact is there.
I did make changes to ndiscvt and I improved a few checks,
but I am not aware of any regression.
One driver's missing symbols:

These missing symbols are functions provided by Windows
and needed by the driver, but which are not emulated by ndis.
I have not enough knowledge to emulate the WMI ones.
Another one's are different:

These missing ones are easier to emulate, though I am not
sure whether reading a file is allowed within an OpenIndiana
driver. The required file may have to be linked to the driver
at the building stage.
Can you please where I can get this driver from, so that
I can try myself ?
I did not yet dig any further, i.e. if there is anywhere to snatch
implementations from (BSD?) With misbehaving gani/rge and missing
wifi, my notebook is essentially without networking when booted in
OI, at least for most of the boots. Rarely the wired net happens to
work, most often it does not. So it is not very easy to test such
things out and try to get code from internet ;)
I know this too well : I have three computers.
On the first one, OpenIndiana cannot boot (some problem related
to the BIOS),
on the second one, OpenIndiana cannot access the internal drive,
on the third one, I had no network access until recently.
And no much hope for improvements...

Jean-Pierre
