>Description:
The current ndis(4) man page states this in regard to supported network adapters:

     The ndis driver is designed to support mainly Ethernet and wireless net-
     work devices with PCI and PCMCIA bus attachments.  (Cardbus devices are
     also supported as a subset of PCI.)

This appears to be confusing to a number of users, as witnessed by the amount of questions about getting USB-attached adapters to work.

Also note wrong capitalization of CardBus in the man page.

Ideally, Bill Paul could add a section that details the exact prerequistes a NDIS miniport driver must meet to be compatible.
