>Description:
The ndis(4) man page is 12 months out of date - as the method
it describes to create the kernel module using ndiscvt(8) was obsoleted
12 months ago with the addition of ndisgen(8).
The related source changes are in HEAD and RELENG_6, and were MFC'd to
RELENG_5 about 12 months ago, just after the 5.4 fork. Therefore it
would be good to get this change into FreeBSD 5.5 if it's not too late.
