smc 2602w r3 using if_ndis on 5.2.1

Copying

	src/sys/modules/if_ndis
	src/sys/modules/ndis
	src/sys/compat/ndis
	src/sys/dev/if_ndis

... from a current source-tree to my 5.2.1-box, and compiling using a
ndis_driver_data.h made from the latest driver found on SMC's website
using a ndisctl on my current system, seems to work fine.

kldload-ing ndis also seems to work. But when I kldload if_ndis, the
system freezes. No error messages, no response. A cold boot is the only
thing that seems to fix it.

Is this supposed to work, or am I trying to do the impossible here?
Any hints would be appreciated.

Btw: ndisctl choked on the inf-file, because of a missing newline at the
end. The fact that the syntax error occured on the last line, hinted on a
missing newline, but I think ndisctl should either give a more precise
error message, or preferable just cope with a missing newline.
