    Bill Paul's excellent NDIS (windowz device driver emulator for 
    wireless/ethernet interfaces), otherwise known as 'Project Evil',
    has been ported to DragonFly.  The work is considered experimental 
    but *something* works because my Centrino laptop (Sony TR3A)'s wireless
    now works.  

    It takes a bit of effort to get a windows device driver compiled in,
    it definitely is not automatic in any way shape or form, but it's
    better then nothing!
    I could not have ported NDIS without Joerg's precursor work on
    the 802_11 infrastructure.  Kudos all around!
Hi , I like to test it with a view pcmcia's and my onboard wifi but I 
seem not to find the ndiscvt anywhere did I miss something?
