freebsd stable - Jul 2007 - DW1390 and Ndis?

Has anyone gotten NDIS to work with a Dell Wireless 1390?  I built the
modules and loaded them..

ndis0: <Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card> mem 0xefdfc000-0xefdfffff irq
16
at device 0.0 on pci11
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1
ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:1a:92:1c:9d:af

And the ndis0 shows up,

ndis0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ether 00:1a:92:1c:9d:af
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect
        status: no carrier
        ssid "" channel 1 (2412) bssid 00:00:00:00:00:00
        authmode OPEN privacy OFF deftxkey UNDEF powersavemode OFF
        powersavesleep 100 txpowmax 100 rtsthreshold 2346 mcastrate 1
        fragthreshold 2346 bmiss 7 -pureg protmode CTS -wme -burst
        roaming AUTO bintval 0

But if I try to bring the card up, and scan, ifconfig returns..

ifconfig: unable to get scan results

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Showing the available wireless networks is currently broken with the
NDIS driver.  If you know the name of the wireless network, you should
be able to set the ssid using ifconfig.

Another option is to add `ifconfig_ndis0="WPA DHCP" ` to /etc/rc.conf,
and then use `/etc/rc.d/netif start ndis0 `, which will run
wpa_supplicant.  Then use wpa_cli (scan, scan_results) to show the
available wireless networks.
