This means that I managed to get a kernel to compile with an NDIS driver for 
the NIC but I would get a kernel crash on bootup somewhere in the windows 
binary driver. A particular MSCALL to a function called "initfunc" within 
the binary driver causes the crash (I think this is the first time any code 
within the binary driver is called). I tried a number of different drivers 
(XP, 2000, different driver versions...) and they all did the same thing.

I would be interested to know about other users experiences with NDIS.
