NAME
     ndisgen  --  generate a FreeBSD driver module from a Windows(R) NDIS driver
     distribution

SYNOPSIS
     ndisgen [/path/to/INF /path/to/SYS]

DESCRIPTION
     The ndisgen script uses the ndiscvt(8) utility and other tools to	generate
     a	FreeBSD  loadable  driver  module  and a static ELF object module from a
     Windows(R) NDIS driver, for use with the ndis(4) compatibility module.

     The ndisgen script is interactive and contains its own help  section.   Un-
     less  the	paths to both files are supplied on the command line, the script
     will prompt the user for the .INF and .SYS files  needed  to  generate  the
     FreeBSD  driver  module.	The  script will also prompt for any firmware or
     other external files needed.
