What is FreeBSD?
FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible, DEC Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC architectures. It is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX® developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals. Additional platforms are in various stages of development.

ndisgen
NDISGEN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual NDISGEN(8)
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. Unless 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.
SEE ALSO
ld(1), objcopy(1), ndis(4), kldload(8), ndiscvt(8)
HISTORY
The ndisgen utility first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0.
AUTHORS
The ndisgen utility was written by Bill Paul <wpaul@windriver.com>.
