     Thanks much for your reply.  Your suggestion seemed to do what I wanted,
but unfortunately, it gave me a kernel panic 14 seconds into the boot/startup
process.  Maybe I'll just stick the kldload command into /etc/rc.local or
some such thing.
     I'd still like to hear from anyone who knows why the "make depend" before
kernel compilation fails.  (See my original posting above.)
     Also, FWIW, I still haven't figured out how to get ndis to work for the
Dell (Broadcom) 1450 Dual-band Wireless LAN card.  I've posted the problem
twice on freebsd-questions and once here, along with the error messages that
result, but have gotten no useful replies.  I suppose I'll have to try the
freebsd-net list next.
