Default Found the right driver - kernel panic

OK. So, it seems like I was using the wrong driver .inf and .sys. I talked to a guy from Dell who gave me the actual driver. It also included a firmware file: bcm43xx.cat (I'm not 100% positive this is the only firmware file, but probably).

I can finally see ndis0 coming up! But, now I am getting a kernel panic... (my first )

Is it possible that I still did the ndisgen incorrectly? Or is it likely that there's no way to use this card/driver?

Code:
ndis0: <Dell TrueMobile 1300 WLAN Mini-PCI Card> mem 0xd0206000-0xd0207fff irq 18 at device 2.0 on pci2
ndis0: [ITHREAD]
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1

Fatal trap 1: priviledged instruction fault while in kernel mode
