FreeBSD's stack already has most features we need, except for mDNS&DHCP

The NDIS wrapper is the devil's gift to open source development.
While it may seem like it solves a problem what it really does is mitigate
the symptoms ("card X doesnt work") while making the root problem
("company X doesnt release chipset API specifications") worse.
Also, it only works on ix86.
The Haiku core should, imho, not include such functionality and it
should be left to distros to add it if they want to.
