MSI PC60G PCI WiFi adapter fails to find external firmware.

I'm testing the following build of ReactOS on real hardware.

https://iso.reactos.org/bootcd/reactos-bootcd-0.4.16-dev-1475-g410db43-x86-gcc-lin-dbg.7z

with a MSI PC60G Wireless 11g Turbo G PCI Adapter and the following windows xp driver:

It gives the following error and locks up when installing the driver:

the strange thing about this is the driver contains a internal Wifi firmware. I know this because A. the driver works on windows XP with the driver listed here and it does not contain a external firmware to load.

B. I searched for the the drivers on the chip-set manufacturer site and it has a firmware for this chip-set so i searched for the firmware header and found it in the driver:

using this firmware or extracting the embedded firmware will let ReactOS run a bit longer but eventually will lockup.

Substituting windows 2003 ndis.sys will allow the driver to start without ReactOS locking up but can't be fully tested due to unimplemented functions in ntoskrnl.
