Ndis SMC2835W (prism54) no go with 6.0-beta5 but ok with 5.4

I have a laptop (IBM 390X) with a PCMCIA (cardbus) wlan card.
This is a version 1 SMC2835W (the full mac version) that uses the
Intersil 3890 chipset. Also known as prism gt.
This card has no native driver in FreeBSD.
Well, this may not be exactly true as someone (bfeldman?) used the
linux driver to create a freebsd driver (if_pff) but that will not
compile on 6.0 and I never tried it on 5.x I have to admit.

On FreeBSD 5.3, 5.4 it works with the ndis driver (project evil).
I used ndiscvt to convert the driver and the firmware and this works
quite nicely. From dmesg:

---------------------------------

However, on 6.0 (tried b3 and b5) the driver will not load.
This is the Win XP driver (API 5.1) whereas on 5.4 the Win 2k driver
was used (API 5.0). On 6.0 the driver was converted with 'ndisgen'
(smc2835.sys, smc2835wnic.inf and firmware smc2835w.arm).

Does anyone have any hint, clue or solution ;-) ?
