The "fpudna in kernel mode" messages can be ignored, they don't affect
the operation of the ndis0 driver.  Add ifconfig_ndis0="WPA DHCP" to
/etc/rc.conf, create /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf that is appropriate for
your wireless network(s), then use /etc/rc.d/netif start ndis0 to
connect to your wireless network.

ifconfig doesn't list any wireless networks:
hp010# ifconfig ndis0 list scan

But using wpa_cli does show wireless networks:

hp010# wpa_cli
wpa_cli v0.5.8
