I have this card. Try to load installed driver do not found any
avaliable cards then probe.

I copy bcmwl5.sys bcmwl5.ini(ascii) bcm43xx.cat to /tmp/bmcwl
in /tmp/bcmwl i have this Makefile
.PATH: /tmp /usr/share/misc
windrv: 
        /usr/sbin/ndiscvt -O -i bcmwl5.inf -s bcmwl5.sys -n bcmwl5 -o windrv.h
        /usr/sbin/ndiscvt -f bcm43xx.cat
        echo > bus_if.h
        echo > device_if.h

KMOD=bcmwl5
SRCS=windrv_stub.c windrv.h bus_if.h device_if.h
OBJS+=bcm43xx.cat.o windrv.o
CFLAGS+= \
  -DDRV_DATA_START=bcmwl5_sys_drv_data_start \
  -DDRV_NAME=bcmwl5 \
  -DDRV_DATA_END=bcmwl5_sys_drv_data_end
CLEANFILES+= bcmwl5.h windrv.h bcm43xx.cat.ko

.include <bsd.kmod.mk>

#mv /boot/kernel/bcmwl5.ko /tmp
#make windrv
#make depend
#make
#make install clean cleandir
#kldunload bcmwl5
#kldload bcmwl5
... no more ndis0 interface here :)
#kldunload bcmwl5
#mv /tmp/bcmwl5.ko /boot/kernel/
#kldload bcmwl5
... ndis0 probed, found and attached
#cat ~/ndis0
#!/bin/sh

/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -q -i ndis0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
sleep 3
ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00
route add default 192.168.0.100
#=EOF

#~/ndis0
.. network work fine, but spams to /dev/console
Setting ESSID to "TERRA" ... every second.

may be have change any options to wpa supplicant ?
#cat /etc/wpa_s*
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
 ssid="TERRA"
 bssid=00:11:22:33:44:55
 scan_ssid=1
 mode=0
 key_mgmt=NONE
 wep_key0="1234567890123"
 wep_key1="1234567890123"
 wep_key2="1234567890123"
 wep_key3="1234567890123"
 wep_tx_keyidx=0
}

Then I run wpa_cli
#wpa cli
...
Interactive mode

><2>Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out.
<2>Trying to associate with 00:11:22:33:44:55 (SSID='TERRA' freq=2437
MHz)

this two lines are repeat.

May be, all probles not in driver?
