SPAM from driver was result of wrong configuration wpa_supplicant, but
drivers for Broadcom mini-pci v4.xx instead of 3.xx do not works! Then
kldload called, displays message: "no match for
IoGetDeviceObjectPointer" and AP not discovered, on console present
debug Setting ESSID to "" and in wpa_cli command scan_results
returning nothing.

May be it's can help: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=106131
