All I have done was by the instructions for ndisgen. First I recompiled kernel to be sure that the wireless support is included. Then copy original Windows drivers for wireless card in some directory. To cut the story, just run #ndisgen if you are runnig FreeBsd 6 or higher. Then you'll find all explanations you need on how to recompile Windows drivers for use in BSD. It will generate kernel modules. Copy it to /boot/kernel and load with #kldload name_of_the_file.ko. Be sure to have a firmware for the card too.Load it all. After it you should see your device using ifconfig like ndis0. Use FreeBSD manual to configure your card for wireless network. Cards that are suported for sure are the one with Prism chipset.
