Seems like I'm jumping in a bit late, but for the archives:
I also am using if_ndis for bcmwl5.sys (in a Dell Inspiron 8500).

I have 7.0-beta2, and I see the message:
Setting ESSID to "MIT"
on the console occasionally, but it seems to only be when it loses signal
and has to re-associate.
I get a lousy connection, being at a vertex of the convex hull of my dormitory,
but I don't think that I'm getting spammed with this message.
