> There are no FreeBSD drivers for the included intel 4965AG card. > I've tried to use the ndiswrapper framework without success.

This occurs if the Windows driver contains function calls that have not been implemented in the ndiswrapper framework. Often, an older version of the Windows driver solves the issue. For Broadcom cards that use bcmwl5.sys, kernel crash is a frequent problem if the newer drivers are used, but the old drivers solve the issue. I don't know if the card you mention would even work with ndis, but it's a good first step that ndisgen wizard works. Trying an older version of the Windows driver *might* help, but only if this card is compatible with ndis framework in the first place. Good luck.
