James,
I used 10.0.0.1 for the example, as I don't think I can have both interfaces
on the same subnet.

I am using the linksys WPC11 b pccard.
I have never had to mess with anything other then putting one line in
rc.conf:
ifconfig_ndis0="inet netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid LINKSYS"
It seems to default to autoselect.
try:
#ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.0.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid YOURSSID
I know it might be over simplified, but thats all I do and it defaults to
autoselect.
#ifconfig
...
ndis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.234.23.99 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
inet6 fe80::20d:41ff:fa41:5d37%ndis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
ether 00:0d:4f:41:5f:e7
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps)
status: associated
ssid PUBLIC 1:PUBLIC
channel 6 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS
wepmode OFF weptxkey 1
Not sure if that is any help or not... let me know.
