uname -a
FreeBSD slapis 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Fri Aug 26 13:37:08 
CEST 2005 root@slapis:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SLAPIS i386

and i used ndiscvt
    cd /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis
    ndiscvt -i bcmwl5.inf.ascii -s bcmwl5.sys -o dis_driver_data.h
    make && make install

all this worked with no errors.

the "Error occurs when i load it"
    kldload -v if_ndis
     Loaded if_ndis, id=10

Here i would have expected the module to hook up to the card so to speak

    ifconfig ndis0
     ifconfig: interface ndis0 does not exist

please tell me if more information is needed and i will provide it
