Well that's not good :)

Caused by having two network cards in the same machine on the same segment.

Hmm probably because you don't have ndis loaded at bootup?

You can't have 2 network cards on the same segment. Your wireless AP is=20
bridging the wireless network and your wired network so rl0 and ndis0 are o=
n=20
the same segment. Pick one or the other.
