The problem is that the Broadcom NDIS driver is generating connection
events, but nothing is relaying that information to the wpa_supplicant
daemon.  Since the wpa_supplicant daemon doesn't see a connection
event, it retries connecting

I had created a patch in PR 113915 which solves this problem:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=113915

Give it a try, if it solves your problem submit a followup to the PR.
