You can also try just restarting the interface. On my laptop, for
example, running FreeBSD 5.3, I re-start the ndis based network
interface thusly:
/etc/rc.d/ndis restart
where that script is:

#!/bin/sh

# KEYWORD: FreeBSD
. /etc/rc.subr
name="ndis"
start_precmd=""
stop_precmd=""
start_cmd="ndis_yastart"
stop_cmd="ndis_yastop"
ndis_yastart()
{
echo "Starting NDIS network driver: "
sysctl dev.ndis.0.SSID="myssid"
ifconfig ndis0 192.168.1.234
route add default 192.168.1.1
echo "Done"
}
ndis_yastop()
{
ifconfig ndis0 down
kldunload if_ndis
killall dhclient
}
load_rc_config $name
run_rc_command "$1"
