What is 'uname -a'?
I'm surprised you can have ndis(4) load during boot. Recent machines I
tried to do that have panic'd during boot.
Can you try creating a crontab entry to load ndis(4) post-boot?
# start ndis(4) post-boot
@reboot root /sbin/kldload /boot/kernel/if_ndis.ko >/dev/null 2>&1
Something similar to that worked for me to get the device to work close
to boot time, without panic. Once loaded, wpa_supplicant(8) worked
fine.
Please also see:

which I would would be MFC'd already...
