Hello Guys,

  now im so missed with my wireless settings,
  I tried almost everything everyone has suggested.
  output of kldstat
# kldstat
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
1   20 0xc0400000 69605c   kernel
2    1 0xc0a97000 fa20     if_ath.ko

8    1 0xc6f33000 b000     if_ndis.ko
9    2 0xc6f3e000 13000    ndis.ko

loader.conf has the follow

if_ath_load="YES"

I even tried uploaded the .inf and .sys files and did the
ndiscvt -i W32DRIVER.INF -s W32DRIVER.SYS -o ndis_driver_data.h
then installed the driver module,
nothing isthere!!

I built the kernel with almost all the drivers i saw anywhere.. and still 
ifconfig -a showing
fwe0: flags=108802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT> mtu 1500
        options=8<VLAN_MTU>
        ether 62:3f:02:6c:41:84
        ch 1 dma -1
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

        ether 00:16:d4:01:61:7e

        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

ALso i tried the ndisgen way, to convert, and it built the driver as  
w39n51_sys.ko and i kldloaded

# kldload /usr/home/admin/w39n51_sys.ko
after issuing this command, no devices showedup in ifconfig -a and
this is the result in /var/log/messages

kernel: ndis0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection> mem 
0xd2100000-0xd2100fff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci6
kernel: ndis0: couldn't map memory
kernel: device_attach: ndis0 attach returned 6


There is no wireless devices showing..! :(
Again its HP pavilion dv5178us
the wireless is a builtin, and its Broadcom Corp HP Integrated module.

Im attached a file of my dmesg output,
I wish someone have any solution for this..

Note:
I googled... and found nothing, i eat the words in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.
and there is no case like this:)
