Hi Dimiter,
Thank you for your attention, unfortunately the
problem seems somewhere else;
Here below you see the steps I did and my concerns:

### I monitor var/log/messages...
### I load wlan_web; no entryes (loaded correctly)
### I load nis and I see:
~~~ ~~~ ~~
Oct 17 00:44:45 d-bsd kernel: cbb0: <PCI-CardBus
Bridge> mem 0xc0209500-0xc020a4ff at device 9.0 on
pci5
Oct 17 00:44:45 d-bsd kernel: cardbus3: <CardBus bus>
on cbb0
Oct 17 00:44:45 d-bsd kernel: pccard3: <16-bit PCCard
bus> on cbb0
Oct 17 00:44:45 d-bsd kernel: cbb: Unable to map
IRQ...
Oct 17 00:44:45 d-bsd kernel: device_attach: cbb0
attach returned 12
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
### Should I be worried of the "Unable to map IRQ...
device_attach: cbb0 attach returned 12" I guess so :-(
but I amnot good in pciconf.
### Please, any suggestion is welcome!

### Anyway here is the output of kldstat:
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1   16 0xc0400000 63070c   kernel
 2    1 0xc2457000 15000    linux.ko
 7    1 0xc26f7000 3000     wlan_wep.ko
 8    1 0xc270f000 b000     if_ndis.ko
 9    1 0xc271e000 13000    ndis.ko
~~~ ~~~ ~~~

### Just to be absolutelly sure of the module I could
need I load also wlan_tkip and then bcmwl5_sys.ko (my
driver succesfully converted by ndis) and here are the
new entryes from /var/log/messages:
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
Oct 17 00:51:45 d-bsd kernel: ndis0: <Broadcom
802.11b/g WLAN> mem 0xc0204000-0xc0205fff irq 3 at
device 2.0 on pci5
Oct 17 00:51:45 d-bsd kernel: ndis0: NDIS API version:

Oct 17 00:51:46 d-bsd kernel: ndis0: Ethernet address:

Oct 17 00:51:46 d-bsd kernel: cbb0: <PCI-CardBus

pci5
Oct 17 00:51:46 d-bsd kernel: cardbus4: <CardBus bus>
on cbb0
Oct 17 00:51:46 d-bsd kernel: pccard4: <16-bit PCCard
bus> on cbb0
Oct 17 00:51:46 d-bsd kernel: cbb: Unable to map
IRQ...
Oct 17 00:51:46 d-bsd kernel: device_attach: cbb0
attach returned 12
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
### Again ...the irq issue :-(

### Then I go on and I run:
# ifconfig ndis0 ssid SM-Apt10 authmode shared wepmode
on weptxkey 1 wepkey 1122334ac
### and here is the output of ifcongif ndis0:
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
ndis0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu
1500
	ether 00:14:a5:1c:05:3e
	media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect
	status: no carrier
	ssid "" channel 1
	authmode SHARED privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey
1:104-bit txpowmax 100
	protmode CTS
~~~ ~~~ ~~~

### Here is the new entry into messages after I run
"dhclient ndis0":
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
Oct 17 00:54:43 d-bsd kernel: ndis0: link state
changed to UP
~~~ ~~~ ~~~

### Here is the output of ifconfig ndis0:
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
ndis0:

	authmode SHARED privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey

	protmode CTS

### Here is the messages file growing:
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
Oct 17 00:55:42 d-bsd kernel: ndis0: link state

Oct 17 00:55:43 d-bsd kernel: ndis0: link state

Oct 17 00:56:04 d-bsd kernel: ndis0: link state

Oct 17 00:56:16 d-bsd kernel: ndis0: link state
changed to DOWN
Oct 17 00:56:16 d-bsd kernel: ndis0: link state
changed to UP
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
### And here the scaring output of "ifconfig ndis0
scan": 
SSID            BSSID              CHAN RATE  S:N  
INT CAPS
SM-Apt10        00:04:e2:e9:0c:e8    1   54M 159:0  
100 EP   ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
### Why I have the question marks??
### I should see something like WEP :-(

### Please if you have any idea that can help me ...
### Here are the info I collcted using the same
wireless nic in linux (ndiswrapper)
