Sorry i don't know anything about 64bit CPU-s, can't help you there,
see if there is an 64bit drievr available from the manufacturer.
Or try working using 32bit mode, of the CPU, i believe that is possible.
About the questionmarks you see from the scan, i don't think they are
problem, since i see them too but the card is working normaly.
put this in you rc.conf
ifconfig_ndis0="DHCP"
reboot and then try to associate to the AP.
Also get your self familier with this chapter from the handbook :
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/advanced-networking.html
See if you are not missing something.
And remember that the Handbook is your best friend.
It is mine ;]
Good luck!
