Same here for Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card. AFAIK, some new functions (mentioned in the dmesg as no matches) are added in drivers that ndis wrapper doesn't understand. Linux people solve this by upgrading their ndisulator, I did it fetching older driver - R112196.EXE . Now it works fine and without an issue for two weeks already. You can find it at http://ftp.dell.com/network/R112196.EXE or my copy at ftp://styx.aic.net/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/R112196.EXE . There was also thread in archives about implementing the functions in ndis wrapper, but I found nothing about success.
