My HP dv9000 uses the same broadcom chip, but unfortunately it has a 
wifi on/off switch.
Under XP the broadcom chip is correctly activated and the wifi led turns 
blue.
However under FreeBSD + NDIS, the led is always red and the chip is 
never properly activated.

# kldstat
Id Refs Address            Size     Name
  1    9 0xffffffff80100000 965008   kernel
  2    1 0xffffffffa7283000 84f20    bcmwl564_sys.ko
  3    1 0xffffffffa7308000 71aa     if_ndis.ko
  4    2 0xffffffffa7310000 115a4    ndis.ko

# ifconfig ndis0
ifconfig: interface ndis0 does not exist

I highly doubt it, but perhaps the new driver could solve this? Please 
let me know if you're able to fix both memory functions and I'll give it 
a try.

Btw, I'm running FreeBSD 6.2/amd64.
