ndisgen and WPC54G v3, FreeBSD 6.2

Hi, I recently installed FreeBSD 6.2 Release on my notebook. Since
then I have been trying to get my WPC54G v3 to work with it. I used
ndisgen to make kernel module bcmwl5_sys.ko. I loaded it using
kldload. However when I try "dmesg | grep ndis" I don't see anything.
root at notebook# dmesg | grep ndis
root at notebook#
Also when I remove the card and insert it again, the power LED comes
on for a second and then turns off again.
I have seen a post where the person was having the same problem, but
there weren't any replies to his posts. :(
I followed the instructions from this page
http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2006/02/linksys-wpc54g-with-freebsd-yesterday.html
Also in the manual page
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-network-setup.html
it is written that we should use "kldload ndis" and then "kldload
if_ndis", however on FreeBSD 6.2 they are loaded automatically when I
load the bcmwl5_sys.ko. Please have a look at my kldstat.
root at notebook# kldload bcmwl5_sys
root at notebook# kldstat

11 1 0xc5603000 b000 if_ndis.ko
12 2 0xc568d000 13000 ndis.ko
Is it possible that its not working because of those getting loaded
automatically? Or is it because of something else in FreeBSD 6.2.
Also I saw a post about a similar problem but there werent any replies
to that post either. Have a look

I hope someone replies to this one.
Thanks in advance.
