well, I am not so sure if ndis is available for amd64 ...

anyway, I have a bunch of Acer NBs which all use all day long the broadcom 
device with ndis driver

look how it works well and stable:

compile your kernel with aditional

     options 	NDISAPI
     device 	ndis

you need device wlan also but should be the default already

then convert the dirver executing ndisgen and follow the instructions
copy the new module bcmwl5_sys.ko into /boot/kernel or /boot/modules


then load the bcmwl5_sys.ko 

kldload bcmwl5_sys

and you should see the ndis0 interface when calling ifconfig

so set the ssid and IP on it and ready to go, something like this should work

ifconfig ndis0 200.1.1.10/28 ssid your_ssid up

ifconfig ndis0 scan
or 
ifconfig ndis0 list ap 

should show available APs
