Unfortunately, I don't know what's the reason of this bug, but i have 
found a way to get over it. I had the same problems with my MSI PC11B2 
adapter. try this method, using ndisgen:

ndisgen
   ... here we answer interactive questions and get tnet1130_sys.ko on 
out...
   cp tnet1130_sys.ko /boot/kernel/
   kldload ndis
   kldload if_ndis
   kldload tnet1130_sys

for automatic load write the following into /boot/loader.conf :
ndis_load="YES"
   if_ndis_load="YES"
   tnet1130_sys_load="YES"

this method had helped me, i think it'll work in your case too.
