ndis is part of the base FreeBSD, not a port. If you run 9.0, 9-stable
or 8-stable, it's part of the OS. The patch was to fix a potential
panic, so unless te ndis module was crashing your system, it's not
going to help. It is quite possible that getting the latest ndis
sources for the main version of FreeBSD you are running from cvs or
svn, but version mis-match in the kernel could cause it to fail either
to compile or work.

This a a rather new device from Realtek. I don't think that there are
any "old" drivers. We have lots of drivers for wired Realtek drivers
in FreeBSD, but no wireless drivers that I am aware of.
