For BCM4318 ndis works :)

It should be grate to have a native driver for freebsd! I just think that 
emulating drivers (windows or linux) will take freebsd into shadow in short  
time!  On my laptop i use ndis driver, and it work just right for i386 and 
amd64 version of freebsd-current, you just need right windows driver!

In this case Linux GPL driver for broadcom wlan is not finished! I try it and 
signal level was poor in just the next room! Freebsd ndis work very good in 
all house! This was my experience, maybe was another problem but this was my 
impression!
