I'm also using the ndis driver for my Broadcom Wireless adapter, but
I'm not seeing this problem when wpa_supplicant.
The only ESSID messages I see are:
hp010# dmesg | grep ESSID
Setting ESSID to ""
Setting ESSID to ""
Setting ESSID to "TimeMachine"
hp010# uname -a
FreeBSD hp010 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Nov 16 03:09:18
CST 2007 root at hp010:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/GENERIC.debug
amd64
I'm using version 4.40.19.0 of the broadcom ndis driver from:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33008.exe
This file contains both the 32-bit and 64-bit ndis drivers.
Where did you obtain your bcmwl5.sys file from? What version are you using?
