Convert Windows driver via ndisgen

Apparently, FreeBSD does not have a driver for a Linksys WUSB600N
network adapter. I was thinking of using the ndisgen utility to create
a driver via the WinXP version. I have three questions.
1) The WinXP driver was for an x386 machine. I have a FreeBSD-8/amd64
PC. From man NDIS(4):
"Note that this means the ndis driver is only useful on x86 machines."
Am I therefore to assume that even if I do convert the Windows Driver
to FreeBSD form, it will not work?
2) If I do successfully extract the driver, is there any way that I can
have it compiled directly into the kernel as opposed to having it
loaded via kldload?
3) Is there any list that I could contact to request a driver for this
device. Since I have the device, I would be happy to work with someone
who actually knows how to write a drive since I don't posess those
skills.
