Does it make a difference if you additionally put the
bssid in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf?

Since I upgraded from RELENG_5 to RELENG_6
I have to use both the ssid and the bssid
to get ndis0 to associate.

I only use wep encryption and don't know if a failed
attempt to associate with wpa_supplicant can cause
a reboot, but it's worth a try.

You should also check if you can associate to
the (unencrypted) network with ifconfig by hand.
