Hello...

Please check the following post:

If FreeBSD is not able to recognize this Wireless NIC then you may need to use the Windows NDIS drivers for it.

The FreeBSD handbook will tell you how to create the proper Kernel Loadable Module from Windows NDIS driver files. See section: 11.8.1.1 Using Windows® NDIS Drivers
