You really did not provide any useful information.

When you load module what is displayed on console?
What is displayed if you change debug.ndis sysctl to 1?

What is your pciconf -lv output for ndis0?

nd...@pci0:16:0:0:  class=0x028000 card=0x1364103c chip=0x431114e4
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card'
class  = network

This isn't going to be much help, but it may add to your relief/dismay
. . . I hope it's the former.

I had enough problems trying to get my Broadcom card (mini-pci -
BCM94306MP)  to work that i gave up and just plug it in. I would get
it installed and it would panic. You seem to have avoided that . . .
good. What .sys and .inf files are you using? From what I understand,
you need/should try a bunch 'til one works.

I wish you the best of luck!

-Neal
