What version of FreeBSD is this? If it's 8.x, you have to scan with the wlan0 
device.
I've seen lots of weird and nasty things happen when trying to manipulate the 
actual
ndis0 device under 8.

ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ndis0
ifconfig wlan0 up scan

I can't break out of the scan with ^C. It just hangs.

If you break out of the scan (^C), is the machine responsive?  I've
noticed a hang when scanning with my ndis'd 4318, but no problems
otherwise.

ndis driver - freeze on scan

2009-08-17 Thread Eitan Adler
I created an ndis driver for my wireless card and kldloaded it.
When I try
ifconfig ndis0 up scan
my computer just freezes and it does not find any of the 100
(exaggeration) APs around.

This is a broadcom wireless card.
