Ok,

i run -CURRENT as of less than hour.
kernel config and dmesg on : http://www.totalterror.net/freebsd/

i'm using an openbsd 3.4-stable with Linksys wmp11 (prism2.5 ISL3874A,
firmware 1.0.5 pri, 1.3.1 station) as AP. 
i'm also preloading ndis.ko in loader.conf
the windows driver files are w70n51.inf and w70n51.sys, 
and also are available on the above URL

after the buidlworld/buildkernel/installkernel/reboot/installworld/reboot 
i do:

# cd /sys/modules/if_ndis
# make clean
# ndiscvt -s w70n51.sys -i w70n51.inf -o ndis_driver_data.h
# make
# make load
/sbin/kldload -v /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis/if_ndis.ko

ndis0: set filter failed: 6

ndis0: link up

after this i have a few seconds before total freeze,
but it seems like any network activity is freezing the machine immediately.
if i ping it from other machine, it responds exactly to one ping, and then 
dies.

p.s.:
sorry for the lack of information in my previous post, but i was under the 
impression that the problem is well known, and i was just reporting that it 
is still not working after the last change.
i hope that this info will help.
