Brian,

Standard information required: What version of FreeBSD? If current or
stable, when was the system loaded? What drivers are you loading? (Could
be ndis or iwi plus pci and wlan. wlan_* depending on encryption models
used.)

Without that, it's hard to have much of an idea. The iwi has been a bit
less stable than would be hoped, but it does work for quite a few
people. ndis is not too well documented, but it should work. A pretty
good list of instructions (for a different card) were posted earlier
today with a subject of -NDIS wlan driver trouble, 6.0Beta5, Dell D610,
Broadcom 4320 miniPCI.  Those should get you going in the right
direction should you want to try ndis.
