I am using the linksys WPC11 b pccard.
I have never had to mess with anything other then putting one line in rc.conf:
ifconfig_ndis0="inet  netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid LINKSYS"

It seems to default to autoselect.

try:
#ifconfig ndis0 inet 192.168.0.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid YOURSSID

I know it might be over simplified, but thats all I do and it defaults to autoselect. 

#ifconfig
...
ndis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.234.23.99 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
        inet6 fe80::20d:41ff:fa41:5d37%ndis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
        ether 00:0d:4f:41:5f:e7
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps)
        status: associated
        ssid PUBLIC 1:PUBLIC
        channel 6 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
        rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS
        wepmode OFF weptxkey 1

Not sure if that is any help or not... let me know.
