Hi all,
Some time ago I created a similar topic. But the issue was never resolved.
But now I use FreeBSD 9.0 RC-2
*VAHAGN kernel it is just GENERIC kernel plus options graphic mode in console.
Good men (user: thedonger) sent me a private message. He showed how to use ndisgen. I thank him. And I started to use ndisgen. My howto.
But after running /etc/wifi_up I have:
1. Why wlan0: ... "status: no carrier"?
2. And why my computer auto restarted after 3 - 5 minutes? x(
When I added in /etc/rc.conf.
my computer autoreboots after I run startx. x( (Sometime I use OpenBox). I remove it. But my computer autoreboots again, and again.

Installing FreeBSD 9.0 RC-2
(Broadcom WiFi)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Broadcom WiFi connection problem in Dell Vostro 3500 and FreeBSD 9.x.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating system FreeBSD doesn't has support Broadcom WiFi Wireless 4313
chip. We must use NDISulator technology.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting the Windows Xp driver to Broadcom WiFi.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Visit the official site. Choose a model. Download the driver.
My driver has name: Dell-Wireless WLAN 1501 Half Mini-Card (4313bg).exe
*Don't worry, it is Windows exe file but it is just zip file.
B. Download it driver to /tmp directory. Rename it to DWW4313.exe.
C. Unpack it's.
# mkdir -p DWW4313
# mv DWW4313.exe ./DWW4313/
# cd DWW4313/
# unzip DWW4313.exe
Archive: DWW4313.exe
...
Now we have next files:
# ls
DRIVER_JPN DRIVER_US Setup.exe
DRIVER_ROW DWW4313.exe Version.txt
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compiling a *.sys and if files.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Copy bcmwl5.sys and bcmwl5.inf in /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis/.
# cd /tmp/DWW4313/DRIVER_US/
# cp bcmwl5.inf bcmwl5.sys /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis/
# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/if_ndis/
B. Create *.ko file.
# ndisgen bcmwl5.inf bcmwl5.sys
* Just only clik Enter button.
# ls
Makefile bcmwl5.inf bcmwl5.sys bcmwl5_sys.ko
# cp bcmwl5_sys.ko /boot/modules/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Configure system.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Load needed modules.
# kldload ndis
# kldload bcmwl5_sys
B. Check the state.
# ifconfig ndis0
ndis0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290

* Note
1. Do not use ndis0. Create clone this device, for example:
# ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ndis0
2. Do not use ndis in /boot/loader.conf.
