Today I went to Dell's support site and downloaded the latest driver for their 802.11 draft-n wifi card. I've had the most success with Dell's driver combined with the 64bit FreeBSD NDIS wrapper, despite the fact that I have an HP Compaq notebook. The latest one turned out to be the R151519.EXE archive, which is newer than the last one that I pulled from them. This new one seems to work slightly better in FreeBSD, allowing me to run scan_results from within the wpa_cli utility to get a list of nearby access points. I have posted this new version (replacing the previous one) on my site. I still don't get the support out of ifconfig ndis0 scan that I would like, but I can't complain at the moment.
Now just to get the pesky resource allocation problem of my ATI SB600 HDA Audio to work and I'd have sound on this thing!
Updated: "Quick Links" and "Getting the HP Compaq 6715b Working" sections of my FreeBSD AMD64 Compatibility page.

What driver version you downlod for BCM4328 ?802.11 draft-n is like 820.11g because the true 820.11n will be sell out on 2009. It is true ?
Sorry for missing your post earlier. I downloaded the ”Wireless 1500 Draft 802.11n WLAN mini Card” from Dell, the version is A14, the OEM version is 4.100.15.5 / 4.100.15.8, whatever that means. These numbers were grabbed from the
Version.txtfile contained in the self-extracting archive. This is the “draft n”, so it is not guaranteed to be correct, however it is the proper frequency and modulation I believe. My guess is that any other protocol-level junk will be fixed in later revs of the driver.
