I'm surprised you can have ndis(4) load during boot.  Recent machines I
tried to do that have panic'd during boot.

I have these lines in /boot/loader.conf and if_ndis and ndis(4) based driver load fine:
ndis_load="YES"
if_ndis_load="YES"
bcmwl5_sys_load="YES"


Can you try creating a crontab entry to load ndis(4) post-boot?

     # start ndis(4) post-boot
     @reboot root    /sbin/kldload /boot/kernel/if_ndis.ko >/dev/null 2>&1

Something similar to that worked for me to get the device to work close
to boot time, without panic.  Once loaded, wpa_supplicant(8) worked
fine.

Please also see:

which I would would be MFC'd already...

What you are suggesting is for the case when loading if_ndis causes panic during boot. In my case it loads fine during boot, but it's not clear why '/etc/rc.d/netif' doesn't activate it.
network works fine once all commands are run manually.
