In 6.1 you do not need to recompile the kernel. You can load the drivers.
kldstat will tell you what you have loaded. check 'man if_ndis' and/or the
handbook for configuration setting, chipsets, etc.
you can just do:
cd /boot/kernel
kldload wlan.ko
kldload if_ndis.ko
You may need the wep dirver if you are using encryption. After all that works,
you can load by adding to /boot/loader.conf:
if_ndis_load="YES"
wlan_load="YES"
This is just a guide. I have a thinkpad so I am not sure if the above is
complete. In addition to the handbook and the man pages, you can find a lot of
information via Google.
Hope this helps.

I am quite new to FreeBSD. Could you please explain what do you mean
by "recompiled kernel to be sure that the wireless support is
included". Do you mean to create a kernel config with ndis and if_ndis
statically linked into it? I haven't done this one so far.
