Thanks Daniel  :-)

I took the leap of faith and pulled out the rl0, removed rl0 from my configs and all is well. Now to get my server a WiFi card (I will look for a supported card this time)

The reason I got the OvisLink WL8000 was because I had seen support for OvisLink cards a few days before in the hardware notes, but when I purchased my card I had forgotten that it was normal ethernet cards.

A big thanks to the people that developed ndis, I look forward to doing this all again with ndisgen when 6.0 is released.

Well that's not good :)

Caused by having two network cards in the same machine on the same segment.

Local package initialization: ndis0: not found
ndis0: not found    #repeated 6 times
...

Hmm probably because you don't have ndis loaded at bootup?

Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
default            192.168.0.1        UGS         0      451    rl0

See? Going via rl0.

I suggest you ifconfig rl0 delete otherwise the routing table may indicate
that packets should go via rl0 which is down, hence the error message.
I have just figured out that if I
ifconfig rl0 delete
, then
route add default 192.168.0.1
I can use my wifi card ordinarily, I must be missing something in my
config somewhere.

This is the networking section of my /etc/rc.conf:

network_interfaces=ndis0 rl0              #Just reversed this order now,
it was network_interfaces=rl0 ndis0
ifconfig_ndis0="inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 ssid linksys
channel 11"
defaultrouter="192.168.0.1"
hostname="desktop.jayton.plus.com"
ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.0.3  netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="192.168.0.1"
hostname="desktop.jayton.plus.com"

You can't have 2 network cards on the same segment. Your wireless AP is bridging the wireless network and your wired network so rl0 and ndis0 are on the same segment. Pick one or the other.
