The broadcom-sta driver doesn't support it? I've always had good luck with it. In gentoo, anyway. In binary-only distros where you can't configure the kernel to its needs, it's broken more often than not. (It's weird how that ended up; I tried the fancy detect-everything-for-you distro, Ubuntu, and very little except graphics worked. It couldn't even turn the laptop off. Gentoo worked with most things first try, and things that didn't, could be fixed.)

NDIS(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual NDIS(4)
NAME
ndis -- NDIS miniport driver wrapper
SYNOPSIS
options NDISAPI
device ndis
device wlan
DESCRIPTION
The ndis driver is a wrapper designed to allow binary Windows(R) NDIS miniport network drivers to be used with FreeBSD. The ndis driver is
provided in source code form and must be combined with the Windows(R) driver supplied with your network adapter. The ndis driver uses the
ndisapi kernel subsystem to relocate and link the Windows(R) binary so that it can be used in conjunction with native code. The ndisapi sub-
system provides an interface between the NDIS API and the FreeBSD networking infrastructure. The Windows(R) driver is essentially fooled
into thinking it is running on Windows(R). Note that this means the ndis driver is only useful on x86 machines.
To build a functional driver, the user must have a copy of the driver distribution media for his or her card. From this distribution, the
user must extract two files: the .SYS file containing the driver binary code, and its companion .INF file, which contains the definitions for
driver-specific registry keys and other installation data such as device identifiers. These two files can be converted into a kernel module
file using the ndisgen(8) utility. This file contains a binary image of the driver plus registry key data. When the ndis driver loads, it
will create sysctl(3) nodes for each registry key extracted from the .INF file.
The ndis driver is designed to support mainly Ethernet and wireless network devices with PCI, PCMCIA and USB bus attachments. (Cardbus
devices are also supported as a subset of PCI.) It can support many different media types and speeds. One limitation however, is that there
is no consistent way to learn if an Ethernet device is operating in full or half duplex mode. The NDIS API allows for a generic means for
determining link state and speed, but not the duplex setting. There may be driver-specific registry keys to control the media setting which
can be configured via the sysctl(8) command.
DIAGNOSTICS
ndis%d: watchdog timeout A packet was queued for transmission and a transmit command was issued, however the device failed to acknowledge
the transmission before a timeout expired.
