I am curious is there an effort in FreeBSD similar to Linux NDISwrapper?

NDISwrapper taked Windows XP binary driver and runs it on Linux.

They add the converter between Linux kernel API and the subset of
Windows kernel API sufficient to run binary driver.

I know that few USB Webcams are supported in the similar way on FreeBSD
recompiling Linux source drivers. Also Mplayer is using similar
approach wrapping around Windows-only binary codecs.

But is these such thing for network cards on FreeBSD?

man ndisgen
