I assume you have gooled. There are a number of hits. If you are having 
a specific problem, e.g., xorg picks the wrong driver, or wireless you will get 
better results defining the issue in some detail. You might also look in on 
freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org.

Lastly, if it wireless, I gave up on that and got an airport express. With that 
or a like device you are in business. a bit inconvenient but it works.
