I got the impression that the card would be usable for unknown length of time. If it would stop to work & would require a reboot, I would not be surprised. Whatever the state of current driver is, is not available from 13.[0]1-RELEASE images; 12.x-RELEASE might not ever get the support. To test and/or use those changes, you would have to compile and install FreeBSD from source. Source is available via Git repository; need to use either "stable/13" (13-STABLE) or "main" (14-CURRENT) branch. For background and details to compile the OS, including the kernel, see ...
