Nope, the V2 card is not in Stable as of yesterday.
You can probably get it working by adding the following into
/etc/pccard.conf:
# SMC's 2632W-V2
card "SMC" "2632W-V2"
config auto "wi" ? 0x10000
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start
remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop
I can't promise that this will work, but it's likely.
If this does not work, send a message to freebsd-mobile about it. The
folks who maintain this software hang out there and are likely to KNOW
if it will work and exactly how to do it.
