your best bet is to get a card that's natively supported by freebsd. i
have had good luck with d-link 802.11g cards that use the atheros
chipset, but any manufacturer's card(using atheros) should work the
same. these cards are pretty inexpensive, and you'll probably have a
lot better luck with them. you could also get a wireless bridge and
just plug it into your wired network card, but i would rather get the
wireless card. it's a little more flexible, and probably cheaper too.
good luck
