Do you mean by vendors, or do you mean for FreeBSD drivers?

I believe several of the 802.11b drivers work with 802.11a
devices, and there was at least one 802.11a specific driver
that was posted about (check the -current archives).

As far as vendors go, there's not a lot of progress.  It's
rather like BlueTooth: IBM pushes the heck out of it, but
neglects to build it into the ThinkPad laptops, the Palm
PDAs, or the Lexmark printers that it itself manufactures.

It's a good idea -- for everyone else to do first -- it seems.
