At this point there isn't support for that stuff in FreeBSD, who knows,
maybe some Linux hack is working on it right now. A good alternative
though is WaveLAN, cards can probably be picked up for $100 or so add a
couple antennas,cables,etc you'll probably hit in around $500, not too
bad for a wireless solution that works...

Good luck!
