a fully-functioning Zero 2 W on FreeBSD is the lack of the wireless =

the situation has changed and, if possible, contribute to such work.

https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Raspberry%20Pi does not list
any RPi* has having "WiFi" OK. It explicitly lists
"Unsupported" for each of: RPI 3 / RPi3B+ / RPI 2 1.2 / RPi4 .
As far as I know, no RPi* has ever had support for any
built-in WiFi or the like.

In other words: the normal FreeBSD RPi* type of context.
