The arrogance of claiming that "wifi doesn't work", implying for everyone, when it's really just _your_ hardware that it doesn't work on.

For me, FreeBSD wifi works straight of the box on the laptop I have.

No, it "works" in that it's 2.4ghz. That is not what most people would expect from speed at this point.

It will "work" correctly when it supports general consumer expectations e.g 5ghz networks, which has been a common complaint about FreeBSD for years now.
