First, I think that the card is based on the PrismII/III chipset.

Second, for GNU/Linux, there is what is called a HostAP driver, for that
chipset which lets any of those supported cards run as both a client and
as an *Access Point*.

I don't know if that software can be compiled and run on FreeBSD, it is
very likely that it can!

This is a starting point for you to research from:

Well, in the case it's based on Hermes chipset, consult
