Was it difficult to install the Broadcom drivers? I've been looking into using FreeBSD and given how they're a headache even on Linux, I imagined it was even worse for FreeBSD

Fairly cheap to pickup a USB Wifi dongle (and many of them are almost flush to the port), might be a better bet than a Broadcom internal card (thou no experience of FreeBSD with Broadcom, just a general thought).
Yea I just went with a $20 wifi dongle.
I believe there is no support what so ever for this particular broadcom wifi chip on FreeBSD so I'm using a TP-LINK TL-WN725N instead.
