WiFi - doesn't work, you're going to run a VM with linux and pass Wi-Fi device there or deal with 802.11g speed if card even works at all.

GPU - if you're okay with Nvidia blob, then it's all good. If not, then I hope you're okay with RX580 era AMD.

Bluetooth...I don't think people in community know what it is because stack was broken for probably a decade.

Consumer NICs sometimes don't work out of the box.

It's very unfriendly for consumer, which is what I liked, but at one point I had enough and switched to Linux. Still running FreeBSD on home server, tho because i'm too lazy to switch it...

Have you tried iwlwifi?

Yes, it works exactly like I've described:

While iwlwifi supports all 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax the compatibility code currently only supports 802.11 a/b/g modes. Support for 802.11 n/ac is to come. 802.11ax and 6Ghz support are planned.

We will get wider IPv6 adoption before 802.11n works on FreeBSD in stable way.

You can use WifiBox[1], being a user of FreeBSD myself (Laptop, Workstation and many servers) it would be nice to have "native" ac/ax.

Yes, I've mentioned that solution. It isn't really "FreeBSD support wireless" if I have to run a VM for it, is it?

Ah, my bad -- I misread the 'or' as 'and'. Agreed, lack of n/ac/ax has been an issue! Especially when cloning large repos I didn't realize how much I take >500mbps on wifi for granted.
