If it's the USB version, you might find this thread of use to you:
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=318484+0+current/freebsd-current
Add your vendor/product ids to the driver and away you go. (contact me
if you need help doing this)

If however, you have the pc card version of the atmel chipset, you are
somewhat out of luck.  I do intend to do the driver for these cards at
some point, but I have yet to find one which FreeBSD can read properly.

The Prism2 USB however, is currently unsupported, although it should be
a relatively simple task to port the wi driver to the usb chips.
