Yes ;-)

It really depends on what chipset you've got but there are a few choices
tucked away in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC - start by looking for the
wi driver (which is the one I can remember) and the others will be
nearby.

After that keep going until you get stuck, that's about the stage you
check the handbook then ask -questions :-)
