Adding wifi source code

[blubee blubeeme]

Here's a pdf giving a decent overview:
https://www.bsdcan.org/2006/papers/freebsd.device.driver.slides.pdf

But, the FreeBSD handbook also goes over the process as well.

https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/driverbasics.html

For the guy that took Linux drivers, you might want to look into the Linux
Emulator, that would be the easiest path especially if those Linux drivers
includes a lot of Linux specific headers.

The NetBSD drivers should be a bit easier to port.

Best,
Owen
