I've recently finished upgrading Haiku to FreeBSD 12 net80211 and
drivers. I don't have any major plans at the moment personally, but
some things you might want to note:

 * there are a variety of iwm patches available in DragonFlyBSD that
haven't yet been merged into FreeBSD
 * general driver stability issues, iwn/ath/iwm at least (mostly
failures to initialize on hardware that is theoretically supported, or
other general timing issues)
 * use-after-free panics in certain scenarios (it seems some of these
should be caught by INVARIANTS, but I've only reproduced them on
Haiku, not on FreeBSD)

Additionally, if you want to keep an eye on Haiku's bugtracker, you
can use this query to see tickets reported just in the "network
drivers" category:
