Solved Are these wifi adapters supported?

I have a TP-LINK TL-WN722N and an Alfa AWUS1900 that I'd like to use for an access point. I currently use the TL-WN722N on Linux for an access point.

I do not see either of these listed as supported here:
https://www.freebsd.org/releases/12.1R/hardware.html

Is that accurate?

If so, it seems my best option (if I want to run an access point), is to purchase a new wireless adapter.
 
Alfa uses Realtek RTL8814AU
TP-Link uses Realtek RTL8812BU and-or RTL8822BU based on searching the linux kernel driver name. The source references a 8188e, though.

None of those are precisely specified as being supported. This driver would be your closest match to maybe working with the TP-Link: rtwn(4) You could maybe try your luck with rsu(4)
 
Thanks - so, I'd know if it'd work as if I load the module (kldload <module>), then do ifconfig -a, I should see the interface show up, right? Or is there another approach? I can see the device via dmesg, but nothing more.
