Installation of driver for QCA986x/988x network card

[tvervoort]

I want to apologize right away, I'm completely new to FreeBSD.
I have a Firewall with opnsense installed and want to get my wireless network card going. The card isn't supported out of the box, so I've installed the appropriate modules from freshports.
But now I have no idea how to get the network card to work.

Here is the output for pciconf:

none3@pci0:6:0:0:       class=0x028000 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x168c device=0x003c subvendor=0x0000 subdevice=0x0000
    vendor     = 'Qualcomm Atheros'
    device     = 'QCA986x/988x 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter'
    class      = network

If you need any additional information let me know.

There is no driver later than ath9K as far as I know on FreeBSD. There is a repository with ath10k work but it is not finished.

I have noticed the WiFi Firmware blobs for many cards that we do not support. I am not sure why. Maybe for the wifibox port.

I use these QCA98XX cards on OpenWRT and would like to see FreeBSD support for clients.
