After trying out FreeBSD in VM with all the limitations I want to install it on a laptop. I have two older models

Asus F9F and HP 15-db0025no

I tried to gather information by launching the live CD like described here. But after
Code: 
dmesg > /dmesg.out.txt
it can't be done because it is a write only file-system. So I would pretty much would like to know if it is possible to use WIFI on my laptops after the installation. Thank you very much.

Maybe you have a temporary file system under /tmp. To see it, check the output of mount.

The HP laptop has Realtek RTL8821CE. The rtwn() and rtwnfw() only mention 8821AU. That would mean it is not supported?

The ASUS has "Intel® Golan & 3rd party WLAN". I am not sure what modell that would be. Try pciconf -lv in your live CD. The card should show up there..
 
I just tried it out. I can chose the wireless card during the installation in Asus F9F, while RTL8821CE in HP is not supported.
