I got an SD card img file from the FreeBSD site and put it onto the micro SD card that goes into my raspberry pi 4. I am doing this so I can ssh into it and run my c files from my main computer easily. When I had Raspbian OS which is what came pre installed, I was able to wirelessly connect to the internet. I have been trying to figure out how i can replicate it within FreeBSD.

, he searched through the output of a command - 'dmesg | more' He found the interface that was along the lines of 'wireless dual-band'. So, I did the same, and could not eyeball anything, so i used grep; the result of 'grep -i 'band' f.txt was that nothing was returned. grep -i "dual-band" f.txt returned nothing and grep -i "broadband" f.txt returned 3 things, none of which seemed to be of use. sdhci_bcm0: <Broadcom 2708 SDHCI controller> the second line was similar, and the third line was <Broadcom BCM2835/BCM2838 RNG>.
If i was able to connect wirelessly on raspbian, why can i not seem to do the same on FreeBSD? How am i able to retrieve the correct interface?
