I have never been able to get wireless networking to work on FreeBSD.
The current laptop on which I am not able to get wireless networking to work has a Realtek RTL8188EE wireless device. Here is the relevant output from

I also cannot get Solaris to recognize this device, but I am just about ready to give up on Solaris. I am not ready to give up on FreeBSD. Thank you in advance for any and all replies.
