FreeBSD does have some kind of effort to work on adopting them. While that may expand compatibility greatly, it would be in my view a major loss. FreeBSD WiFi drivers more than make up for in quality what they fail to have in quantity; Linux drivers are generally the bottom of the barrel and this often translates directly to poor user experiences with them. FreeBSD drivers may work on less hardware ... but when or where they do work, they are often much more of a sure thing. (Haiku has its own troubles with FreeBSD drivers, for sure, but generally this seems to hold true: either it works nearly perfectly or it completely fails to recognize or initialize the hardware. Almost all tickets on our tracker now or in the past about such drivers have been along those lines.)
