Just curious: why do you think that buying more memory will help? Because of the "cabn't allocate memory resource" message? AFAIU, that message indicates that there is something wrong with the way your acpi / bios tells FreeBSD what memory / how much memory it needs, not that the machine itself has too little memory. What is needed to find out more is the dmesg output from a verbose boot, preferably put up on the web somewhere, and with a link to it in your message here. Also, be sure to put up the complete dmesg output. For good mesasure, include the complete dmesg output of a normal boot as well, and 'pciconf -lv' output, and what more? You didn't say if your laptop is dual booting. If it is, and if the wpi network adapter is working in some other os, it will help if you can find out what resources (irq, memory ranges, etc) it uses in that other os.
