If that works (device shows up after an ifconfig), you'll have to modify /boot/loader.conf to always load if_ral on startup. I have one of these exact cards, but since it's not HP certified, my bios freezes the system if you put it in, hence, haven't tested it. "man wlan" seems to state that it is supported, however.
