Newegg reviews say this is an Intel 7260HMW: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813995032&Tpk=N82E16813995032 I don't know if that is supported on FreeBSD yet. PCIe to mini-PCIe adapters like that can be found separately, allowing the use of any mini-PCIe card. I've successfully tested an Atheros AR9280 card in one.
