No. The official wiki is wrong. I have already said that before.

Apparently, people mix up 901/904, 1000H and 1002HA here. All of
them have differences in their hardware configuration.

904 and 1002HA have got an atheros wireless chipset that works with
FreeBSD. 901 and 1000H do not work. Their wireless chipsets are ralink
based and won't work, even when you install latest -CURRENT.

Work on the chipsets shows no progress, as far as I understood it.
Everyone who worked on a port from OpenBSD got bored or something like
that.
