maybe you could use this driver:

    http://vitsch.net/bsd/atuwi/

>From the features list:

"A FreeBSD driver for Atmel based USB WLAN adapters. The aim of the
 project is to get all Atmel at76c503a compatible USB WLAN adapters
 to work on FreeBSD."

"Support for Intersil, RFMD and RFMD2958 radio parts."

I'm not sure, if it works, and haven't tried it myself, but you
could give it a try.
