Thanks to everybody who recommended USB WiFi cards. I got TP-LINK 
TL-WDN3200 and it works very well.

I think there is a value in having a list of well supported USB WiFi 
cards. Maybe it makes sense to add such section into the handbook (here 
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-wireless.html)? For 
example, create the section "Well-supported devices".
