I even resorted to plugging in 2 external wifi dongles, neither one of which i ever made work. but at least i found rtwn drivers in /boot/kernel. i know the wifi function is woven into the bluetooth controller, but I saw no fathomable (by me) connection to a driver.

Hi,

FreeBSD does not have a working driver for the onboard WiFi of the RPIs. Your only option is wired ethernet or a (supported) external USB-WiFi dongle.
