It seems like the best way to get WiFi working in FreeBSD is to run Linux in bhyve and tunnel your connections through there.

That kind of seems crazy to me, considering OpenBSD has worked perfectly fine with every wifi capable device I've tested it on. Granted, most of them were older machines.

Is this just an artifact of FreeBSD primarily focusing on server hardware rather than consumer/end-user stuff?

FreeBSD 15 has done a lot for WiFi apparently.

I'm not sure how good it is as I don't use wifi but it's supposed to be much better.

the fact that this is a widely accepted/encouraged practice is genuinely unhinged
