That method is always hit and miss, definitely not a end all solution to drivers on FreeBSD.
If there is a driver in the works for 8-CURRENT, I can't find any reference to it.. your other option might be to find a PCMCIA wireless card.
It's possible your laptop actually has a MiniPCI card inside, theoretically it might be possible to replace it.. but, it's not for the faint of heart.
