If you'd been running FreeBSD for 10 years, you'd see the obvious error you've made, and if you'd been running FreeBSD for 10 years you would not come complaining here about the FreeBSD forums and blaming others for your own mistakes, nor complaining about -CURRENT. So I find that hard to believe.
If there's "no point", then just use OpenBSD, but don't blame FreeBSD, it's forums or it's users for your own errors and apparent inability to read basic documentation.
If you'd read the handbook, this thread would end fast and your wifi would be working in FreeBSD.
//edit:: and now after making all of those edits (yes they're all recorded) to your first post (assuming the FreeBSD system is still installed?) you should try rebooting and see if the wlan0 interface you've now set up in loader.conf comes up and associates on boot? (assuming wpa_supplicant is configured correctly...). If it doesn't you might want to trying using ifconfig with the wlan0 interface rather than iwn0 to troubleshoot it...
//edit: and by the way, that's not how the firmware is loaded. The "device" line is for kernel config.
