FreeBSD doesn't have Wi-Fi driver for my old MacBook. AI build one for me

My old 2016 MacBook Pro has been collecting dust in a cabinet for some time now. The laptop suffers from a “flexgate” problem, and I don’t have any practical use for it. For quite some time, I’ve been thinking about repurposing it as a guinea pig, to play with FreeBSD — an OS that I’d aspired to play with for a long while, but had never had a real reason to. During the recent holiday season, right after FreeBSD 15 release, I’ve finally found time to set the laptop up. Doing that I didn’t plan, or even think, this may turn into a story about AI coding.
