Hi Andriy,

First of all, THANK YOU!  You're doing amazing work!
Second, I've done some testing on the following devices, downloading
FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-20160809-r303880-disc1.iso from ftp.freebsd.org:

- ASUS USB-N10 NANO (RTL8188CUS):
  rtwn0: <vendor 0x0b05 product 0x17ba, class 0/0, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 3> on usbus0
  rtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8188CUS, RF 6052 1T1R

- TP-Link TL-WN725N v2 (RTL8188EU):
  rtwn0: <Realtek 802.11n NIC, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 4> on usbus0
  rtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8188EU, RF 6052 1T1R

- D-Link DWA-131 (RTL8192CU):
  rtwn0: <vendor 0x2001 product 0x330d, class 0/0, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 3> on usbus0
  rtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8192CU, RF 6052 2T2R

- TP-Link Archer T4U (RTL8812AU):
  rtwn0: <Realtek 802.11n NIC, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 7> on usbus0
  rtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8812AU, RF 6052 2T2R

- D-Link DWA-171 rev A1 (RTL8821AU):
  rtwn0: <802.11n WLAN Adapter> on usbus0
  rtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8821AU, RF 6052 1T1R

- RTL8188CE mini pcie:
  rtwn0: <Realtek RTL8188CE> port 0xd000-0xd0ff mem 0x90800000-0x90803fff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci1
  rtwn0: r92ce_attach: warning: hardware crypto enabled
  rtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8188CE, RF 6052 1T1R

All seems to be ok, except RTL8188CE PCIe adapter doesn't work:

rtwn0: r92ce_post_init: warning: net80211 ratectl is used
rtwn0: device timeout
