There are already some __FreeBSD_version checks, so it is compatible with
11.0-RELEASE;
see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205477 as an example.
P.S. No, rtwn(4) (in 11.0-RELEASE) for PCIe, urtwn(4) for USB (this was
changed in
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/UPDATING?r1=307532&r2=307531&pathrev=307532
)
hiya,
I think we can backport the whole thing, but it comes with a lot of
other changes. I'll talk to Andriy about it; maybe we can pick a time
where we can just checkpoint the whole -head wireless stack + drivers
and backport it in one hit.

Greetings, all.
I recently set out to create a wireless gateway, out of one of my
servers.
I ran across a PCIe card that had the Realtek 8188CE chip on it, and
upon
further investigation, indicated it was a pretty capable chip indeed.
So I
looked in hopes of finding FreeBSD supported it. While not listed in
HARDWARE.txt anywhere. I did find quite a bit of evidence that it was
indeed supported (via rtwn(4)). So I ordered one. It just arrived, and
I loaded
in loader.conf(5):
if_rtwn_load="YES"
But further installation seems to indicate that (at least in RELENG_11)
that
the rtwn(4) driver is (only?) intended for dongles (USB), and not the
PCIe
version(s) of the RTL8188CE chipset. Is this true? If so, is the work on
CURRENT (12), which *does* appear to support the RTL8188CE,
(back)portable
to 11? Normally, I'd find it fairly trivial to back port the changes,
but I
see what appears to be a complete re-organization to the network
infrastructure
where drivers are concerned.
I'm not on 12, and can't make the jump yet. So here's hoping.
Thank you for all your time, and consideration.
