For the graphics to work properly, I had to install the SCFB driver.

GraphicsOld/SCFB

:!: Below I will give a comparison of the incorrect operation of the graphics.

✘ with drm-kmod ✔ with SCFB

In order to get the wireless card to work, I had to rebuild the kernel with the options listed here:

bwn(4)

and also install loadable modules:

net/bwn-firmware-kmod

My settings files contain the following:

/boot/loader.conf

if_bwn_load="YES"
bwn_v4_ucode_load="YES"

/etc/rc.conf

network_interfaces="AUTO"
wpa_supplicant_enable="YES"
wlans_bwn0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"

After completing the settings, I rebooted the laptop and made sure that all modules were loaded:
