The Handbook has a section (2.10) called Supported Hardware.  It says
look in Release Information and gives a link
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/index.html.  On that page if you click
on Hardware Notes (for 6.0 would be best) you'll get not only the
wireless card list (section 3.6), but all supported hardware.  Sometimes
you get more detailed information (especially on chipsets) in the man
pages for the driver itself; it is always worth checking!

Welcome!

I'm happy with my Cisco/Aironet card, but there are many newer and
faster ones. Surely someone on this list will have just tried a
relatively new one on 6.0!

> Does Linksys Wireless PCI CARD network works under freeBSD?

There are several listed in the Hardware Notes for 6.0

> How can I know the chipset sold on the PCI card?

Usually the manufacturer will have the technical specifications for
their products on their web site. 

Best of luck!
