hello and thanks for sharing your experience @alfredo87.
FreeBSD has support for many touchpads, so I hope we can get yours working. Possibly you are affected by helloSystem/ISO#120. Is your touchpad an I2C device? How is it detected on Linux?
As for wireless networking, I agree that FreeBSD should get proper Intel wireless support, but this is clearly out of the scope of the helloSystem project.
There is an inexpensive workaround using a USB dongle:

Exactly my setup, so there's something deeper in there.

Booted from ISO helloSystem build: 0E27 for commit: de9b15f
WiFi no driver in free BSD
I am amazed that FreeBSD has no drivers for Intel WiFi and Synaptic touchpad!
helloSystem is an incredible effort to achieve what I have been trying with Linux and BSD fora long time.
WiFi and Synaptic touchpad drivers /modules for freeBSD needed.
