Hi, I have no plans to backport anything. If someone wants to take charge of backporting net80211 and wifi drivers from head, be my guest. :) adrian On 22 May 2013 22:20, Patrick Proniewski <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > Thank you. Glad to read that ath is not as limited as its man page says. Upgrading to HEAD is not really on my roadmap for now, I would rather wait for a back port if it's a matter of mouths. > > regards, > Patrick > > On 23 mai 2013, at 01:57, Adrian Chadd wrote: > >> Hi >> >> AR9280 and AR9285 work on freebsd-9, but there's been a lot of work in >> -HEAD to improve features and stability. >> >> Please consider updating to -HEAD. >> >> Thanks! >> >> >> >> Adrian >> >> On 22 May 2013 13:34, Patrick Proniewski <[email protected]> wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> I'm not sure if it's the right mailing list for this question, but as mini PCIe wifi cards are mostly used in mobile computers, I give it a try: >>> >>> I'm looking for a half mini PCIe wifi card supporting hostapd mode. I might be wrong, but it appears that only Atheros chipset can be used with hostpad. I've found many recent Atheros based half mini PCIe wifi cards, but according to `man ath` on FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p2 they are not supported: >>> >>> Atheros AR5B95 AR9285 802.11B/G/N Half Mini PCI-E Card >>> Atheros AR5B93 WiFi 802.11n draft Wireless Half Mini PCI-E Card >>> Atheros AR5BHB92-H AR9280 802.11 b/g/n Wireless PCIe Half Size Mini Card >>> >>> It would be great if someone could give some pointers to half mini PCIe WIFI cards working in hostapd mode on FreeBSD 9.1. >>> >>> Regards, >>> Patrick >>> _______________________________________________ >>> [email protected] mailing list >>> http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile >>> To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]" > _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
