X-BeenThere: freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: "Discussions of 802.11 stack, tools device driver development." List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 30 Sep 2012 14:21:15 -0000 Subject pretty much says it all. I am in the market for a supported dual-band 802.11n wifi adapter, that can be used with FreeBSD to run as an access point. I have an old athlonxp 2000 that I intend to make into a custom router, but need to find a PCI (not PCI-e) or USB2.x adapter that I can use to provide wireless service to my home. I have 2 gigabit cards in the box already, as well as an external 5port gigabit switch.. I also have a single-band 2.4ghz .11n router currently, that I am using as an AP-only, but I would like to support the 5ghz band. I am open to the idea of simply replacing the router with a dual-band AP.. but I would prefer a PCI adapter. Any ideas on supported chipsets/adapters that meet these requirements? Thanks, Chuck Burns
