You might have trouble using other supported chipsets which are connected to the USB port. Also note that the wireless card in the laptop can be replaced for about ten bucks. It's typically the easiest thing to replace in a laptop. If you decide to swap out your wifi card I'd recommend Atheros. -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA From owner-freebsd-wireless@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Feb 5 00:51:08 2014 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [8.8.178.115]) (using TLSv1 with cipher ADH-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id 6A9C65CD for ; Wed, 5 Feb 2014 00:51:08 +0000 (UTC) Received: from o3.shared.sendgrid.net (o3.shared.sendgrid.net [208.117.48.85]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 0D2A51119 for ; Wed, 5 Feb 2014 00:51:07 +0000 (UTC) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha1; c=relaxed; d=sendgrid.info; h=from:mime-version:to:subject:references:in-reply-to:content-type:content-transfer-encoding; s=smtpapi; bh=AFxtzxftSQ4TCJ8SIt+olbUU8Lk=; b=mZFDby61aI4nghERyV LvbHM3Taw7enPkPYgOtFKF6uTnpi28Y4IakXytFC6dQ5HhdeNZwaNFNLjNURkCF2 cOZZ6L1XB2rGN467nVYS96zU1SRSDxGhe7DFDH27jsrQQLOxyDe1akrqZ9qH29eg O8PxWBGI/ah2k2S8lfIrHGhio= Received: by mf253.sendgrid.net with SMTP id mf253.21239.52F18AF51 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 00:51:01 +0000 (UTC) Received: from mail.tarsnap.com (unknown [10.100.60.97]) by ismtpd-025 (SG) with ESMTP id 143ff86ccd3.7d31.4e1ed6 for ; Wed, 05 Feb 2014 00:51:00 +0000 (GMT) Received: (qmail 28292 invoked from network); 5 Feb 2014 00:51:00 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO clamshell.daemonology.net) (127.0.0.1) by ec2-107-20-205-189.compute-1.amazonaws.com with ESMTP; 5 Feb 2014 00:51:00 -0000 Received: (qmail 13500 invoked from network); 5 Feb 2014 00:50:35 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO clamshell.daemonology.net) (127.0.0.1) by clamshell.daemonology.net with SMTP; 5 Feb 2014 00:50:35 -0000 Message-ID: <52F18ADB.6070909@freebsd.org> Date: Tue, 04 Feb 2014 16:50:35 -0800 From: Colin Percival User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; FreeBSD amd64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/24.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Pedro Flynn , "freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org" Subject: Re: recommended usb wifi device?

These devices use the run driver. Thanks! It turns out to be nontrivial to find devices using that chipset given its age, but I managed to find an Engenius EUB9707 on Amazon.

Recent Toshiba models are made by Acer, but I can't recall changing the wireless card in one. Dell often uses Broadcom cards. It would be nice if the new Broadcom partipation in FreeBSD would extend to improving their wireless drivers.

I kind of helped those two guys when they started. It's possible I fabricated their first 'heartbeat' out of hmmm 1/4" rod. And the first sets of chasis. And it came back to cause me problems over the years. :) Anyway, I haven't noticed that going on with Asus either. There are documented ways around the stalled boot but none of them are pretty. -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA (510) 830-7975 From owner-freebsd-wireless@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Feb 5 16:25:41 2014 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::19:1]) (using TLSv1 with cipher ADH-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id DCB28A0C for ; Wed, 5 Feb 2014 16:25:41 +0000 (UTC) Received: from sanddollar.geekisp.com (sanddollar.geekisp.com [216.168.135.167]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 543671B7D for ; Wed, 5 Feb 2014 16:25:40 +0000 (UTC) Received: (qmail 8594 invoked by uid 1003); 5 Feb 2014 16:19:00 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO kiwi) (tyler@monkeypox.org@64.125.69.200) by mail.geekisp.com with (DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA encrypted) SMTP; 5 Feb 2014 16:18:59 -0000 Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2014 08:18:55 -0800 From: "R.

I should note that at no time was I actually touching the wireless switch on the sid= e of this X200 I'm wondering if this might be over-aggressive power saving code or if ther= e's some underlying fault causing the iwn driver to switch the radio off. I'm going to look thorugh the latest changes in CURRENT since then and see = if there's anything that might be of use and start rebuilding world. But if anybody has some suggestions, I'm all ears.
