Hiya, Now that the missing piece of support is almost done (hostap mode powersave/pspoll support) I'm going to move onto the next thing - doing automated FreeBSD builds for people to run on AP equipment. What I have that is publicly available: * Ubiquiti Routerstation * Ubiquiti Routerstation Pro * D-Link DIR-825 * TP-Link TL-WR1043nd .. and lots of Atheros reference designs that are almost-but-not-quite what people actually ship. :-) I've had plenty of people ask me if I can supply builds for their various wifi APs so they don't have to build the software themselves. So here's my offer - if you'd like me to add to the above list of hardware that I'll do automatic builds for, I'll need some hardware. If you send me a supported AP, I'll snaffle the relevant bits from linux/openwrt/atheros and stick it into my build list. The 'supported hardware" list: * .. openwrt runs on it. :-) * anything with an Atheros MIPS24k core - AR71xx, AR913x, AR724x, AR933x * Atheros 802.11n wifi * At least 32MB RAM * At least 8MB of flash The last two are annoying - yes, we could fit inside 16MB RAM and 4MB flash, but we need a lot more work done on the FreeBSD side. So I'm setting the minimum bar there. If you don't know what hardware is in the unit - take a look at the openwrt wiki. I'm just wrapping up some automated build scripts now and I expect to start building test images in the next week or so. Thanks! Adrian
