To be honest, I don't know if your Sony wireless adapter i= s supported by Linux, but in general, I think linux is more flexible and sup= ports more devices than FreeBSD (and more than all the rest of *BSD variatio= ns). > I bought a TL-WN725N and a TL-WN723N > the model WN725N is better, and smaller=20 > both from tplink > and both works out of the box with FreeBSD 10 stable AMD64 > I use them on a sony that have a wireless chip not recognizeable by FreeBS= D. > the only "catch" is to load the driver at boot (loader.conf) and accept th= e licence... > if_urtwn_load=3DYES > legal.realtek.license_ack=3D1 >=20 >=20
