Hello,
After all the info i gathered about ath having best WIFI support, i
bought a card only to experience constant timeout issues and terrible
performance. Below is some useful info, any ideas appreciated. The PC
and it's antenna is ~12m @ LOS from the AP. All other WIFI devices in
house work great.
Qualcomm Atheros AR5BMD222 Wireless Network Adapter
FreeBSD 15 @ ~2 days ago from master branch.
