Thought I share good news as well:=0A= =0A= 1. Temporarily switched to power line network=2C so the server is 'wireless= ' and functions as wanted. Speed dropped from about 1.2 Mbit within the apa= rtment to 300 Kbit between the 2 floors=2C however=2C reliability is over s= peed in my case. There was no need to upgrade the server from R8.1 either.= =0A= =0A= 2. In the meantime did a test with R10 beta. Booted the server yesterday ni= ght from a R10 memory stick=2C configured a TL-WDN4800=2C and voila=2C abou= t 700 Mbit without much tuning (AP is 5 years old). (Manual config after bo= ot did not seem to work=2C but mounting the pen drive in write mode and upd= ating rc.conf=2C wpa_supplicant.conf cut it.) I will do a full night test t= he next days.=0A= =0A= Wonder if beta releases count as normal release from the upgrading perspect= ive? I could start with R10 beta on a 2nd disk=2C it will take a while unti= l all ports are reinstalled=2C configured etc. Once this is done (I will ta= ke my time) R10 final should be out. Question is: R10 beta -> R10 final upg= rade is just like any other upgrade? Or=2C shall I wait 1 month for the fin= al R10?=0A= =0A= =0A= Cheers=0A= Balazs=0A= =0A= ----------------------------------------=0A= > From: sbremal@hotmail.com=0A= > To: freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org=0A= > Subject: RE: WLAN PCIe HW recommendation for 8.1=0A= > Date: Tue=2C 8 Oct 2013 08:53:27 +0000=0A= >=0A= > 'wikidevi.com' is the answer to all questions.
