hiya, It's a new driver, not ath. ath is for 11abgn chips, not 11ac. I'm still working on the ath10k port. :-) It's at the point where I can use it daily and it's /mostly/ okay, however there are still plenty of missing things in the net80211 stack for 11ac support. I think it's good enough for basic station use, as long as you don't want to do lots of traffic. It's just not in a very committable form right now. I promise to commit it soon though and do further work in freebsd-head. -adrian On 14 March 2017 at 19:13, Darren via freebsd-wireless <freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org> wrote: > I have noticed some posts about having a QCA9880 chip working with wireless, or wanting alpha testers. > > > This is my QCA9880 card: > > https://mikrotik.com/product/R11e-5HacT > which runs using the linux ath10k > > > result of pciconf -lv: > none2@pci0:6:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0xd03c19b6 chip=0x003c168c rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 > vendor = 'Qualcomm Atheros' > device = 'QCA986x/988x 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter' > class = network > > added extra options to kernel as requested: > options ATH_ENABLE_11N # Enable 802.11n support for AR5416 and later > options AH_DEBUG #Adrian Chadd > options ATH_DEBUG #Adrian Chadd > options ATH_DIAGAPI #Adrian Chadd > > > Compiled and svned today: > > FreeBSD asrock 12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #0 r315282: Tue Mar 14 21:08:43 EDT 2017 darren@asrock:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DARREN amd64 > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-wireless-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
