Well, there's a bunch of updated intel hardware with mini-pcie slots. I think pcengines just did a hardware refresh, for example? We should put together a list of those and then make sure -HEAD at least works on them. That's a good starting point. After that - the problem is a lack of 11ac drivers and framework support in FreeBSD. It'll come, but ENOTIME at the moment. -a On 21 December 2013 11:05, Adam McDougall wrote: > Hello, a friend of mine is interested in building his own 802.11ac > access point with a replaceable wifi module so he can save money on > future upgrades by just swapping out the wifi module and possibly > antenna.
