Hi, If there's a linux/netbsd/openbsd driver then you could work with us to port them. We in the wireless stack hacker group are sorely lacking developers working on the chipsets that are out there. OpenBSD tends to have a bunch of wireless drivers that Damien has either ported or reimplemented from various (Linux) upstreams, so you could use that as a basis for future work. If someone has the following hardware AND can actually actively work on helping me port support from OpenBSD/Linux to FreeBSD, please drop me a line ASAP: (These are all USB) * AR9170 series NICs (Linux - carl9170, OpenBSD: ar9170) * AR7010 CPU + (AR9280, AR9285, AR9287) NICs (Linux, ath9k_htc, OpenBSD: athn) * AR9271 CPU+Wifi NIC (ath9k_htc/athn) I've got documentation and reference hardware here, so I can assist in helping debug and add 802.11n support. I just have no time to do all the initial USB bring up of these things. If in doubt, jump on freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org and start talking. :) Adrian
