The only diff I can tell is I used the iso for the test image, and now I used the memstick image - ce la vie. What I need to know is that the various freebsd wiki pages for wifi mention the 9300's are different and work needs to be done for support, that -head should just work now, and the real kicker - it was updated about 3-4 years ago! So FBSD11 should definitely be considered a derivative of -head by now, right? I'll also point out that it specifically mentioned a porting back to -9, so there's that also. This was in ath_hal/9300 Bottom line: so what's the status? And if it should be going, why isn't it? cheers
