Hoping for 802.11n or 802.11ac for hostap mode. 11n the options are documented for the drivers and nothing has changed in years. Theres a few options to pick from if you want hostap. Most of that hardware is a decade old. 11ac nothing there yet. >> I know mesh networking isn't supported (yet) on FreeBSD. I'm hoping Sorry, but mesh is in FreeBSD (or at least a state of it) and has been for ages. People used to use it on research in the past. I believe it is even compiled in by default these days: % grep -r MESH sys/*/conf/* sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC:options IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH # enable 802.11s draft support sys/i386/conf/GENERIC:options IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH # enable 802.11s draft support sys/powerpc/conf/GENERIC:options IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH sys/powerpc/conf/GENERIC64:options IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH # enable 802.11s draft support sys/powerpc/conf/GENERIC64LE:options IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH # enable 802.11s draft support >> that with Aymeric's work on BATMAN, wireless mesh networking may >> become a very real possibility.
