Hello!
I'm a grad student taking an Operating Systems course this semester where I
can officially work on something for FreeBSD for ~3 months! Do you think
either of the following ideas would be good to have? (Plan to work ~15-20
hours a week for 12-14 weeks)
1) Adding 802.11n support to the run(4) driver.
For example, the ASUS USB N66[1] device.
The run(4) man page states:
"CAVEATS
The run driver does not support any of the 802.11n capabilities offered
by the RT2800, RT3000 and RT3900 chipsets."
2) Adding RTL8814AU support to the rtwn(4) driver.
Devices such as AWUS1900[2] (multiple antennas) and D-Link DWA-192[3] (ball
shaped device) use this chipset.
I'd appreciate your feedback on this so that I can decide what to do.
If you have any other ideas that might be potentially more useful for
FreeBSD, I'll be happy to consider them and talk to my professor about it.
