For a while 802.11ac adapters are out and some of them made by
Qualcomm/Atheros are considered useful for building accesspoints, like
the QCA9882.
Running revent 12-ALPHA6 on an APU from PCengines equipted with such an
WiFi adaptor (I think this product is named Compex WLE600V) and
ath/ath_hal driver loaded still gives me:
none1@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x003c168c
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros'
device = 'QCA986x/988x 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter'
class = network
bar [10] = type Memory, range 64, base 0xfe200000, size 2097152,
enabled
Linux ath10k driver claims to support this specific chipset (never
tried Linux on our PCengines APU2!), and I was wondering if there is
support for FreeBSD as well?
Since this WiFi adaptor seems to have similar reputations for being
used as hostapd AP devices for WiFi routers on FreeBSD as several
older ath 802.11bg/n devices, I was wondering whether development of a
suitable driver is planned or has been started for FreeBSD.
Thanks in advance,
oh
