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.
