I know that. But, unfortunately, not everybody seems to know and = therefore be able to appreciate this fact, as one can read sometimes on = some superficial sites and forums. Actually, i have seen you in talks = asking for Hardware Donations and i was quite surprised that the = development of e.g. a new wireless driver struggles already at the fact = that one single, capable and willing developer has problems getting even = one single device for which he/she wants to write a driver for. In other = words, you provide, at least in my opinion, an enormous benefit to the = project for free, but it still costs you money, and because of this = state, i can imagine, sometimes nerves too. > On Jul 13, 2016, at 22:25, Adrian Chadd <adrian.chadd@gmail.com> = wrote: >=20 > Heh, I /pay/ for hardware myself.. wifi is actually costing me money. = :) >=20 >=20 >=20 > -adrian >=20 >=20 > On 13 July 2016 at 13:23, Sydney Meyer via freebsd-wireless > <freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org> wrote: >> Yes, this is my bad.
