No, I was just saying it had undergone a lot of work in the last 6 months or so, at least the OpenBSD drivers for it changed just about completely between 5.7 and 5.8 Don't know who actually did the work. OK, it's got a FreeBSD copyright, Kevin Lo 2014. I'm running 5.7, figures. I had noticed that the cards I bought most recently only worked with some urtwn drivers. But at under $5 each on eBay it's no big deal. I haven't booted my Pi in about 11 months, been playing with Debian on phones. The battery, display, portability, camera I wanted in my Pi in phones instead.
