Hi, THe bit(s) i don't want to really make work mostly involve the USB stuff. So, if you grab the USB drivers in sys/dev/usb/wlan/ and look at the netbsd/openbsd athn usb code, that right there is what would be good to start with. So, if you or someone could port the initial USB glue - attach, detach, upload firmware, send commands, receive commands - that'll be a big help. -a On 17 December 2013 02:39, Thomas Mueller <mueller6724@bellsouth.net> wrote: >> You should buy a cheap one for now, until someone writes the >> AR7010/AR9271 driver. > >> -adrian > > From your wiki site on wiki.freebsd.org, > > Chipsets I won't be working on > > USB chipsets, in particular the AR7010+AR9280, AR9271 or the AR9170 chipset > although if someone would like to work on these, I'll be happy to help them with it > > I've offered to help, but dang, no answer. > > Question is where I should start.
