According to what's written in the following URLs: http://forums.freebsd.org= /viewtopic.php?t=3D41581 , https://wiki.freebsd.org/dev/ath_hal(4)/HardwareS= upport (under the 'Chipsets I won't be working on' section) the TL-WN722N T= P-LINK wireless dongle isn't supported on freeBSD since its chipset is based= on the AR9271 chipset which isn't supported by FreeBSD. Now, my question is, since the above mentioned device is supported by Linux v= ia a special atheros firmware module, and since FreeBSD provides a Linux vir= tualization, will this device work on a FreeBSD system by its Linux virtuali= zation capability? Regards, Atar.=
