The only chipset I don't have support for atm is: * AR5523, but i doubt you'll ever see this unless you still use cardbus; * QCA9880 and derivates (11ac) - but that won't work at the moment and likely won't do raw injection more for aircrack any time soon. If there are bugs with ahdemo/packet injection then please file bugs and participate on freebsd-wireless. I don't have time to debug that stuff at the moment but I'd love to see ti work. Thanks!
