I saw you writing a lot on the forums about WIFI cards. Initially I wanted to get the intel but I think the intel only supported station mode. I asked this on the forum but I would like to ask here just to have it. How did you find a particular hardware component being supported? For example; let's look at the wifi cards. I was looking if this device is supported Atheros AR9462; googling lead me to the auth_hal man page but when I look in there I don't see any reference to the AR9462 so how can I be sure the device will be supported? For example ath_hal seems to go up to about 9380 and newer devices aren't supported? So in a situation like this, let's say I'd like to exhaust more channels before sending off an email to some FreeBSD mailing list. How could I further do tests w/o say buying the device online, having it shipped, testing and possibly returning. The main reason is shipping to my location is often more expensive than the products that I am trying to find= .
