Hi,
given we need to get towards 11n for newer Intel (and others) and 11ac I was
reading code (for other purposes actually) and was wondering who is
using 11n on a daily basis on FreeBSD? And if you are willing/able to
test changes?
If so please let me know the following and reply to me privately (Reply-To is
set!) and I'll assemble a list. I may share the list with others working on
wireless.
Please answer the following questions (adjusting wlan0 etc. to your setup):
(1) Are you using 11n on FreeBSD on a daily basis? [y/n]
(2) Are you willing to the patches for drivers/kernel timely (say within
a week)? [y/n]
(2a) On FreeBSD CURRENT (main)? [y/n]
(2b) On FreeBSD stable/14? [y/n]
(2c) On FreeBSD stable/13? [y/n]
(3) Which hardware/chipset/driver are you using?
Please provide (3b depending on PCI or USB [*]):
(3a) ifconfig -v wlan0 | egrep -Ev "^[[:space:]](ether|inet)"
(3b-i) pciconf -lv `ifconfig wlan0 | awk '/parent interface/ { print $3 }'`
(3b-ii) usbconfig show_ifdrv | grep `ifconfig wlan0 | awk '/parent interface/ { print $3 }'` | cut -d: -f1 | xargs -n 1 -J % usbconfig -d % dump_device_desc
(4) What is your AP?
(4a) If FreeBSD please provide the answers from (3) for it as well.
(4b) Otherwise (as you know) - Vendor/Model/Chipset (vendor) if known and
if can you get statistics/errors/logs/... from it?
(5) Can I share your details with others working on wireless? [y/n]
Thanks,
Bjoern
[*] We should really make our tooling simpler to be able to get this info.
Improvemnts to scripting also welcome :)
