Hi Adrian, Thank you for the advice! Do you know of any boards that use the AR9280 or is it recommended to find a supported host board and install an AR9280 mPCIe card into it? I found the following pages: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-wifi-build/wiki/Carambola2 http://shop.8devices.com/wifi4things/carambola2-DVK This board seems to be supported and can be purchased. However, it only supports the 2.4 GHz band. Other than that, it seems great: - Single AR9331 SoC that can run FreeBSD with built-in Wi-Fi. - GPIO since I hope to control some switches from the board as well. Do you have experience with this board or do you know of anything similar that also supports 5 GHz? Thank you, Alana On Fri, Sep 8, 2017 at 9:02 AM, Adrian Chadd <adrian.chadd@gmail.com> wrote: > hi! > > For now, stick with AR9280 devices.
