Kristof=20 Up until a month ago I ran a set of FreeBSD based ap in my house and even l= ong ago at work . They were Pc engines apu =E2=80=98s or Alix=E2=80=99s with= one em/igb nic and one ath nic in a bridge . They worked well for a long t= ime however the need for more robust wifi setup caused me to swap them out w= ith cots aps from tp-link . The major issues were the lack of WiFi features= and standards that work oob on Linux based aps .=20 So I always wanted to experiment with ng_bridge vs if_bridge for the same ta= sk . But I never got around to it . Do you have any insight into using one v= s the other . Imho if_bridge is easier to setup and get working .=20 --- Mark Saad | nonesuch@longcount.org > On Apr 15, 2020, at 1:37 PM, Kristof Provost <kp@freebsd.org> wrote: >=20 > =EF=BB=BFOn 15 Apr 2020, at 19:16, Mark Saad wrote: >> All >> Should this improve wifi to wired bridges in some way ?
