Hi I'd like to create a freebsd AP using my mini-itx board. I have a mini-pcie expansion slot and am considering this wifi card http://www.habeyusa.com/products_show.php?id=361 I currently run 8.2R but plan to upgrade to 9.0R. The main concern I have is that it lists its host interface as mini-pcie / USB, i.e. it might be a wifi card that is exposed to the system over a USB bus, which might not be optimal for a hostap. The docs say Atheros AR9285(MAC/Baseband/RF) with AR3011 -- I tend to think the AR3011 is an error in their docs as the card is not advertised as supporting bluetooth, and because an AR9285 is apparently exposed over PCIe, I tend to think the card will work fine as an hostap, but just want to double check. Anyone have any insight? Matthewhome | help
