Hi,
I have decided to modernize my OpenBSD system from an old desktop PC to
something lower power. It seems that the PC Engines APU line is well
supported by OpenBSD and low power and the price point is rather attractive.
I've never done wireless with OpenBSD. Since some of the APU cases come
with holes for two antennae, I thought it would be a new learning
experience to implement a wireless base station (router) in OpenBSD.
I can't seem to find much information on what wireless cards people have
used in the APU system(s).
The PC Engines website lists a WLE200NX which google reveals is a
Atheros AR9280 Wireless Mini PCIe 2.4/5 Ghz Dual Band card.
According to athn.4, it should be supported and operate as a base
station (router).
Is this a card that people have had success with operating as a base
station (wireless router)?
Is there a better Mini PCIe card that is supported by OpenBSD?
I'm not scrimping on money... I anticipate this running for 5+ years.
I've been on OpenBSD since the 2.7 days and have only had 2 different
sets of hardware (retired PC's). This would be the third and the only
"new" system :)
Thanks,
Steve Williams
