Suggested hardware

2013-03-31 Thread sib
Hi. I'm looking to get a netbook or small laptop for FreeBSD. I've only
run it on servers and desktops in the past, so I'm unsure about some of
the hardware requirements. I'd like to be able to connect to wifi with no
auth, wep, wpa and wpa2 and be able to fully utilize the aircrack-ng suite
of tools. I need regular wifi, monitor mode/ahdemo and packet injection
working. Thankfully I saw this PR was added to the port:
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/160564

Any suggestions for either a netbook or an add-on (usb maybe?) wireless
card would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

with netbook you mean the low-cost machines?

Lenovo was a good pick for me.

.. anything with an Atheros PCI/PCIe chipset will work.

The only chipset I don't have support for atm is:

* AR5523, but i doubt you'll ever see this unless you still use cardbus;
* QCA9880 and derivates (11ac) - but that won't work at the moment and
likely won't do raw injection more for aircrack any time soon.

If there are bugs with ahdemo/packet injection then please file bugs
and participate on freebsd-wireless. I don't have time to debug that
stuff at the moment but I'd love to see ti work.

Thanks!


Adrian
