You can test that with any laptop with a CardBus slot… Those I’ve got :) Or a PCI machine with an adapter: Got one left. Of in an ISA adapter … hmmm, FreeBSD doesn’t support that, but I have a machine that can do that… I just don’t have a network that doesn’t have crypto enabled to try it out, and I’m too lazy to set that up.

Oh yeah, I am. but wl likely hasn't been tested in a long time..

Re: [PATCH] Various fixes to wl(4)
I got rid of my pre-802.11 WaveLAN cards about 8 years go after not having them in a system at all for 8 years. And they were about 4 years obsolete when I took them out of service… I’m not even sure I have a machine with an ISA slot to test the card, even if I still had it. Sorry I can’t help more :) Warner On Sep 19, 2014, at 2:07 PM, John Baldwin wrote: > This patch fixes various issues in wl(4) including: > > - Use bus_space instead of inb/outb. > - Use device_printf() and if_printf() > - Use callout(9) instead of timeout(9) > - Don't hold the driver lock across sleeping actions like > bus_teardown_intr(), subyte(), etc. > - Don't recurse on the driver lock. > > The patch is against HEAD but probably applies to 9 and 10 as well. > > http://people.freebsd.org/~jhb/patches/wl_cleanup.patch > > -- > John Baldwin signature.asc Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail
