Re: 11n support (more speed) on Intel 3160 - is it better on 7260 or 8260?
I know that. But, unfortunately, not everybody seems to know and therefore be able to appreciate this fact, as one can read sometimes on some superficial sites and forums. Actually, i have seen you in talks asking for Hardware Donations and i was quite surprised that the development of e.g. a new wireless driver struggles already at the fact that one single, capable and willing developer has problems getting even one single device for which he/she wants to write a driver for. In other words, you provide, at least in my opinion, an enormous benefit to the project for free, but it still costs you money, and because of this state, i can imagine, sometimes nerves too. > On Jul 13, 2016, at 22:25, Adrian Chadd wrote: > > Heh, I /pay/ for hardware myself.. wifi is actually costing me money. :) > > > > -adrian > > > On 13 July 2016 at 13:23, Sydney Meyer via freebsd-wireless > wrote: >> Yes, this is my bad.

Re: 11n support (more speed) on Intel 3160 - is it better on 7260 or 8260?
Yes, this is my bad. I got confused about it appearing on the 12.0-CURRENT Release Notes. It should have been clear to me as the OP indeed already wrote, he is using iwn on 11-CURRENT. Sorry for the fuzz.

Hi, there is no 11-CURRENT anymore.. There is a commit to 12.0-CURRENT which imports OpenBSD's iwm Driver for newer Intel Chipsets. https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=286441 Sydney > On Jul 13, 2016, at 18:53, Petr Fischer wrote: > > Hello, > > I have "Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160NGW" in my Toshiba Z30 notebook. > Under 11-CURRENT, I can connect with 11g (54MBps) only.

Re: ath (AR9280) with nanoBSD
Hi Adrian, awesome, it's working fine now.. Thanks a bunch for this hint, i have been rebuilding world and kernel a lot last few days and haven't been able to figure it out, eventually ripping all options out and building a stock image, which "seemingly" dind't work either, so thanks again. Also, thank you very, very much for your ongoing work on all the FreeBSD Wireless Drivers you are working on. Cheers..

ath (AR9280) with nanoBSD
Hello, i seem to be unable to get the ath driver working on a PC Engines APU 2C2 Board with a Compex WLE200NX (AR9280) MiniPCIe-Card booting from a NanoBSD Image built from HEAD. I have built the NanoBSD Image without any BUILD, INSTALL or WORLD options and with a GENERIC-NODEBUG Kernel. I can see the Card in dmesg with root@:~ # dmesg | grep ath ath0: mem 0xfe80-0xfe80 at device 0.0 on pci4 [ath] enabling AN_TOP2_FIXUP ath0: [HT] enabling HT modes ath0: [HT] 1 stream STBC receive enabled ath0: [HT] 1 stream STBC transmit enabled ath0: [HT] 2 RX streams; 2 TX streams ath0: AR9280 mac 128.2 RF5133 phy 13.0 ath0: 2GHz radio: 0x; 5GHz radio: 0x00c0 and pciconf -lv shows ath0@pci0:4:0:0:class=0x028000 card=0x3099168c chip=0x002a168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Qualcomm Atheros' device = 'AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)' class = network and root@:~ # kldstat -v | grep ath 89 pci/ath_pci but the Card doesn't show up with ifconfig. When booting from USB with FreeBSD-11.0-ALPHA5-amd64-20160624-r302164-memstick.img the Card is getting recognised regularly with ifconfig as ath0. ___ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
