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.

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.

Re: 11n support (more speed) on Intel 3160 - is it better on 7260 or 8260?
Development is 100% volunteer. No one is being paid to do it, so it happens at the speed of spare time. If you'd like that changed then please advocate to the foundation about how important wireless is!
