Recommend Off the Shelf USB Wireless N - FreeBSD 9.3/10.0

2014-08-12 Thread Patrick Powell

Could anybody please please recommend a USB adapter for Wireless N that:

a) works with the current set of drivers for FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE or 
10.0-RELEASE

   OR works with an update driver,  and give the SVN release id.
   OR there are Windows Drivers for amd64,  that can be converted using 
NDIS
 and that actually work... the .INF and .SYS files need to be 
provided/specified


b) Can be bought via Amazon, or Rakuten, or a similar online store... 
even Ebay...


If it is for Wireless G,  or X or whatever flavor you have,   I would 
still be interested.


I'll bet there are other folks besides myself who would be grateful for 
such a posting.


Also,  this would be an opportunity to update the FreeBSD USB Adapter 
list.  If there are responses to this posting,   I would suggest that a 
summary be posted to one of the more general FreeBSD mailing lists.
