Hello,
I have installed OpenBSD/amd64 7.3 on an old MacBook Air (2013).
The onboard wifi doesn't work anymore, so I bought a TP-Link USB wifi
dongle off Amazon (TP-Link WN821N, 300Mbps).
OpenBSD seems to reecognize it (see attached dmesg, ifconfig), but it runs
slow. I have a 1Gbps Internet connection and if I put my laptop right
next to my access point, I get a max download speed of 0.9-1.0 Mbps
when attempting to saturate the Internet connection.
Other devices do not have the same problem.
Is there a way I can get the NIC to speed up?
Thank you.
