Bjoern,
This was asked on my behalf from a question posed in irc. I'm looking to
finally upgrade by nanobsd ap that was been stuck on an ath9k device for
nearly a decade. I specifically wanted to know if 802.11ac works on this
with hostapd (there's a lot of old information floating around on the wiki
such as the monstrosity known as wifibox). I just wanted to know if I
bought an ax210 minipci-e device if I can finally join the contemporary 5
ghz modes.
iwlwifi (or Intel wireless) only has limited AP mode support and only on one
band. We do not support that.
I am not sure if the latest rtwn(4) USB dongles that Adrian added 11ac support
for, support AP mode or if this was tested -- Adrian?
But in short: I would not assume there is 11ac AP support yet in FreeBSD.
