> Wireless support for 802.11n has been added. Wait, What?

• stock_toaster 10y ago
  My guess is this part: The iwn(4) driver was added, providing support for the Intel® Centrino™ Wireless-N 105 and 135 chipsets. [r266770] from: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.0R/relnotes.html#drivers-network https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.0R/relnotes.html#drivers...

    I think that should read that these chipsets were added to iwn, considering iwn has been in since at least 8.0 (going by my very non-scientific manpage search).

    That driver was on OpenBSD for a long time. I put FreeBSD on a machine a year or so ago and really missed that driver. Maybe now I can get rid of the USB dongle I've been using instead.

      iwn(4) has been present for a long time. I suspect you mean iwm(4)?
      • asveikau 10y ago
        You're right. Also happy to report that machine is working way better now.

  Typo -- should read additional wireless support has been added.

  IIRC, OpenBSD added 802.11n support in a recent release.
