I love the BSDs. I just took a personal tour of the current state of affairs in BSD-land. I can't get WiFi to work with OpenBSD on an old Thinkpad T60 I recently got, so I've been trying all the other BSDs on it to see what works. A couple of them won't boot at all. WiFi works best with FreeBSD and HardenedBSD, which is unusual on laptops in my experience.
- JdeBP 10y agoI've just had a similar experience with an old 32-bit CPU Acer Aspire One. I tried what modern 32-bit BSDs I had, including GhostBSD and OpenBSD. Only FreeBSD 10.3 drove the WiFi network adapter. Interestingly, FreeBSD 11 did not. So there's a regression of some sort in there, somewhere.
