That's an odd and misinformed attack on the foundation. They're actively sponsoring WiFi work, the first half of which recently landed in tree. You can see what they're involved in on on their website: https://freebsdfoundation.org/our-work/projects/ https://freebsdfoundation.org/our-work/projects/
- nix23 5y ago> They're actively sponsoring WiFi work Yes since three years without any outcome....that's why the critique toward the foundation and NOT the project. https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/freebsd-foundation.jpeg?w=536&ssl=1 https://i0.wp.com/itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/fre...
- kevans91 5y agoAs I said in the previous post, the first half of it just landed within the last month. iwlwifi[0] and dozens of linuxkpi commits[1] over the past couple of months by bz@. My frame.work laptop works generally well with -CURRENT (and presumably with stable/13, since iwlwifi's been mfc'd) with some wifi stability issues that have been reported.

- nix23 5y agoAnd as i wrote, wireless is criminally underdeveloped on freebsd, not just a problem for laptops but firewalls/access-points too. 802.11n came out 12! years ago...and no i don't even talk about ac here.
