My understanding[1] is that openbsd has better 802.11 drivers than freebsd and reading the lists this is largely due to absolutely herculean effort by one person.Stefan Sperling [2] Dramatic bio(probably none of this is true. but this lives in my head after reading the lists). Sperling never wanted to be a hero, had no training or experience interfacing with those piles of electronic treachery we affectionately call "wifi". But he wanted a change, he wanted a difference. He stepped up and wrote a patch. Now he is the sole defender between us and the vile manufactures actively trying to keep us from our starbucks internet connection. Not the hero we deserved, But the hero we needed[3]. Apparently finding people willing to work in that arcane shithole known as wifi drivers is hard. I looked once and it scared the hell out of me. A lovecraftian mess of undocumented registers and unknowable machines. 1. I don't have a laptop with FreeBSD so this is all hearsay. 2. Sperling is also writing got(game of trees) a sane implementation of git. http://gameoftrees.org/ 3. The theme song for this majestic endeavor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZsUAqaOiHU edit: I stated that got was plumbing for git and that is not true. that implies got uses git code. it does not, got uses the git file format.
