Or, at least it did as I have not tried HOSTAP for a few years. Does FreeBSD even have 11AC implemented? I DO NOT recommend it, though, except as a last resort as it has a number of issues and has consistently regressed since FreeBSD 10. It has a really bad time getting along with the wpa_supplicant in 11. It can take many minutes to sync up on re-boot. It also goes "DOWN" very briefly a few times a day, but it comes back up very quickly from these, so I may have a hardware issue on my almost 7 year-old ThinkPad T520. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkober...@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
