Hi, Recently, I've tried installing FreeBSD on Lenovo Yoga 3 14. It turned out that its wireless device (which uses 802.11ac) support is not there yet according to [1] and [2]. Additionally, Adrian@'s presentation from BSDCan 2012 [3] says "802.11ac support? .. it's rapidly approaching, it should be thought about!" :).
Is there any book/website/tutorial which shows how to develop network drivers for FreeBSD? I think that developing a 802.11ac driver seems to be a fine project for Google Summer of Code. On the other hand, I have little experience with drivers so far so it might be a better idea to focus on implementing only a part of required functionalities. Do you think that providing additional support for 802.11ac is good for a GSoC project? Thanks/Cheers! --Mateusz [1]: https://wiki.freebsd.org/WiFi [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11 [3]: https://www.bsdcan.org/2012/schedule/attachments/207_BSDCan%202012%20-%20802.11%20status%20update.pdf _______________________________________________ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
