Outdated instructions in FreeBSD Handbook (Section 21.6 - FreeBSD as a Host with VirtualBox)
Hi there, Section 21.6.2 of the handbook should be updated to reflect the USB support issue of VirtualBox used on FreeBSD host operating system. Apparently, FreeBSD is not one of the officially supported operating systems by Oracle[1], hence their latest extension pack (VirtualBox 5.0.14 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack), which can be downloaded from [2], is not available for FreeBSD hosts. This extension pack enables USB 2.0/3.0 communication ports to be enabled/used in the guest operating system. Oracle's description for the extension pack is "Support for USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 devices, VirtualBox RDP and PXE boot for Intel cards..." Unfortunately, without this extension pack, FreeBSD host operating system cannot pass the USB port to the guest OS. Even though the user follows the steps given in Section 21.6.2 of FreeBSD Handbook, it is not possible to get USB 2.0/3.0 working in the guest OS. There is a forum thread on the topic [4] Bug report 207630 has been created for the issue.

Updating the ieee80211(9) manual page
Hiya, I am considering to update ieee80211(9) manual page with function call definitions found in NetBSD ieee80211(9) manual[1]. Many functions, such as ieee80211_mhz2ieee() ,are defined in sys/net80211/ieee80211.c and are also available in FreeBSD. Would ; 1 ) Updating the manual page locally 2 ) Generating a diff file against the -CURRENT 3 ) Submitting a bug report along with the diff file be the proper approach to get the thing done?

Re: Updating the ieee80211(9) manual page
Thanks Benjamin, Both NetBSD [1] and FreeBSD [2] versions of ieee80211.9 manual pages have been licensed with a 2-cluase BSD license by their respective authors. If I update the FreeBSD ieee80211(9) man page with the information from ieee80211(9) man page from NetBSD, what should the license look like? Would something similar to one given below be OK? .\" Copyright (c) 2004 Bruce M.

Hi there, As I pointerd out in this forum thread, https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/wpa_cli-man-page.53181/#post-298766 the manual page for wpa_cli(8) does not include the definition for the "ping" command.

Re: wpa_cli man page / missing command / patch ready, what's next?
Hi, I found sometime on Sunday to add some bits into the current man page of the wpi_cli(8). Changes I have done; * Updated the SYNPOSIS section to reflect the command line options * Added OPTIONS section for the description of each command line option (such as -v, -a, -G, -g, -B)* Added other supported commands into the COMMANDS sections. I used wpa_cli_commands[] structure contained in the /contrib/wpa/wpa_supplicant/wpa_cli.c file as my reference while adding new commands (I excluded commands that need special compile time options) There is a .diff file I generated against the wpa_cli.8 found in the "head", but not sure about the next step? Shall I create a bug report and submit the diff accordingly?
