Looking for a port of the ath11k driver

2023-01-04 Thread Robert Clausecker
Good evening!

I am in the process of porting FreeBSD to the Windows 2023 Dev Kit
(Project Volterra).  This is a somewhat affordable high performance
ARM system and as such an interesting FreeBSD target.

The system comes with a Qualcomm QCNFA765 802.11ax card, apparently
supported through the ath11k driver on Linux.  This driver is
BSD3CLAUSE licensed and might perhaps be portable to FreeBSD.

It would be great to have support for this card.  Is there anybody
who is interested in writing a driver / porting this driver to
FreeBSD?

Yours,
Robert Clausecker

Hi Bjoern,

This sounds phantastic!  Please keep me posted on your efforts!
Let me know if there is anything (such as testing) I can assist
with.

Yours,

Thank you for your response.  While it would be great if that worked, I don't
know enough about these kernel subsystems to add the mising bits and pieces
myself.  I'll try a different adapter in the meanwhile.

Yes, the package is installed.

Is the ASUS USB-AC53 WLAN adapter supported?

2024-11-27 Thread Robert Clausecker
I have just purchased an ASUS USB-AC53 USB WLAN adapter.

This adapter identifies itself as follows:

ugen0.2:  at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) 
pwr=ON (500mA)

  bLength = 0x0012 
  bDescriptorType = 0x0001 
  bcdUSB = 0x0210 
  bDeviceClass = 0x  
  bDeviceSubClass = 0x 
  bDeviceProtocol = 0x 
  bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040 
  idVendor = 0x0b05 
  idProduct = 0x184c 
  bcdDevice = 0x0210 
  iManufacturer = 0x0001  
  iProduct = 0x0002  <802.11ac NIC>
  iSerialNumber = 0x0003  <123456>
  bNumConfigurations = 0x0001 

There's a match for this driver in /usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/rtw88/rtw8822bu.c:

{ USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO(0x0b05, 0x184c, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff),
  .driver_info = (kernel_ulong_t)&(rtw8822b_hw_spec) }, /* ASUS U2 */

but if I load rtw88, nothing happens.

Is there any step I'm missing to make this adapter work?

Driver for Qualcomm QCNFA765?

2024-11-16 Thread Robert Clausecker
Greetings!

I just obtained a Lenovo Thinkpad T16 AMD Gen2 with a
Qualcomm QNFA765 WLAN module.  Is support for this module
present or planned for FreeBSD?  If not, what other options
do I have?

Yours,
Robert Clausecker
