I don't have time to do as much free project investigation as I used to (or would like to), so I really enjoy these features.

I wonder how long until wireless N drivers are ported across to Haiku.

It was added in the buildup to 8.1, but there was a backport to the 7.x series. I think it's awesome that the Atheros people are working closely with Adrian to write this driver; as others have pointed out this work goes far beyond just the FreeBSD ecosystem. Thanks guys for your hard work.Edited 2011-12-28 15:05 UTC Wed, 28 Dec 2011 15:04:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (joekiser) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?501504 http://www.osnews.com/thread?501504 OpenBSD has drivers for several 802.11n capable devices, but they only work on 802.11a/b/g mode, not n.

There are 802.11 stack changes required to properly support 802.11n and it's a fair amount of work. Wed, 28 Dec 2011 20:01:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Brynet) Comments
