wifi

I have a Lenovo Flex 14 from Amazon, and I have been hoping to install FreeBSD on it. I have experience with Linux (Arch, Gentoo, Void, and most of the generic Desktop Distributions), but the package systems (pacman, emerge, xbps, apt-get) never seem to appeal to me, whereas FreeBSD's system...

I'm currently on Arch Linux and I'm interested in trying with FreeBSD with KDE Plasma (and likely bspwm as an alternative session) on my laptop again after quite some time, and I'm wondering what the way to go there is for managing networks, so easily connecting to and switching between public...

I would like to apologise in advance, if this is straight-forward, and/or answered elsewhere on the forum--I have tried for the past few hours to look hard before I dared ask any questions, and I combed through the WiFi section of the Handbook, etc. Basically, in short, I am using an EliteBook...

I've installed FreeBsd 12 on my laptop and Wifi, although works, is quite slow. It's way slower than it was at Linux on the same laptop. Is that how it is in Freebsd?

Hello Forum Users, I have an issue with the WiFi of a home-office I set up for a friend. Most of the time things work as expected, but about once every month the system gives my friend real trouble. Instead of connecting to the pre-configured SSID, the FreeBSD PC acting as his internet gateway...

Hello, friends. I followed the directions in the FreeBSD Handbook and everything went really well. I made a mistake the first time and made a 32 bit module but I loaded it and unloaded, no problem, didn't show ndis0 under ifconfig but when I made the 64-Bit module, as soon as I kldload the...

My laptop uses the RTL8188EE chipset for WiFi, which recently landed support in FreeBSD with this commit. I'd like to be able to use this new driver on my laptop while remaining as close to a "stable" system as possible. What's the best way to go about doing this? I'm not sure if the driver...

I just installed on my desktop tower and was wondering do I get antennas and plug into the 9560 card are do I need to get something else? thanks.

I work a lot on guest networks and most require me to accept their terms and conditions that are presented in a webpage. How can I accept these with a fresh install to gain access to the network?

How can I configure Ralink rt3290 wifi adapter device for wifi connection?

Hello FreeBSD Users, I have installed FreeBSD on my old Apple MacBook Pro(2015). Before installing FreeBSD I have tried the Debian based Linux on my old Apple MacBook pro. Everything is working fine with Debian os. But I wanted to move it to BSD OS really badly. Now I have a problem to make...

Hello FreeBSD forums! I'd love to make the switch to BSD as a current Linux user. However, my laptop is an Acer Aspire R5-571T-57Z0 and I can't seem to find the correct drivers. I know that in the installation of Debian, I had to grab extra firmware files. In looking around elsewhere, I found...

Hi, I purchased a Edimax EW-7811UTC WiFi USB adapter because someone in the #freebsd IRC channel told me his EW-7811ULC USB adapter was automatically detected by FreeBSD, I was hoping EW-7811UTC would work as it is similar but has higher possible download speeds. Unfortunately, it's not...

I have had captive portal on my bucket list for a while. I want to pipe my IP cams to a neighborhood WAP portal via Zoneminder. Anybody using FreeBSD for a captive portal? pfSense really had a nice implementation. What do you recommend? Obviously I looked around and see WifiDog and some others...

Hello, I just hot my new raspberry pi 2. I see a big fat Broadcom chip on it that says "BCM2836" and I'm sure that this one should be the wireless card. I'm using a standard image for RPI2 with nothing custom on it. I have downloaded the source and on the default conf file I see that it's...

Hi again! This time I want to know how to create a wireless network (WiFi). I have 11.1-RELEASE-p6 on a i386 processor. And yes, also I have a wifi USB adapter. It is a TP-LINK TL-WN722N. I want to know, what I need to configure to be able to use this USB as an antenna? Thanks (again)

Hi guys, I have this problem I can not sort out, I hope you can give me some ideas. The story is I made an Wireless Access point in FreeBSD-11.1 running in an BeagleBone Black. My wifi adapter is an Alfa AWUS036HN, recognized as "run0", 802.11g. [n not available] The thing works, the olny...

Hi all, Apologies in advance for being unsure where best to post. I've recently noticed upon reviewing my home network that my VZW Samsung S7 smg930v appears as type: 'FreeBSD' rather than 'Samsung Galaxy' or 'unknown'. This lead me here. I wonder if this is anything to be concerned about...
