wifi

I know this question has probably been asked a thousand times here (sorry) but I'm in need of a quality wireless USB dongle with very good range (i.e. antenna). Currently I'm using an Edimax nano dongle that I bought off Amazon which connects fine, but the signal is very weak. I'm sure with a...

I have asked a similar question in this thread(59187#post-342471) but I'm not the author of the thread so I figure a new thread would be a good idea. My laptop comes with Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 wireless card and I have all the reason to believe that it will not be supported well through its...

Hi everyone, I upgraded to FreeBSD 11 yesterday. Seems like you can't manage interface settings with ifconfig anymore. For instance, I used to do this: ifconfig ath0 ether ff:ff:ff:... ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev ath0 Now, I can't do anything to ath0. If I set the mac address on wlan0, it...
