I even resorted to plugging in 2 external wifi dongles, neither one of which i ever made work. but at least i found rtwn drivers in /boot/kernel. i know the wifi function is woven into the bluetooth controller, but I saw no fathomable (by me) connection to a driver. > I need help, Please. direct answers as to the driver name, links to places to read, whatever anybody is willing to share! > > > > Gary Corell > Ya gotta see time beyond the end of your nose > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-arm@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-arm-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > > Hi, FreeBSD does not have a working driver for the onboard WiFi of the RPIs.
