Yes, OpenBSD have malo(4) for this wireless adapter. I've tried to ndis(4) but it didn't work. I'm not sure whether it's fault of ndis(4) or Windows NDIS miniport driver I've used. > Is someone working in an port to FreeBSD? I'm willing to try this > driver in an FreeBSD 6.2 AMD64 machine. Thanks in advance. > I'd like to port malo(4) from OpenBSD if time permits. Because I'm not familiar with wireless area it would take very long time(i.e No ETA) and I'm not sure I can manage to port it at the moment. Btw, one of issues I'm aware is lack of firmware distribution. AFAIK we would end up with extracting firmware images from Windows miniport driver. I don't think we(FreeBSD) can ship the firmware images extracted from Windows driver. > Paniago -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon
