wifi

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...

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 a Lenovo ThinkPad X230 with the Centrino Advanced-N 6205 card. I've got FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT installed and I can successfully connect to my home WiFi on the 5 GHz band. However, I'm noticing that there is a significant performance hit to my Internet speeds. When I had a Linux distro...

I'm in the situation where my desktop needs to have wifi. It runs the latest RELEASE amd64 version of FreeBSD. I would much rather have wired ethernet, but it's rather difficult to run wires in my current setup. Are there any well-supported, high quality desktop WiFi cards? I've been trying to...

The command "pciconf -lv | grep -B3 network" outputs two things. One being my Ethernet device and the other my Qualcomm Atheros device. Qualcomm Atheros: Device: QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter Class: network ifconfig doesn't seem to detect my wireless device. What can I do to...

Hi there, I have a dell latitude d830 laptop with an intel pro/wireless 4965 wifi card. With windows 7 and with debian gnu/linux I had data transfer rates into the internet at around 240 kB/s (the maximum my provider offers here). Unfortunately there was a serious hard disc crash so I replaced...

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...
