    Hi all,

     

    I've read 2-3 archived posts to the -CURRENT mailing list dating back to
    September about the atheros driver on FreeBSD not supporting the DLink
    DWL-530. I haven't seen much about it since, and a patch that was
    available then didn't work for this particular model either. Before I
    go out and buy a DWL-520 instead, can anyone tell me if this model is
    now supported on the atheros driver?

     

    My goal is to use this NIC in my FreeBSD gateway and use it as an access
    point as well. This card seems great because it's got great speed,
    backward compatibility and a detachable antenna that's more convenient
    than if it were hiding behind the tower.

     

    Thanks,

    Sandro
