If you think that's bad, try wifi on FreeBSD

I've read that the only way to get usable speeds is to set your wifi device up inside a linux container.

Or to get anything past wifi 4, or to use 5ghz

It's bullshit because there are many products on the market running freebsd with great wifi (PlayStation as one example)

Meh, I still generally prefer them. Not like everyone would be able to use the PlayStation wifi hardware anyway

Wait, actually? I have WiFi 6 at home and its on 5Ghz

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah 6e (not 6) utilises 6ghz

Could you tell me how I could do that? I don't think FreeBSD jails support anything other than the linux compatibility layer

At least I found someone who likes Yorushika!

Cut her some slack, she's barely 21. At 21 I was a nugget of dung when it came to technicalities like this
