Can anybody recomend a decent external wifi adapter that works with all the BSDs? reddit / BSD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mkzmch · 2022-05-03 10:13 Hey everyone, am in the market for a new laptop and since I need a newer laptop with one of those last gen Ryzen processors it is nearly impossible to find a laptop with a wifi adapter that works out of the box. What are some good and compact wifi adapters that you guys use with *BSDs? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2022-05-03 10:29 [removed] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jaypatelani · 2022-05-03 11:24 This might help https://bsd-hardware.info/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RemoteBroccoli · 2022-05-03 15:53 https://alfa-network.eu/amp/awus036nha It's still developed, it's been working on almost everything I've had. I think it's even someone who wrote a driver for plan 9. This is the absolute best. And you can change the antenna. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2022-05-03 17:05 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2022-05-03 17:05 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- r3dd1t0n · 2022-05-03 17:06 Second this. Can confirm this hardware has worked on just about everything Linux based and BSD based I’ve run in the past.

That driver is now included (as of OpenBSD7.1) in the installed version, meaning you don't have to connect first *and then* get wifi working. This is what I use for my MBA, as the onboard is likely to never be supported. I don't know about other BSDs, but I figure if it's in the OpenBSD installer, it probably works everywhere.
