<p>So, I had a bit of time over the weekend, and spent it doing a bit of hacking around.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I had re-installed <a href="http://www.pcbsd.org">PC-BSD</a> on my HP EliteBook R810. I used 10.0.2, and everything but the wireless looked good. I decided to try to get the wireless working with the internal WNIC. <a href="http://www.duckland.org/2014/04/freebsd-challenge,-day-17">Previously</a>, I used an external dongle to get WiFi working, but it was a pain to remember to pull it out, so I decided to try again.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I updated the base OS to 10-CURRENT, and then 'patched' the source tree using the info I found <a href="https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?t=35467">in this forum post</a>. Once I rebooted, and used the PC-BSD tools to enable the device, things worked! Since this was only last night, I need to test it a bit to make sure it stands up to load.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is a <a href="https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=169433">PR</a>, and support <strong>has</strong> been added to HEAD. I am going try to write a patch to get this added before then. I will need to see if I can figure out how to do that. :)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Since my work laptop uses the same WNIC, I am one step closer to being able to install it on the work machine.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I am going to see about trying to use <strong><em>dragon</em></strong> as my non-work daily driver and shake out what I need to do, so I may be restarting the <a href="http://www.duckland.org/tag/30DayChallenge">30 Day Challenge</a> again, but a lot of that depends on how work goes.</p>
