So, I had a bit of time over the weekend, and spent it doing a bit of hacking around.
|
|
|
|
I had re-installed `PC-BSD <http://www.pcbsd.org>`_ 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. :doc:`Previously <freebsd-challenge-day-17>` , 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.

I updated the base OS to 10-CURRENT, and then 'patched' the source tree using the info I found `in this forum post <https://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?t=35467>`_ . 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.

There is a `PR <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=169433>`_ , and support **has** 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. :)

Since my work laptop uses the same WNIC, I am one step closer to being able to install it on the work machine.
|

|
I am going to see about trying to use **dragon** as my non-work daily driver and shake out what I need to do, so I may be restarting the `30 Day Challenge <http://www.duckland.org/tag/30DayChallenge>`_ again, but a lot of that depends on how work goes.
