> Wireless support for 802.11n has been added.

Wait, What?

[stock_toaster → kimputin]

My guess is this part:

  The iwn(4) driver was added, providing support for the
  Intel® Centrino™ Wireless-N 105 and 135 chipsets. [r266770]

from: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.0R/relnotes.html#drivers...

[asveikau → stock_toaster]

That driver was on OpenBSD for a long time. I put FreeBSD on a machine a year or so ago and really missed that driver. Maybe now I can get rid of the USB dongle I've been using instead.

iwn(4) has been present for a long time. I suspect you mean iwm(4)?

[asveikau → loeg]

You're right. Also happy to report that machine is working way better now.

[mioelnir → stock_toaster]

I think that should read that these chipsets were added to iwn, considering iwn has been in since at least 8.0 (going by my very non-scientific manpage search).

[loeg → kimputin]

Typo -- should read additional wireless support has been added.

[hackuser → kimputin]

IIRC, OpenBSD added 802.11n support in a recent release.

On: Linode is being DDoS'ed in Dallas

[kimputin]

Yet again, another DDoS. Is this an specific client this time or the target is Linode itself?
