FreeBSD Wifibox: Embedded Virtualized Wireless Router
09-22, 16:00–16:45 (Europe/Dublin), Stage End

When we speak about supporting wireless cards and standards, the distance between Linux and FreeBSD is increasing, and that is an important factor when one chooses an OS for one's computer. How about quickly jumping this gap through a creative combination of bhyve, PCI pass-through, and a slim Linux guest? How does it compare to the LinuxKPI-based native solution which has been in the making, is it better or worse, redundant or not, secure enough? Please join me in the search for the answers to these valid questions.
