FreeBSD wireless back to the future
2025-09-27 , D2

FreeBSD WiFi development has regained traction catching up with 15 years.

In this talk I will walk you through the journey of the last years:
* LinuxKPI and wireless drivers. Why I decided to go that route and how it is working out.
* What has taken so long or what came up my away to keep me away from just doing WiFi.
* Let's talk a bit how WiFi development looks like.
* FreeBSD standards support. What's supported now and what's on the way.
* What is missing and where I hope the journey will go.

Bjoern has been a long-term FreeBSD developer with interests in security, virtualization (jails, vnet), computer networking (IPsec, IPv6, and lately again WiFi).
