FreeBSD Developers Deciding What To Do For WiFi With FreeBSD 15: Stable Or Unstable


FreeBSD developers have been working a lot on their wireless/WiFi driver support in recent months as part of their broader initiative for improving their operating system support for laptops

FreeBSD 15 is set to be released later this year and will likely declare their wireless support as "unstable" to allow time for making future breaking modifications. However, this also means that during the lifetime of FreeBSD 15, we may introduce breaking changes affecting out-of-tree and in-tree drivers, userland-kernel interfaces, and chipsets. Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
