WTF, Rogers internet wifi?
Where's the time machine to travel back to 1969 to access #wifi before the internet existed. #Corporate #Fail

This could get really ugly if you rely on #WiFi for Gigabit-plus speeds.
What's a #wireless #networking technology that can reach 1km across some trees?
#WiFi is somewhat too short, it peters out 200m from where I want it.
#Lora looks like it's not fast enough to browse basic Web.
Anything in between which I could use without breaking power regulations here in the EU?

Bon plan Wi-Fi : l’Eero 6 (3 modules) à 130 € seulement http://dlvr.it/TLfpLb #WiFi #Eero6
FreeBSD 14.3 got a greatly improved support for Intel WiFi hardware (iwlwifi driver).
Finally, the AX210 (802.11ac) wifi card in my ThinkPad T480 works perfectly fine without having to rely on the wifibox workarround anymore.
IPv4 works perfectly fine
IPv6 work perfectly fine
Standby and resume woks
Speeds are phenomenal
Also the WiFi configuration is rather easy:
In /etc/rc.conf:
wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode sta regdomain ETSI country DE"
ifconfig_wlan0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
In /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="Hoda-IOT"
scan_ssid=0
psk="my-secure-wifi-key"
priority=10
}
Amazing progress for FreeBSD on laptops :-) I really like it!

@stman @vidak @50htz @theruran @forthy42 I don't think #RONJA's development was actively sabotaged.
In fact, @BNetzA did extend frequency allocations for #BFWA useage and dedicaded the 5,8 GHz band to to #WISP|s that want to provide #broadband in rural areas.
Personally, I do wish for #OpticalLinks more because they are not just less prone to eavesdropping, but also less taxing on the increasingly scarce resource that is #RadioSpectrum and that we should be more mindful of, espechally since the solution to overcrowded #spectrum is rather obnoxious as in "dialing up power consumption to implement ever more complex coding schemes"...
Even if it can only do like 12Mbit/s for USB 2.0 it'll still be practical for many use-cases.
@stman @vidak @50htz @theruran @forthy42 as for "protocol" I'd recommend to take a closer look at #IrDA since there are a shitton of cheap transcievers and implementations available and it would allow this to be reused for a secure P2P data exchange and secure contactless networking solution that is inherently harder (if not basically impossible) to eavesdrop on compared to #Bluetooth and #WiFi.
Not to mention I've not seen any IrDA devices >4MBit/s in the wild, with most being 9600bit/s #serial links fir the most part, and having a direct optical data exchange that takes literal seconds instead of minutes would really have a lot of good use cases i.e. in medical fields, where having a fully sterilizeable computer is kibda important and having a docking cradle with a charging coil and optical "port" would really be appreciated.
In fact ITU G.9991 (G.vlc) & IEEE 802.11bb are worth looking into as well just to see advantages and disadvantages...

Don’t get me wrong. We’ve had the most wonderful holiday.
But the WiFi on the ship, whilst is good for some things, for others it’s just awful.
Looking forward to getting back to normal service!

Big news for FreeBSD laptop users!
Wi-Fi on FreeBSD is finally getting the overhaul it deserves.
Modern driver support (like iwlwifi)
WPA3 + next-gen protocol updates
Up to 10x faster speeds in 14.3
Real progress, real usability
Check out how the FreeBSD Foundation is helping shape a wireless future that just works: https://freebsdfoundation.org/blog/the-road-to-better-wi-fi-on-freebsd/
If you've held off on FreeBSD for lack of Wi-Fi support—2025 might change your mind.

Je sais pas si quelqu'un ici peut m'aider... J'ai un ordi avec une carte WiFi ASUS PCE-BE6500 (MEDIATEK Corp. Device 7925 -- Kernel driver in use: mt7925e) avec le WoWLAN activé pour les backups nocturnes (magic-packet seulement). Le problème, c'est qu'il se réveille bien pour se faire sauvegarder, mais aussi un peu n'importe quand. J'ai remarqué que plus il y avait de trafic sur le WiFi, plus il se réveillait souvent. Une idée ?

Hmmmm, wie die Entscheidungsfindung zum öffentlichen #WLAN in #Norddeich wohl ablief?
"Boah ne, ein offenes WLAN ist zu unsicher und dann mahnt man uns sicher ab, wenn wieder jemand rumpiratisiert."
"Ja, dann mach ein Passwort rein!""
"Okay, dann nehmen wir 12345678.“
"Top, der Gerechtigkeit wurde Genüge getan!"
Wtf.
