The NetBSD Wi-Fi stack is being reworked to support newer protocols, higher speeds, and fine-grained locking using code from FreeBSD. As part of this work, all existing NetBSD Wi-Fi drivers need to be reworked to the new Wi-Fi code base.

Successful completion of this project requires you to have access to hardware that is already supported by NetBSD but not yet converted. See the wifi driver state matrix for a list of devices to convert.

It is increasingly difficult to find the relevant hardware on sites like ebay, if you do not have one of the affected devices, this project is probably not for you.

When applying for this project, please note which driver(s) you want to convert.
