    The current series looks the same physically, there is nothing indicating it is the .R other than the price sticker from the store as they all come in the plastic holder. The actual model and .R is only on the box that the resellers receive with a quantity of cards. I've never figured out how to get Wireless working in Linux or *BSD as I was already on a GiGe ethernet connection anyways and I had a Atheros card(s), that was when Intel wasn't good for Wireless but the best for wired in the 1990s.

    The driver is not my concern. I'm on static IP as my machine actually serves as a server which is why I prefer the 1Gbps built-in Intel Ethernet. I just never figured out how to do DHCP on the WiFi side.

    I pass through the DHCP from the Cisco Router through the Engenius A/P. The A/P has a static, so that it will never change IP's on me. I set the Static on the A/P. Then the Edge Router keeps it sticky in its table.

    The one good thing is that with Linux, you get more diagnostic info as you can see.

    I never really looked into it as I prefer wired to wireless since I don't physically use the FreeBSD machine anyways except through ssh. I've always used static IPs on both Linux and FreeBSD on wired connections so wireless is something I never really had time to go figure out especially when it concerns DHCP as I haven't needed to use DHCP on anything with my CIDR/27 block.

    All of the following are wired devices: 2 A/P's, 3 Streaming devices, a Desktop. Then of course at the shelf downstairs, there is the NAS, a Sam Knows box, Lantronix Airprint server, Engenius POE injector for the Engenius A/P.

    I posted an updated picture of my network setup downstairs. The biggest issue I kept running into with the Gateway sitting on the metal shelf. Was that I was finding condensation underneath it. So I used a couple pieces of 1/4 round to help lift the Gateway up just enough to get some airflow under it.

    Unless I go to a Domain setup. The Sticky IP's on the Cisco are holding up well, unless I have to do a table clear because of conflicts. The roaming devices like tablets, laptops, smartphones are the only devices that have Dynamic IP's on my network. Right now I just cannot see going 100% static, unless I start running into some major issues, or decide to play around with a Domain controller and Radius. If I decide to do that, I would use a Raspberry PI for that part.

    I have gotten to where I really do not want to spend 8 hours a day dealing with the network, so I made it as simple as I could.

    The last time I attempted to do a Wifi DHCP on FreeBSD was in the early 2000's, already have enough things to so didn't really mess with it as I run and own a ISP that I control remotely so it was already busy enough getting new boxes configured remotely to worry about the wifi as the notebook never moves since it sits under the table and with the Cisco 10GiGE Catalyst switch less than 3 feet away and the WiFi router routes back to same FreeBSD machine which is the outgoing gateway so the WiFi from the same machine won't serve any purpose as it's already providing WAN services and besides, it could be the card being a Atheros was not fully supported as these are not the Atheros that one buys but it was taken out of a Netgear FWAG114 Business WiFi router which had the SuperG 108Mbps except the SuperG didn't work in Windows XP either so the cards might be made to work only in the router as all I can get from it was 54Mbps. Tutorials didn't begin to be available another 10 years later... Basically, I'm talking about something from 15-16 years ago.
