Thanks for the headsup. I am aware of the limitations and the manpage/Network FAQ gave me a lot of needed info. But I wanted the "best" possible experience for the few times where I really need wi-fi to work. And while the FAQ lists all the supported drivers my experience is, that the drivers change so often from model to model that I lose track most of the time. So when I can get some first hand experience I am glady taking it. As a sidenot, this is the first ever Thinkpad that didn´t work "out of the box" with OpenBSD. Only thing left for the E485 now is the lid closed -> wakeup "problem" but that´s something I can dig into by myself and if everything fails, I wait for Theo to get it working on his one.
have a nice weekend and thanks for all the replies, Fabian _______________________________ Always exit with 42 to return the answer. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Saturday, August 10, 2019 11:50 AM, Tony Boston <tboston@bsd.services> wrote: > keep in mind that iwm(4) doesn’t have 802.11ac functionality > > from the manpage: > The iwm driver does not support any of the 802.11ac capabilities offered > by the adapters.
