i would choose(and i chose) an external access point. i've been trying for a
long time to do something sane in terms of an access point, but i realized that
the next thing Theo will cut out from obsd would be the 802.11 subsystem. and
don't believe what the same bwfm promises, although 11ac mode is declared
there, but in fact it works like 11n. an external access point is the only
variant. except, of course, the variant to leave obsd. the very concept
professed by obsd will not allow to be anywhere except in the tail of progress.
obsd is not about how to live, it's about how to survive.
if you still choose bwfm, then know that somewhere once every ten downloads the
system will freeze
