6.0 thanks
I recently did a fresh install of 6.0 (& immediate CVS-update to -stable) on a laptop that had been at 5.8-stable. I've been installing OpenBSD since 2.8 (fall 2000), and I have to say this was about the cleanest install yet. Everything "just works" (even my various non-standard system hacks).

trouble shooting print errors
I am getting "Broken Pipe" and or "Scheduler not responding" when attempting to print from a laser desk printer directly attached to usb. OpenBSD 6.0 recognizes the printer in dmesg and when plugged into the usb port. I have been running OpenBSD for several years but never tried to attach a printer. I also have downloaded a cups ppd driver for the printer and placed it in the cups ppd directory. If someone can just point me where to research these errors I should be able to determine the cause and maybe get the brother HL2140 directly attached usb printer working. I see no error messages in dmesg which relate to printing. Thanks in advance.

Re: PCI Express wireless adapter supported under OpenBSD
Ok, sorry. After searching about HostAP, as: https://w1.fi/hostapd/ It seems Prism Chips run: http://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-current/man4/wi.4 Quote: Host AP In this mode the driver acts as an access point (base station) for other cards.

Indeed, BCM4366 won't work. There are many Atheros AR9280 devices on sites such as ebay. And some vendors like pcengines still sell cards with this chip. You could also search for other chip names listed in the athn(4) man page.

Microserver Gen8 is a fantastic box to deploy this type of scenarios. My idea is to buy a SSD drive, configure this harddisk as RAID0 in B120i and fire up OpenBSD ..

Many thanks Stefan and Ze for your answers. But thinking about it maybe it is a good idea to limit throughput to 150Mbps or less at this first stage. I can wait until OpenBSD will support more data rates. I have discoverd that Asus AC88 AC3100 uses BCM4366 chip, but if I am not wrong this chip is not supported under OpenBSD, is it right? Thanks.

The Microserver Gen8s are really nice machines for the application you describe, once you set the disk controller to something sensible (as previously reported). When it comes to your primary question I don't have a good answer, but in case those boards are not suppurted it's worth keeping in mind one other option: get the highest quality access point or 'wireless router' you can afford, configure it as access point only (no dhcp or routing, leave that to the OpenBSD tools) - Peter -- Peter N.

Well, given the lack of 40Mhz channel support, the best we can do in theory is 72.2 Mbit/s (20 MHz channel with SGI, see mcsindex.com). But since we don't support Tx aggregation yet either, protocol overhead eats up a huge chunk of that. The peak iwm(4) Tx rate I have measured with tcpbench(1) is about 20 Mbps. Receive can be faster because 11n APs usually send aggregated frames and we do support receiving such frames.

I'm afraid you won't get 300 Mbps from any wifi device on OpenBSD. Our 802.11n support is still in very early stages. The best access point OpenBSD can offer uses obsolete AR9280 Atheros hardware with 802.11a data rates (theoretical maximum 54Mbit/s). 802.11n is not yet supported by any driver which has hostap support. For your kinds of requirements, the best solution is an external access point connected to your OpenBSD box with gigabit ethernet.

PCI Express wireless adapter supported under OpenBSD
Hi all, I would like to install OpenBSD on a HP Microserver Gen8 to act as a firewall and hostap. I am searching what components I need and I have a doubt about what wireless interface I need to buy to use it as a hostap under OpenBSD. I have found only these: - Asus PCE-AC88 Wireless 5GHz PCI-E AC3100 - Asus PCE-AC68 PCI-E WiFi Dual-Band AC1900 Searching in ASUS's web, I didn't find any info about what chip use these adapters. Are they supported under OpenBSD? Do you recommend any other wireless adpater (PCI-e)?? Throughput needs to be 300 Mbps, at least. Thanks. -- Greetings, C. L. Martinez
