Sorry, it's not going to work exactly how you imagine. I would recommend you try hunting down 2 supported athn(4) cards. Search for the chips listed in the athn(4) man page (i.e. up to AR9287, anything more recent won't work yet). Finding them is not very easy unfortunately but it's the best supported hardware for access points right now. And along with that get a suitable board with either 2 minipci slots (e.g. some alix boards do) or 2 minipcie slots (e.g. APU) depending on which kind of cards you found. And plug one antenna onto each card. There are cases that come with 2 antenna holes drilled, if drilling them yourself is not an option.

PCEngines offers the Wistron CM9. Unfortunately I found that the RF-output power is far too low to be useful as an AP. The Compex WLM200X works better. Both cards need a dual band antenna. Both card's layout is for two antennas. I don't know of any card with only one. My trials with the WLM200X are not over. Clients connect fine to the AP on 2.4GHz and 5GHz but I didn't manage to assign an IP to the clients with DHCP although my DHCP server is working fine via wire in the same network. Up to now I couldn't manage to find out if that is a shortcoming of my understanding/setup or a shortcoming of the athn driver or a shortcoming of the hardware. Setup: Bridge--with--athn0---vether0---vr1 Dhcp server listens on vether0 Cheers Eike -- Eike Lantzsch ZP6CGE
alix 1e - 2,4/5 GHz Wifi card
Hello mailing list users, I was asked to repeat this question here. I am searching a wifi network card, which has the following properties: - provide a network in the 2,4 GHz and the 5 GHz bandwidths at the same time - has just one antenna (the alix 1e has just one slot for antenna) - is supported by OpenBSD (obviously, version does not matter) - fits into a mini-pci slot Can someone help me to find such a card? `man rel(4)` did not show any useable cards. Thank you in advance and kind regards, Dirk
