FreeBSD makes progress in improving laptop support |
 |
The FreeBSD Foundation has published a report documenting progress in getting FreeBSD working better on laptop computers through the Laptop Support and Usability Project. "Highlights include: Laptop Sleep - Sleep using S0ix and s2idle low power states. A new power management driver (acpi_spmc) has been developed that can understand device power requirements and help laptops enter deeper sleep states. Faster wi-fi rates - wi-fi 4 (802.11n) and wi-fi 5 (802.11ac) support is now available to test for data rates at high throughput and very high throughput on modern iwlwi-fi (AX2xx and BExxx) chipsets. Aiding use of Linux wi-fi drivers - To better support Linux wi-fi drivers, work on the translation layer - the Linux Kernel Programming Interface (LinuxKPI) implementation in FreeBSD - has been ongoing. The LinuxKPI layer is an interface that provides API-compatible implementations of many Linux kernel interfaces, greatly simplifying the adaptation of Linux driver source to FreeBSD." More complete details are provided in the project's GitHub repository.
