Hi, everyone!

Just wanted to say that I just updated to the most recent kernel (I'm tracking development branch) and my wifi card started to work:

$ uname -a
DragonFly hk.ha.zta.lk 4.5-DEVELOPMENT DragonFly 7fd879c-DEVELOPMENT #0: Thu May 26 22:29:50 CEST 2016     root at hk.ha.zta.lk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X86_64_GENERIC  x86_64
$ dmesg | grep ral0

$ dmesg | grep wlan0
wlan0: driver didn't set altq_maxlen
wlan0: MAC address: 00:24:7e:87:7f:af

Not sure if this "driver didn't set altq_maxlen" is OK, but otherwise everything works so far. I'm sending this message from this machine via wifi.

Big thank you to everyone who made it happen!

I'm using DragonFly for a while now. A few years on my personal server at hetzner.de and since recently on my home desktop machine.

The desktop machine is quite new, so wifi didn't work when I installed dragonfly. I tried FreeBSD, but I had some problems with video card driver.
Wifi was not that important, but I really liked being able to backup all my data from hetzner's server using hammer mirror-copy, so I chose DragonFly over FreeBSD on my desktop as well. And now wifi works too. It's great!
