Hi list,

I see in the FAQ that the Apple Mac Mini M2 is a supported platform[0]
and that the WiFi is supported via: bwfmv(4).  I had two questions about
WiFi support:

1. Is Host AP mode supported on the Mac Mini M2?  The man pages appear
to imply that this is supported, but I wanted to double-check.

2. Does: bwfmv(4) also support the 10 Gigabit mode that is available as
an option for the Mac Mini M2 ?[1]  I am aware that OpenBSD may not
support full bandwidth at 10 Gbps, but would it support a bandwidth
higher than 1 Gbps if the 10Gbps option is selected when purchasing a Mini ?

Thanks,

- J

A small correction .. wifi is via bwfm(4) and not bwfmv(4) (not sure where I picked up that extra v).

Wow, I just noticed another error in my original message:

The 10 GB option is for wired Ethernet.  So my second question should be is 10 Gbps supported by OpenBSD via the wired Ethernet adaptor ?

Thanks again,
