On the one hand the ethernet compatibility layer can easily be
updated, the wireless part on the other hand is a lot more impacted at
least. The API changes impacted some wireless drivers more than
others. This probably won't go without regressions.
Would that bring USB wireless adapter support? I'm guessing, because
FreeBSD currently seems to have that. Along with probably more current
supported devices, but the USB option seems like a big step forward.
It's a lot to ask, to perform the transplant surgery on a laptop to
install the Atheros card that seems to be the only somewhat safe bet
on Haiku at this time, but if there were a USB alternative, anyone who
really needs wireless could go that way.
