I have tested the wireless net with FreeBSD and Linux too.
What is the problem with the Linux?
What is the distribution, version, kernel, application for the wireless
test?

If you think in private too.

Subject: testing laptop based on bsd anyone

Hi
I'm having problems with wireless pen-tests due to the linux drivers
for my wireless card and someone suggested trying one of the BSDs.
Does anyone here use BSD as a base system for pen-testing from? I was
going to go with FreeBSD as I have a little knowledge of it already.
Any tips, tricks or gotchas?

Thanks

Robin
