Hi there!

According to what's written in the following URLs: http://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?t=41581 , https://wiki.freebsd.org/dev/ath_hal(4)/HardwareSupport (under the 'Chipsets I won't be working on' section) the  TL-WN722N TP-LINK wireless dongle isn't supported on freeBSD since its chipset is based on the AR9271 chipset which isn't supported by FreeBSD.

Now, my question is, since the above mentioned device is supported by Linux via a special atheros firmware module, and since FreeBSD provides a Linux virtualization, will this device work on a FreeBSD system by its Linux virtualization capability?

Regards,

Atar.
