The 4 minutes notes about running #FreeBSD on the #Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. Honestly not my primary / expected choice but it seems to be doing the job. So I'm gonna go further on this path.

FreeBSD 14.4 on Raspberry Pi Zero 2W

Not convinced lately with OpenBSD on this board , I went searching for another BSD OS to run on the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. According to the documentation, FreeBSD should do fine. Let’s have a look.

Any chance the built-in wifi is working? The last time I tested (to be fair, multiple years ago), it ran fine on the hardware but the wifi chipset wasn't supported.

@joel ah, never mind, I found where you documented "the wireless card (BCM43438) is not recognized".

I'd love to have that working πŸ₯Ί
