The Sovereign Tech Fund (STF) is significantly investing in open source projects, with €686,400 allocated to the FreeBSD Foundation aiming to enhance its infrastructure and capabilities.
FreeBSD’s current investment will focus on critical improvements in power management, audio support, and notably, enhancements to Wi-Fi capabilities, which have faced challenges with modern hardware.
The STF's support of SerNet, which backs the Samba Project, indicates a broader strategy to foster open source development, addressing complex needs from various government sectors.
A radical solution for FreeBSD's Wi-Fi issues involves Wifibox, a project allowing Linux to control WLAN drivers, highlighting infrastructure gaps in FreeBSD's support for modern hardware.
