Announcement here (http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=09733). Bob, maybe this one fixed the wireless problems you were having with the previous version.

Yeah, and I'd already commented thus, different stream again...

I thought it was a newer version than you had.

I believe it is, slightly, but it's still based on 12.0-CURRENT, which is a testing and/or unstable release, so no big deal; further, I believe the wifi support will come from FreeBSD, not PC-BSD/TrueOS anyway... And I'm pretty convinced that it's never going to come for my particular wifi card, so I'll have to find a compatible upgrade for my laptop, ideally sporting wifi-AC, before I'll get another chance to try. Realistically, not as high on my list of priorities as multi-microSD cards, f'r'instance... And it's definitely time to upgrade to a laptop sporting both wifi-AC and USB 3.0+; I have no abiding complaints about my laptop beyond lagging technologies...
