Hello Vladimir,

I installed wireshark-2.6.5_2 in my FreeBSD (CURRENT from December last
year). I tried to enable from

	View --> [x] Wireless Toolbar

but this gives an error about "Failed to initialize ws80211" in the GUI
and I can not set the channel or Frequency. Is this not possible with
FreeBSD? In this case I'd have to look for a Linux laptop or even a
Windows one (which I'd hate). Thanks for a hint.
