Make WiFi go faster.

.I
$100
.R
.br
We already live with a theoretical hard limit of 54mbps. In practice, no WiFi card supported by 9front comes anywhere close to achieving that hard limit. Some newer cards (Intel 7260, 8265, 9620) even exhibit
.I slower
throughput than older cards. All of this combined with 9p latency really sucks. Please make WiFi go fast and I will pay you $100. Acceptable results include "cards capable of throughput approaching 54mbps consistently exhibit throughput approaching 54mbps" and "cards capable of throughput greater than 54mbps consistently exhibit throughput greater than 54mbps."

Must Have (20€)
* File management (full CRUD support).
* Works with OneDrive.
* Works with Sharepoint Drives.
* Works with official Microsoft servers (office.com stuff).
Should Have
* User keys in factotum.
* No complicated configuration. Auth info, drive (and maybe server?) should be enough.
* Native C preferred (9front).
Nice to Have (+5€)
* Access versions: File versions are provided by OneDrive/Sharepoint. Use these.
* Lazy caching: OneDrive protocol provides sha1sums. Files could be stored in a persistent cache (simple directory?). cat file >/dev/null& for manually caching is fine.
* some way to show files are cached (maybe with ls?).

Linuxemu is the Linux treadmill. Since the point of all this is being able to run software not supported in Plan 9, rather than simply worshipping Linux, OpenBSD makes more sense as a base platform, since the contents of its ports tree are both 1.) (now) reasonably up to date, and 2.) to some extent, pre-checked for abrigations of sanity. Syscalls are still out of control, but let's examine the real cost/benefit of the emulation approach.

improve TLS support
.R
.I
$10
.R
.br
The tls(3) device implements the record layer protocols of Transport Layer Security version 1.0 and Secure Sockets Layer version 3.0. It does not implement the handshake protocols, which are responsible for mutual authentication and key exchange. 9fans has debated what form expansion of TLS should take. Wanted: more ciphers, support for user certificates, support for certificate verification. ECDSA! ECDHE! Also: SNI support in tlssrv.
Some work has already been done:
