FreeBSD 13.5 also adds support for Purism keyboards in conjunction with Coreboot, moving Realtek 8156/8156B network driver support to the URE driver, and support for Brainboxes USB-to-serial adapters. The man page for the AGP driver has also been updated ot properly indicate its planned removal within FreeBSD 15.0.

The UFS1 file-system also overcomes its Y2038 problem to 7 February 2106, micro-second precision disk latency within gstate, and a variety of network driver updates.
