--- Comment #15 from akmonidaes@pm.me ---
(In reply to Bjoern A. Zeeb from comment #14)

I did try it, with very unusual results.  This was a FreeBSD 13.1 install; =
the
only unusual thing about it was that the install was from a USB drive to
another USB drive.=20=20

The iwlwifi driver does load, it just doesn't *work*.  By that I mean, when
running the initial installation, at the point when bsd-install asks which
wireless interface to configure, I selected the only one available (my lapt=
op's
wireless card), and it scans for networks.  However, despite the fact that
there are dozens of WiFi networks around, it wasn't able to detect any.=20

I rebooted onto the new FreeBSD installation to see if the driver loads on =
the
new installation.  It does.  On boot, there is a notification saying "iwlwi=
fi
driver loaded successfully."  But the new install displays the same behavio=
r:
it scans for wireless networks and can't find any, despite the fact that th=
ere
are many in the area.

This is the output of `lshw` for the wireless card on my Linux machine:

Happy to troubleshoot this more if you need more information.
