Since 7.0 up to 8.2-RELEASE the wireless worked without problems (besides the known firmware limitations and so). Here[1] there is more information about the problem and the steps I followed to try to fix it. I get the error also with the GENERIC kernel. My loader.conf contains the following lines: wlan_load="YES" firmware_load="YES" iwi_bss_load="YES" iwi_ibss_load="YES" iwi_monitor_load="YES" As suggested, this could be ACPI related since deactivating ACPI in the bootloader results in a panic coming suspicioiusly from the iwi_detach function. No core is generated despite I have the proper configuration (crash too early?)

After that, create a wlan0 device: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev iwi0 And then try to bring it up ifconfig wlan0 up >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
