Hello,

I was told to post to this mailing list from the Discord help chat.

I recently installed a pre-release version of FreeBSD-15 on a new laptop.
I was initially unable to get the iwlwifi wireless working, but I
found a fix that worked for me.

According to dmesg I have: iwlwifi0: Detected Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz.

Initially it wouldn't connect even with the latest FreeBSD firmware for it.

I plugged in a separate run0 usb wifi device and then downloaded
linux-firmware.git.
I copied the firmware from there into /boot/firmware/ and rebooted,
and the iwlwifi device can connect now.

I hope this is useful.

Thanks,

zak
