Does it mean that man page needs an update? Anyway, I guess being tired from EuroBSDCon trip back home made me forget post the mandatory data, so I appologize. I run 15.0-RELEASE and the card is # pciconf -lv iwlwifi0@pci0:1:0:0: iwlwifi0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x028000 rev=0x1a hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x2725 subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0x0024 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Wi-Fi 6E(802.11ax) AX210/AX1675* 2x2 [Typhoon Peak]' class = network Is it new enough?
