[-- Attachment #1 --] I have tried loading if_iwlwifi at boot by both /boot/loader.conf and /etc/rc.conf. In the /boot/loader case, the firmware fails to load with the message "File size way too small!" for all available versions of microcode including "wlwifi-cc-a0-68.ucode" which should be used for my AX200. For /etc/rc.conf, there appears to be a race condition where the network tries to start before the microcode load has completed. If I boot to single-user mode, I can kldload if_iwlwifi and then exit and the interface comes up and wlan0 associates properly. Both issues appear to be rces of some sort. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 [-- Attachment #2 --] <div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">I have tried loading if_iwlwifi at boot by both /boot/loader.conf and /etc/rc.conf.
