14.2 dmesg

Starting from FreeBSD 14.3, the iwlwifi driver for Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX101 f=
ails
when running DHCP. The interface initially scans successfully, but once
dhclient starts, the driver encounters repeated errors.

Dmesg extract:

iwlwifi0: WRT: Collecting data: ini trigger 4 fired (delay=3D0ms).
iwlwifi0: Failed to send flush command (-5)
iwlwifi0: flush request fail
wlan0: link state changed to DOWN

iwlwifi0: Couldn't send the SESSION_PROTECTION_CMD: -5
iwlwifi0: Failed to synchronize multicast groups update

iwlwifi0: PHY ctxt cmd error. ret=3D-5
iwlwifi0: Scan failed! ret -5
iwlwifi0: ERROR: lkpi_ic_scan_start: hw_scan returned -5


The final line repeats indefinitely.

Full dmesg output for 14.2 and 14.3, as well as pciconf -lv, are attached f=
or
reference.

Notes:

- The card can scan networks successfully before running DHCP.
- The issue does not occur on FreeBSD 14.2 using the same firmware.
- The firmware appears to load successfully in both versions.
