Windows shows 4 networking devices: Intel wireless bluetooth, Intel blue tooth RFCOMM TDI, Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165, Realtek PCIe GBE controller. I got this system because as of 10.3 FreeBSD had support for Wireless-AC 3165. uname -a FreeBSD mneme.boltsys.com 11.1-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p4 #0: Tue Nov 14 06:12:40 UTC 2017 root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 pciconf -lv pcib1@pci0:0:1:0: class=0x060400 card=0x380a17aa chip=0x19018086 rev=0x07 hdr=0x01 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Xeon E3-1200 v5/E3-1500 v5/6th Gen Core Processor PCIe Controller (x16)' class = bridge subclass = PCI-PCI none5@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x42108086 chip=0x31668086 rev=0x99 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 Plus Bluetooth' class = network re0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x004717aa chip=0x816810ec rev=0x15 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.' device = 'RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller' class = network subclass = ethernet I think the none5@ means the iwm driver does not support this card. I had added the following to /boot/loader.conf: if_iwm_load="YES" iwm3160fw_load="YES" iwm7260fw_load="YES" iwm7265fw_load="YES" iwm8000Cfw_load="YES" On the next boot that got: rgephy0: PHY 1 on miibus0 rgephy0: none, 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 10baseT-FDX-flow, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 100baseTX-FDX-flow, 1000ba seT-FDX, 1000baseT-FDX-master, 1000baseT-FDX-flow, 1000baseT-FDX-flow-master, auto, auto-flow This I think is an error as RGEPHY(4): rgephy - RealTek RTL8168/8169/8110/8211 series 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet PHY driver. It should be iwm0 I would think. Anyway it can not be configured. ifconfig rgephy0 add inet 192.168.2.124 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig: interface rgephy0 does not exist ifconfig wlan create wlandev inet 192.168.2.124 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Device not configured ifconfig wlan create rgephy0 inet 192.168.2.124 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig: must specify a parent device (wlandev) when creating a wlan device ifconfig wlan create wlandev rgephy0 inet 192.168.2.124 netmask 255.255.255.0 ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Device not configured It seems to be an Intel design requirement to add stuff to invalidate FreeBSD wireless support. I think FreeBSD 7 or earlier was the last time wifi worked for me. Anyone know if there are plans to support any of the usb wireless devices? _____ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com support@safeport.com Voice: 301-217-9220 Fax: 301-217-9277
