Here: FreeBSD-13.1-RC4-amd64-dvd1.iso written to a USB flash drive, 
installed to an HP ZBook Firefly 15 G8. Bugged during installation.

Initial scan: no network found.

Second scan: found eduroam and other networks. Connection to eduroam 
failed (there wasn't time for me to photograph the details – late 
afternoon, I was leaving the office).

All subsequent scans: no network found.

'Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (2x2) and Bluetooth® 5.2 combo' appears once on 
page 25, again on page 27. I can't guess why there are two listings (and 
I probably don't need to know; this computer will not be mine).

Keyword: bsdinstall, I guess.

– glancing at Ed Maste's comment 0, it's possible that I encountered the 
same, or similar.

I might not have another opportunity to retest with this particular 
hardware, but if I do (maybe early Monday morning): I'll take photographs.

(2022-04-21) was the update to RC4.

offers (amongst other things) a Maintenance and Service Guide and a User 
Guide. Neither page is found, this is typical of HP's websites.
