(?) Hmm, did you only enable if_iwm="YES" in loader.conf initially then and not, e.g., iwm9260fw_load="YES" as well (depending on card, there a list in man 4 iwm). > For anyone stumbling in the same thing - here is the explanation/solution: Thanks for confirming and replying to this. Indeed anyone finding this, follow to the below (and forget the above): (*) I am making a mental note to update the man page. >> In theory *nothing* is needed to load the driver. >> >> Only the wlan/ifconfig lines in rc.conf and wpa_supplicant.conf need to be >> done. >> >> >>> Then run "fwget" to fetch the latest firmware needed, and then reboot. >> >> fwget has NO idea about iwm. iwm firmware is still in src and not ports! >> >> >> Note: if that firmware would have been present loader.conf does has compat >> entry lines for iwm firmware, so even loading iwm from loader should have >> worked without anyone noticiing. > > To make everything work I did exactly as you said should work. > The device got matched automatically so the driver was already loaded. > Now everything is working. > > Before, I forgot to check and assumed it wouldn't do that - which was > a stupid assumption. > > To make it work, to /etc/rc.conf I only added: > wlans_iwm0="wlan0" > ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" > > And added the necessary configuration to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf. > > Thank you!
