I have a StarLite laptop where I installed 13.1, but I can't seem to make WiFi work. It features the following chip: > iwm0@pci0:0:12:0: class=0x028000 rev=0x06 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x31dc subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0x0264 > vendor = 'Intel Corporation' > device = 'Gemini Lake PCH CNVi WiFi' > class = network By default, as can be seen, iwm attaches to it and recognizes it as 9560: > iwm0: mem 0x91118000-0x9111bfff at device 12.0 on pci0 > iwm0: hw rev 0x310, fw ver 34.3125811985.0, address 20:1e:88:78:ac:3a Then it spits out a lot of debug info and ends up nagging with repeated "iwm0: could not initiate scan". So I put 'devmatch_blocklist="if_iwm"' in rc.conf, in order to try iwlwifi: strangely, it attachs but thinks this is an AC 9461! > iwlwifi0: Detected Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9461, REV=0x312 Then, like iwm, it spits out a lot of errors and the network does not work. Before digging in it more deeply: _ can anyone tell for sure what this card is? 9461 or 9560? _ what should I use? iwm? iwlwifi? Anything else? _ is this expected to work on 13.1? Do I really need to upgrade to stable? Could I cherry-pick something in order to deviate the least from release? bye & Thanks av. P.S. I know a lot of work has been going on and I've seen many info through the mailing lists and on the wiki. However, I find it hard to recap all these info. Sorry.
