Hi, it’s about time for an update on the Intel WiFi and 11ac client project. As you can read in the 2020Q2 status report [2] (once its out) as well, the decision was to port over the dual-licensed native Linux driver under BSD license and using linuxkpi rather than extending iwm(4) as a first step. By now most of the lower bits work fine enough so that we attach, can load and run the firmware. There is NO WIFI in this snapshot yet. If you currently have a supported iwm(4) or unsupported Intel Wireless card of the 7k/8k/9k/22k series (not the iwn(4) models) and want to help testing you can use the branch at https://github.com/bzfbd/freebsd-base/tree/iwlwifi which is a FreeBSD CURRENT from July 4th, or download the last two commit from there and apply them locally to your tree, compile, install, and boot the new kernel, and then kldload if_iwl The driver will not be loaded automatically for you as we already do for other drivers to avoid problems or conflicts. Firmware will be loaded automatically for you when you load the driver. You’ll hopefully see a message (with a typo or two) like: # kldload if_iwl HOORAY IWLWIFI LOADED. Check dmesg for: iwlwifi0: loaded firmware version ...ucode op_mode iwlmvm iwlwifi0: Detected.. iwlwifi0: base HW address.. lines. If you cannot find them please report back. # If you don’t get this printed something went wrong. If everything goes well, you’ll find your hardware address at the end of dmesg printed out, which means the card was detected, a firmware loaded, and we can talk to the hardware. That also means if your card was not yet supported, it’ll be once the WiFi parts are done. I have two sample dmesg outputs at the end of the email for you. There are a few “Failed”/“TODO” messages in there which you can ignore at this time. It’ll also try to load some firmware which doesn’t exist and that is fine as well. If you test and this does not work, that’s what I am really interested in at the moment. In that case can you please make sure to have bootverbose enabled [1] and send me the output of dmesg and `pciconf -lvBbceV` for the Intel wireless card entry. We are currently still leaking PCI resources on module unload, so you if you unload and try to load another driver or reload if_iwl.ko it’ll fail. I suggest to do a reboot to clear up the test and then use FreeBSD as you normally would. Just to repeat again, there is no WiFi working yet in this snapshot, so please don’t expect it yet. I’ll update-you when there is more to test for that. Thanks you any feedback!
