--000000000000ad9aea05e454d366 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" I saw some discussion about this WiFi chip not working under FreeBSD but there seems no conclusion as to why it does not work for certain cases. I am trying to configure iwm in FreeBSD 12.3-Release on a Dell E5540 laptop. Here is some system information: #dmesg | grep iwm iwm0: <Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 7260> mem 0xf7a00000-0xf7a01fff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci2 iwm0: hw rev 0x140, fw ver 17.352738.0, address ac:7b:a1:34:fa:85 #ifconfig iwm0 up ifconfig: interface iwm0 does not exist This laptop WiFi works with Ubuntu 18.04, so this AC7260 is a working card. Does anyone know if AC 7260 card can be made to work under FreeBSD 12.3? Anything can we try to see what could be wrong to bring iwm0 up? TIA, -Jin PS: in 12.x release hardware notes, there are typos for AC 7260 driver (iwn): [i386, amd64] Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3160/7260/7265 IEEE 802.11ac network adapters (iwn(4) driver). 13.1-Release has fixed this typo to iwm(4). --000000000000ad9aea05e454d366 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div>I saw some discussion about this WiFi chip not workin= g under=20 FreeBSD but there seems no conclusion as to why it does not work for=20 certain cases.</div><div><br></div><div>I am trying to configure iwm in Fre= eBSD 12.3-Release on a Dell E5540 laptop.
