I have just tried building and installing this on FreeBSD 11-current r302020, and unfortunately it failed. To be clear, I took the following steps to perform my testing: - git clone -b iwm --single-branch https://github.com/evadot/freebsd.git - cd freebsd/sys/modules/iwm - make - sudo cp if_iwm.ko /boot/kernel/ - cd ../iwmfw - make - find . -name "*.ko*" -exec sudo cp {} /boot/kernel/ \; - reboot Upon reboot I got a kernel panic after it loaded the module. I took photos of my screen at the debug console, which you can find at the link below. If there is a way to get a better output for debugging, please let me know. http://imgur.com/a/TJ7i5 I am not sure what you meant when you said I need the latest firmware (16.XXX) for the driver to work. Regards, Ben
