For Loading from loader is discuraged; if you really want to see this thread: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-wireless/2021-December/000153.html On FreeBSD Current, you don't even have to load the module at all anymore; it'll automatically loaded for you (soon also in stable/13). > /etc/rc.conf, there appears to be a race condition where the network tries > to start before the microcode load has completed. That is a weird case and I thought that should not happen anymore as the wlan interface should always only be created after the firmware successfully loaded. I see I have an email from you in my inbox as well; in case it's not in there, can you send me the console (dmesg -a) output of that case so I can have a look? /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb r15:7
