            Bug ID: 294429
           Summary: PC crashes when trying to connect to wifi using rtw89
                    driver
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: wireless
          Assignee: wireless@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: spaciouscoder78@disroot.org

Hi, 

I installed FreeBSD 15 Release on my thinkpad e14. I have a wlan card Realtek
8852BE Wi-Fi 6 (RTL8852BE) that is officially supported according to the
documentation.

Upon installing the OS, the OS didn't detect my wifi card at first but
eventually did later somehow.

Now the problem at hand is that when I try to connect to wifi or enable it by
typing 'ifconfig wlan0 up scan' as root, the entire system freezes, crashes and
reboots without any kernel panic message. 

i checked dmesg output but it said my wlan0 driver loaded just fine.

I'm not sure what the problem is and how to fix it. I can provide any logs if
necessary.
