There are a lot of Intel iwlwifi supported cards, Only a few tested and drivers are not yet complete

Code: Select all
systcl net.wlan.devices
#2 Use the key below to find your country code and regdomain, then make a note of them, ie ( ETSI = europe, GB = britain )

#3 Edit as root your /etc/rc.conf using nano, vim or your editor of choice and add the code below, replacing the X's with your country code and regdomain.
Code: Select all
wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode sta mode 11g txpower 30 country XX regdomain XXXX"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
ifconfig_wlan0_ipv4="inet4"
ifconfig_wlan0_ipv6="inet6"
#4 Create a blank wpa_supplicant.conf as root, add the code below and also add your wifi password and access point name
Code: Select all
network={
ssid="YOUR ACCESS POINT NAME"
psk="YOUR WIFI PASSWORD"
}
#5 There are 2 ways to do this so i will post both for you to try, ( the wifi in the 1st method does not feel as stable as the 2nd for me at least )
1st Method: Edit as root your /boot/loader.conf and add the following line
Code: Select all
if_iwm_load="YES"
#6 Reboot back into your desktop and check if wifi is working, and connected, if not you can try the second method
2nd Method: Edit as root your /boot/loader.conf and replace the line from the first method with the one below
Code: Select all
if_iwlwifi="YES"
#7 Reboot back into your desktop and check if wifi is working, and connected which it hopefully is
The downside of the current state of the drivers means the speed is very slow, i have not got above 20Mb/s
but that is good enough for 1080P Youtube, i also have not tested the bluetooth yet but i will when i get a bit extra time
Hope this helps all you ax201 and other intel ax users
