Hey all,

I've written a new "quick" guide on getting Wifibox running on 13.1-STABLE (while we wait for the native iwlwifi driver to be fully implemented and stable, thanks Bjoern :D!)

You can find it here:

https://xyinn.org/md/freebsd/wifibox

The only caveat is in relation to sleep/resume. For me on 13.1-STABLE, after a few sleep/resumes (1-3 times), the wlan0 interface will no longer come back up inside the Linux VM. The wifibox creator and myself are thinking there may be a possible regression on 13.1-STABLE, but we haven't confirmed this.. it could just be another bug. For now I've opened a bug report on the wifibox repo here: https://github.com/pgj/freebsd-wifibox/issues/31, but if we find the root cause (or close to it), we'll open up a bug report on FreeBSD directly.

Hopefully this is helpful for some,

Jonathan Vasquez
