           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.1-STABLE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: wireless

dmesg after the above steps

The work in progress version of the rtw89 rtl8852be driver/firmware does not
yet work on my PC. This should be filed under the 273621 rtw89 meta-bug per
Bjoern Zeeb to validate the work in progress. It is possible (likely) that I am
missing a step.

The notebook PC is an HP14 i3 with the rtl8852be wifi chipset. An initial test
with a recent version of Linux showed the chipset is supported by the Linux
kernel (likely only with kernel >=6.2).

The current process was:

download FreeBSD-14.1-STABLE-amd64-20241003-ed03c3099086-268968-disc1.iso,
install via Ventoy USB, only use defaults, only create root user. USB wired
ethernet is automatically detected and supported for internet access for the
following steps:


# git clone https://github.com/freebsd/wireless/tree/bz_drv_update_v6.11
/usr/src
# cd /usr/src
# git checkout bz_drv_update_v6.11
# make buildkernel installkernel
# reboot
# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/rtw89
# make && make install
# reboot
# fwget

Needed firmware packages: 'gpu-firmware-intel-kmod-alderlake
gpu-firmware-intel-kmod-tigerlake wifi-firmware-rtw89-kmod-rtw8852b'
The most recent versions of packages are already installed

--I didn't capture the fwget output the first time running it, but it did
download firmware-the output above is after running a second time.

# reboot
# dmesg > dmesg20241012-rtw89 
(see attachment for full dmesg)

Notes: retesting will use a clean install from the most recent snapshot. Let me
know if there are other steps I should try.
