Hello, I was told to post to this mailing list from the Discord help chat. I recently installed a pre-release version of FreeBSD-15 on a new laptop. I was initially unable to get the iwlwifi wireless working, but I found a fix that worked for me. According to dmesg I have: iwlwifi0: Detected Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz. Initially it wouldn't connect even with the latest FreeBSD firmware for it. I plugged in a separate run0 usb wifi device and then downloaded linux-firmware.git. I copied the firmware from there into /boot/firmware/ and rebooted, and the iwlwifi device can connect now. I hope this is useful. Thanks, zak
