Hi,

which freebsd version are you on?  The PR is set to 14.3 but the firmware
installed in 14.2.  (we've seen this from other drm-kmod users; could be
something wrong otherwise there).  Was this a fresh install or a system update?
 Does the firmware change for you with a pkg update/upgrade?


About your wpa_supplicannt.conf:

-------
        scan_ssid=2
-------

There is only scan_ssid=0/1.


I tried to reproduce this just now and found that despite setting BSSID and
only that single network enabled, wpa_supplicant tried to auth/assoc to the
same SSID on a different BSSID which it should not.


If this would be iwlwifi specific, and it would try to assoc to the correct
BSSID, I would assume you may see:
iwlwifi0: Not associated and the session protection is over already...
iwlwifi0: linuxkpi_ieee80211_connection_loss: vif ... vap ... state AUTH/ASSOC
logs if no beacon heard.  Do you have anything like that in dmesg with the
hidden SSID?
