Re: setup your wifi iwm0 device on FreeBSD
Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2021 2:38 am
Clicking on the NetworkMgr icon, should have automatically setup your Intel Wifi PCI device.
The 3 files to edit were /boot/loader.conf /etc/rc.conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Read this FreeBSD forum post for details on various edits to those 3 files.

FreeBSD Manual Pages for iwm device

That is interesting. I checked the link you sent me and it seems like they changed the firmware name, so while the man page points to iwm7265fw_load="YES" the actual name is iwm7265Dfw_load="YES".

I think you are using pci Intel chipset though, using that iwm driver. What are your vendor and product Ids.
reference my forum posts as example of commands to use to debug WIFI problems.
