success, finally got everything in the correct place. The following is my /etc/rc.conf

# for internal wifi card
if_iwlwifi_load="YES"
legal.intel.license_ack=1
wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode sta regdomain FCC country US"
# wlandebug_wlan0="+state +crypto +node +auth +assoc +dot1xsm +wpa"
ifconfig_iwlwifi0="DHCP"

The driver is not perfect, but it is a start in the right direction.
I've been attempting to get wifi on the latest build of GhostBSD both XFCE and Mate (22.03.01) with no luck at all. So... is tlhe iwlwifi issue still up in the air? I cannot test network obviously on the live DVD as it cannot see the network card, so have to install then struggle with it but have not been able to get it going?

I posted a thread in the Hardware section and was directed here.

look at the #2 post from @ericbsd

Make sure you are using the latest ISO. Initially I missed step and I had issues. I do have it running by following his steps

Thank you. Yes as I posted, I'm using an iso that was released March 2nd. I'll dig in and try as you say.

So I gather there is no way an iso can appear here that will have the networking via iwlwifi issue resolved? I'd like to try it before installing.
