wifi

Hey y'all, I'm new to BSD and have just installed FreeBSD and KDE Plasma on my Dell Latitude E5420. My wifi is not working, but LAN is. I've read that my wifi card is not supported by FreeBSD (Broadcom) but that it could possible to create the drivers myself using XP drivers and ndisscvt. I...

Hi, I hope this is the right forum. I just installed and from the screen with “cable” connected to router I could: ping www.yahoo.com ping www.google.com Both returned to me data (64 bytes from 216.58…. icmp_seq=11 tt1=109 time=60.234 ms) Unplugged the cable and got “no route to host” So I...

After a few days of hacking, I'm very close to finally using FreeBSD. I think I have one (hopefully) final step left, to get wifi working. Currently, my wifi adapter shows up in pciconf, but it doesn't seem to show up as wlan0. Running net-mgmt/wifimgr gives me the error ifconfig: interface...

First of all Hello everybody, I am new to the forum and FreeBSD, I am also posting this in general because it didn't feel like it belonged in a more specific category. Apologies if my question is stupid, but I understand very little of how virtualization treats hardware components, My question...

So I have a close-source wi-fi card. It works fine with windows ofc and fine with Linux because Ubuntu's developers develop a hardware support for that driver and its open-source. So Im really enjoying using FreeBSD but not being able to connection internet without ethernet cable or extra wi-fi...

Hello and thanks already for having clicked on this! I'm having some trouble getting FreeBSD setup fully working on my late 2011 13" MPB. Most things do work suprisingly well but here are my problems: Trackpad Suspend/Resume WiFi (BCM 4331) Some general info: FreeBSD 13.0 is installed on a...

I have a Realtek RTL8192EU USB NIC and the transfer (download) speed is very slow (maximum of 200k/s). On Linux I get a medium speed of 1000k/s, which is what I would expect and also matches up with the output of speedtest-cli. * dmesg * ifconfig in /etc/rc.conf I have: wlans_rtwn0="wlan0"...

I managed to solve the issue, please delete this thread

Hello. I recently setup a OPNSense firewall, and everything works great except it appears that FreeBSD does not support the Intel AX200 Wi-Fi module. Does anybody know if it will be supported in the near future, or if there is any way to get it work today? I've SSH'd into the firewall and run...

Hi Friends! I have a Intel Atom D2700 based nettop and FreeBSD 12.2 i386 fresh install. That PC has a integrated Wi-Fi on a USB bus based on a RTL8191S chipset: # usbconfig list ugen2.1: <Intel UHCI root HUB> at usbus2, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA) ugen3.1: <Intel UHCI root...

I have been experiencing intermittent wifi issues for the past 1-2 years. I had aways thought it was my internet service provider - although interestingly, turning wifi off and on again on my laptop, usually solved the issue (temporarily). Then last week I tried something new: I disconnected the...

I am running FreeBSD 12.1 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 carbon (3rd generation). The laptop comes equipped with an Intel AC-7265 wireless chipset which appears to be supported by the iwm driver. After loading the appropriate driver I am able to the card up and running. The driver is loaded by editing...

Hi, I am new to freebsd, hence the command-line interface, I was having trouble using commandline interface so I am using GhostBSD with FreeBSD 12 for ease. However, I cannot figure out how to install Broadcom wifi driver and how to configure wifi, the FreeBSD page says to edit the kernel...

I'm trying to install a Broadcom BCM43236 Wifi USB on my laptop running FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE-p11. I'm getting an error message: bwn_v4_ucode5: could not load firmware image, error 2 bwn0: the fw file(bwn_v4_ucode5) not found I think that the firmware file is missing, so trying the command "pkg...

Good morning gang, I have been hanging around her for a while now, I thought I could solve some issues by me onsy but no luck. I am getting the following message and no wireless service: # service netif restart Destroyed wlan(4) interfaces: wlan0. Created wlan(4) interfaces: wlan0. Starting...

Hello, As sure as some of you know, getting WiFi to work on this OS can be a hassle - especially when the network card you have is not supported. Just curious - will there be the prospect of an RTL8821CE driver in FreeBSD?

pciconf -lv outputs this none0@pci0:0:12:0: class=0x028000 card=0x02a48086 chip=0x31dc8086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' class = network /boot/loader.conf # intel nuc(my PC) wifi if_ath_load="YES" if_wi_load="YES" if_iwm_load="YES" iwm7265fw_load="YES"...

I'm installing FreeBSD 12.1 in a laptop, and when the installation prompts to configure the network (IPv4/IPv6), no adapter appears. I entered another tty (Alt+F4) and run ifconfig, where only lo0 device shows up. Any idea on how to make it recognize the WiFi card?

Hi forum I'm new to FreeBSD and having version 11.3 on GA-H87N-Wifi motherboard. Most things working as intended, except the WLAN. Does anybody know whether there's an Intel (?) driver that can solve this problem ? TIA's for any tips or clues.

Wifi support is the only thing holding me back from switching to FreeBSD from Arch and Manjaro Linux (I have yet to test touchpad support since I don't have wifi to install KDE). I read somewhere that Windows drivers can be used to suppliment missing FreeBSD wifi drivers using something called...
