Dear FreeBSD Community, I have recently installed FreeBSD 14-RELEASE and am attempting to connect my wireless card to my university's Wi-Fi using the instructions provided in the FreeBSD Handbook. The router utilizes WPA2-Enterprise security, so I configured "/etc/wpa-supplicant.conf" as the...

Hello forum! Today I decided to try putting FreeBSD on my Athlon x2 computer. Motherboard: gigabyte m68mt-s2 Video card: nvidia geforce 8600 g Processor: AMD Athlon II X2(with integrated video core) Network card: nvidia. And I think it is still worth specifying that when you start the PC only...

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 13.2. My laptop has an Intel 8260 Wireless-AC adapter. The live install media uses the "iwm" driver by default which does not work with this network adapter (no networks found). The "iwlwifi" driver works fine without issue when I set it up post install. How do I...

Hello FreeBSD community, I wanted to describe my situation because I'm not quite sure what I did exactly wrong, and I do think that, given the relatively typical circumstances, this might be a documentation issue with the manual, so I wanted to ask if there are other resources I could consider...

I currently use FreeBSD on a laptop and I need to connect to different wireless network, some blocked external DNS server somehow, so I was wonder if there is a way to change my DNS server with DHCP assigning. I have to manually change my resolv.conf to get that to work. Any suggestion would...

I just installed freebsd 13.0 on my lenovo thinkpad x260. I also have debian and windows 10 installed on the same laptop in different partitions. On both debian and window 10, when I use fast.com, I can easily get 400mbps on wireless. However, on my freebsd, for both wired and wireless, I can...

I've searched Google. I've searched the FreeBSD forums and documentation. Every computer that I've tried FreeBSD on, getting wifi to work isn't possible. I got it to work once with a USB Netgear dongle, but even then it was a hassle and was extremely slow. I know the forum rules forbid "Why...

Hello. For quite a while I've been dealing with a highly unstable wifi connection on 13.0 (and if its relevant I'm dual booting Windows 10 on another drive on the same machine). My motherboard has an intel 8265/8275 which from my understanding is supported by the iwm driver. The main issue is...

I'm trying to configure my wireless network card and it is identified as none2@pci0:0:21:3: vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Wi-Fi 6 AX201' The "none" means there is no driver? I think found this confirming that it is not yet supported...

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 was going through the FreeBSD 13 Hardware Notes and couldn't find any mention of the wireless network adapters supported by iwm driver. Is this a mistake or is there any reason behind it e.g too unstable yet to use etc. ?

What's your favorite business class Wireless Access Point? Do you know of any good Wireless forums or mail lists? Thank you in advance.

Hi all, I have setup a fresh installation of GhostBSD 20.04.1 in a Toshiba Satellite L50-C. (Try first FreeBSD 12.1 but graphic card works better on GhostBSD ;) ) When the laptop was working on Linux Mint 19.3, it had an average speed (using wlan0) of 50-60 Mbit/s download and 20-30 Mbit/s...
