Hello FreeBSD community, I am currently using Kismet version 201607 from the FreeBSD official repository. However, I have noticed that the Homebrew package manager for macOS offers a more recent version, Kismet 2023-07-R1. I am interested in knowing if there are any newer binary versions of...

Hi there. I am struggling with a rather annoying problem. I decided to "dig up" an old minipc, a Dell OptiPlex 3040 micro and install FreeBSD on it. uname -a FreeBSD crap 14.0-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE-p3 #0: Mon Dec 11 04:56:01 UTC 2023...

I'm building a box based on the AsRock DeskMini X300, which has an empty M.2 E-key slot for a WLAN module. Alternatively, I might use a WLAN USB stick. Price is rather unimportant. I'm more interested in support for FreeBSD (13 and up) out-of-the-box, i.e. I load a kernel module, frob a file or...

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...

I have an AP+bridge+firewall ("router") running FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE r366954 GENERIC amd64. It's roughly set up as follows: - igb0 connects to my ISP via DHCP. (Disabled while I debug this.) - bridge0 has dnsmasq running on it as a DHCP server and DNS server. (Only dynamic addresses at the...

I redirected most of the console messages to /var/log/console.log but the WLAN message seems does not honor /etc/syslog.conf. I am still and only getting console messages like "ath0: bb hang detected (0x4), resetting". Is there any way to redirect or suppress them?

Is there a way to use a virtual network interface on a physical FreeBSD host? TL;DR - yes - use epair interfaces. Background: I have this new and quite cheap laptop (Lenovo ideapad 530S-14ARR). It was on outlet sale, therefore cheap. It doesn't have a wired ethernet interface, and the wireless...

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...

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.

Good morning fellow BSD-lovers. As the topic suggests, iam trying to get the Intel Wireless AC9462 running on my freshly installed 13.0-CURRENT. Iam using the iwm driver with the newly added support for AC 946X. Unfortunately, the driver doesn't detect the PCI device. According to the...

I'm currently on Arch Linux and I'm interested in trying with FreeBSD with KDE Plasma (and likely bspwm as an alternative session) on my laptop again after quite some time, and I'm wondering what the way to go there is for managing networks, so easily connecting to and switching between public...

Anyone knows if this is supported? Running a Lenovo T470 with Intel atm, but seems to be a bit slow. Noticed that they have whitelisted the Realtek card below, not sure if it would work better or not at all with FreeBSD. Realtek RTL8822BE - Wi-Fi 2x2 802.11ac + BT4.1, M.2 card Could it work...

I have been searching a lot for a recommended wi-fi card, usb or internal works either way. Ive got the default wifi card which uses the iwm(4) but I know that it doesn't support higher speeds. I see people recommending the Atheros cards but which one? Is it recommended buying a USB-adapter...

Two years ago i bought a WLAN card model Bcm94352z with the BCM4352 Broadcom chipset to use it on macOS (Hackintosh). It turns out that the card worked properly on macOS but didnt work on Ubuntu nor on any Linux distro. 2 years later i managed to get it work on Linux by adding the "irqpoll" or...

Well, I had a wireless adapter laying around, so I put it in the machine. The kernel sees it as a rlphy0 but that's the only place that I can find it. Here's the relevant dmesg. rlphy0: <RTL8201L 10/100 media interface> PHY 9 on miibus0 rlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX...

Hello, I just hot my new raspberry pi 2. I see a big fat Broadcom chip on it that says "BCM2836" and I'm sure that this one should be the wireless card. I'm using a standard image for RPI2 with nothing custom on it. I have downloaded the source and on the default conf file I see that it's...

Hi, As some of You know there is net-mgmt/networkmgr which allows convenient/graphical Wireless and LAN connections switch. What I miss in it is the WWAN connection management, DNS management, optional MAC generation and network shares unmount at disconnect. With my solution you still need to...

my dmesg output has a lot of wlan0: link state changed to UP wlan0: link state changed to DOWN wlan0: link state changed to UP wlan0: link state changed to DOWN wlan0: link state changed to UP However, the network appears to be working ok. I once ditched Solaris 11, believing it was...

Hello, I've got a little problem with my WLAN-Configuration. The WLAN-Card of my laptop is not supported by FreeBSD, so I bought an USB adapter with a Realtek RTL 8192CU chip. Then I put the lines if_urtwn_load="YES" legal.realtek.license_ack=1 into my /boot/loader.conf like described in...

Hi there, I am looking for a C API that would let me interact with my wireless NIC (such as listing available SSIDs etc...)? Well, a bit of googling revealed there is no API high level APIs in FreeBSD. I had a quick look at some of the code in /usr/src/sys/net80211, but I really would...
