I guess that the modules are loaded by the loader ? (i.e. in /boot/loader.conf) Could you test not loading them by the loader but by manually after login ? kldload iwmXXXXfw.ko && kldload if_iwm Then restart the netif service (or create the wlan0 directly). > I am not sure what you meant when you said I need the latest firmware > (16.XXX) for the driver to work. I wasn't very clear on this, the firmware is in the kernel modules and they have been updated so you won't need to worry about this. > Regards, > Ben -- Emmanuel Vadot <m...@bidouilliste.com> _______________________________________________ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
