Hi Chris,

Well I just built and installed the net/wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod
on a year old world/kernel.

Just to be clear: your world and kernel are still a year old or did you
update them too afterwards?  If not, please do if you want to test
iwlwifi becasue there's no support for a year old current iwlwifi and
LinuxKPI here anymore, especially if you want to try VHT.  Otherwise
the next you'll report is year old bugs.  Sorry.

In my humble defense, from our last conversation:

And the iwlwifi/rtw88/rtw89 firmware is not tied to the kernel build anymore
given it's a plain firmware file and no kernel module, so it can be built as
a normal port/package.  With a year old current it should still be fine
to build it upfront.

;)

To be clear. I deleted the previous kernel drivers supplied by my last
kernel build. Then proceeded to /usr/ports/net/wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod
and did a make install clean. Stupidly forgetting about using a flavor. :/

But upon reboot (among other things)
got the following:

I told you to install the respective flavour only but hey...

Yep. I forgot to choose a flavor. :(

If this is an AX201 you did not install a recent port/package.
Your tunables are not reflecting what should be set.
Did you update your ports tree before building?

Yes.

What does
% pkg info | grep wifi-firmware-iwlwifi
say?

wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod-20241017.1500018_2 Firmware modules for the iwlwifi (iwlwifi) WiFi NIC driver

What does
        fwget -n
suggest?

% fwget -n -v


this is fwget(8) from my old kernel. Would a
make -C /usr/src/usr.sbin/fwget install clean
be enough? Or is a new kernel/world mandatory?

I'm guessing I need to build a new world/kernel. This is on current.

Right and you mean on a year old current.  Please update.

The line now looks like ;-)
    855         },

dmesg(8) returns:
Detected Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz, REV=0x370

loader.conf(5) contains:

compat.linuxkpi.iwlwifi_disable_11ac=0
compat.linuxkpi.iwlwifi_disable_11ax=0

Right.  Please just install the firmware package and stop trying to set
random things yourself.  There's multiple correct samples in the last 7
weeks of wireless list archives if you don't trust what the package
would do for you.

Right. I installed the firmware from a git up of ports done yesterday.
I got "compat.linuxkpi.iwlwifi_disable_11ac=0" from a recent message
on the list. "compat.linuxkpi.iwlwifi_disable_11ax=0" was a hopeful shot in
the dark. Now removed.

(a) it is unclear if you have hw_crypto set?
        sysctl compat.linuxkpi.80211.hw_crypto

% sysctl compat.linuxkpi.80211.hw_crypto
sysctl: unknown oid 'compat.linuxkpi.80211.hw_crypto'

(b) you have 11n disabled: iwlwifi_11n_disable=1 but 11ac/11ax on and
thus you get a warning.  This is not what the package would do.

I made no changes to iwlwifi_11n_disable. I guess nothing was done.

(c) if you enable 11ax you are on your own.

Understood. I'll stop doing that.

(d) what does
        cat /boot/loader.conf.d/iwlwifi-22000.conf
say?  If nothing, is there any file there?
        ls -l /boot/loader.conf.d/iwlwifi-*.conf
If not then we are back to the beginning that the firmware is not
recent.  Start by installing a recent firmware package and then

Right. Both return nothing. So a new kernel/world appears required.

do your kernel/world update.

Headed to /usr/src/ after this reply. :)

Hope this helps,

Immensely! Sorry for all the bother.
