FreeBSD 14.3 got a greatly improved support for Intel WiFi hardware (iwlwifi driver).
Finally, the AX210 (802.11ac) wifi card in my ThinkPad T480 works perfectly fine without having to rely on the wifibox workarround anymore.
IPv4 works perfectly fine
IPv6 work perfectly fine
Standby and resume woks
Speeds are phenomenal
Also the WiFi configuration is rather easy:
In /etc/rc.conf:
wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode sta regdomain ETSI country DE"
ifconfig_wlan0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
In /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
network={
ssid="Hoda-IOT"
scan_ssid=0
psk="my-secure-wifi-key"
priority=10
}
Amazing progress for FreeBSD on laptops 馃槃 I really like it!
