Hello, Does anyone know about the possibility of using Wireless 8260 ? I initially addressed this issue to free...@intel.com, but it seems no one is home. It is difficult to assume that such a huge and rich company like Intel@ can not keep at least one FreeBSD driver developer and all the work is done by community (after spending the money to purchase equipment ;-)
---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, Nov 6, 2016 at 8:40 PM Subject: Wireless 8260 driver for FreeBSD To: free...@intel.com Hello, I've buy http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/nuc/nuc-kit-nuc6i5syk.html harware and wish to use this as development desktop platform on my office with FreeBSD OS (at the moment i setup FreeBSD 12-CURRENT snapshot). With a big community/developers help via FreeBSD maillist I was able successfull to make of the graphics subsystem ( DRM 4.7 from dev-branch: https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/freebsd-base-graphics/wiki ) Looks like all other hardware compatible with FreeBSD 12 except wirelless devices. I can find any information about Wireless 8260 and FreeBSD. On Intel.com site, i see official FreeBSD ethernet drivers ( em ), but can't find any drivers for wireless. Some people indicated to iwn driver: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwn&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+12-current&arch=default&format=html But it not works for me. My pciconf -vl output from FreeBSD NUC 6i5syk: none5@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x90108086 chip=0x24f38086 rev=0x3a hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Wireless 8260' class = network Where I can find the driver if it exists? Or is there some kind of timeline when you plan to upgrade iwn for 8260 ? Thx! _______________________________________________ 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"
