Here: FreeBSD-13.1-RC4-amd64-dvd1.iso written to a USB flash drive, installed
to an HP ZBook Firefly 15 G8. Bugged during installation.
Initial scan: no network found.
Second scan: found eduroam and other networks. Connection to eduroam failed
(there wasn't time for me to photograph the details – late afternoon, I was
leaving the office).
All subsequent scans: no network found.

Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (2x2) and Bluetooth® 5.2 combo' appears once on page 25, again
on page 27. I can't guess why there are two listings (and I probably don't
need to know; this computer will not be mine).
Keyword: bsdinstall, I guess.
<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246126> (2020-05-02):
bsdinstall fails to report wireless network scan failure
– glancing at Ed Maste's comment 0, it's possible that I encountered the
same, or similar.
I might not have another opportunity to retest with this particular hardware,
but if I do (maybe early Monday morning): I'll take photographs.
If you do I left a comment (#2?) on the PR if a few more things to look at.

(2022-04-21) was the update to RC4.

Guide. Neither page is found, this is typical of HP's websites.
