It's associating on my HP Envy system.  I may have been cloning the re1 MAC to wlan0.  Somewhere I read that some WiFi don't allow you to replace their MAC.

My other system, an HP Slimline is being installed right now. I'll let you know if this fixes my associate anomaly.

I have disabled Ethernet interfaces so I could concentrate on my Wi-Fi issue

The on board Wi-Fi is this, but it won't associate.

Seems good news is that the laptop doesn't "hang" anymore.

Do you get any logging in dmesg?  If you enable a level of debugging in
wpa_supplicant, does it log anything helping?

Yes, /var/log/messages says it's timing out after 10 seconds:

Can this timeout be set in wpa_supplicant.conf?


Which FreeBSD version are you running?

14.1 with daily git pulls, so I'm tracking stable-14.

Did you by any chance not set the loader tunable as documented in the
man page?
