It appears the rtw88 driver in 14.1-RELEASE will associate, but if I build stable-14, it no longer associates.

While doing a fresh install, I noticed rtw88 associated on my system.  Here is the ifconfiig wlan0:

Can we specify mode 11g in some config file?  I think my issue arises after a buildworld/kernel, installworld.  Is 11g compatibility getting configured out?

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?
