Hi Chris,
Well I just built and installed the net/wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod
on a year old world/kernel.
Just to be clear: your world and kernel are still a year old or did you
update them too afterwards? If not, please do if you want to test
iwlwifi becasue there's no support for a year old current iwlwifi and
LinuxKPI here anymore, especially if you want to try VHT. Otherwise
the next you'll report is year old bugs. Sorry.
But upon reboot (among other things)
got the following:
I told you to install the respective flavour only but hey...
If this is an AX201 you did not install a recent port/package.
Your tunables are not reflecting what should be set.
Did you update your ports tree before building?
What does
% pkg info | grep wifi-firmware-iwlwifi
say?
What does
fwget -n
suggest?
WARNING !ht_cap.ht_supported failed at
/usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/iwlwifi/iwl-nvm-parse.c:855
I'm guessing I need to build a new world/kernel. This is on current.
Right and you mean on a year old current. Please update.
The line now looks like ;-)
855 },
dmesg(8) returns:
Detected Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz, REV=0x370
loader.conf(5) contains:
compat.linuxkpi.iwlwifi_disable_11ac=0
compat.linuxkpi.iwlwifi_disable_11ax=0
Right. Please just install the firmware package and stop trying to set
random things yourself. There's multiple correct samples in the last 7
weeks of wireless list archives if you don't trust what the package
would do for you.
(a) it is unclear if you have hw_crypto set?
sysctl compat.linuxkpi.80211.hw_crypto
(b) you have 11n disabled: iwlwifi_11n_disable=1 but 11ac/11ax on and
thus you get a warning. This is not what the package would do.
(c) if you enable 11ax you are on your own.
(d) what does
cat /boot/loader.conf.d/iwlwifi-22000.conf
say? If nothing, is there any file there?
ls -l /boot/loader.conf.d/iwlwifi-*.conf
If not then we are back to the beginning that the firmware is not
recent. Start by installing a recent firmware package and then
do your kernel/world update.
Hope this helps,
