Hi! I've made a little progress on the 7260 driver. I spent some time debugging issues with firmware command handling. I'm almost at the point where I'm ready to read the channel list from the firmware and setup the state net80211 needs to think the thing is a real wifi NIC. After that it's...

Right, ivy bridge. So, do this: # pkg install intel-pcm # kldload cpuctl # pcm.x 1 Run it for a few seconds, hit ctrl-C and paste the results here. It's likely that the CPU isn't going fully into deep sleep states and your battery is being chewed. Then put this in /boot/loader.conf, reboot...

Please post the 'dmesg' output after boot so we can see what hardware is in the thing. Thanks!

Try adding TKIP to the allowed pairwise keys. -adrian

So on the plus side, I have the thing probing, attaching, and loading in an initial firmware. That required way too much blood and tears. I'm going to tidy up what I have and then see about getting calibration and scan support working. That'll be enough for people to at least try it and tell me...

OK, there's something else going on. You have the right 11n options set it seems - it's allocated 512 RX/TX buffers correctly. Mine looks like this: no tx bufs (empty list): 0 no tx bufs (was busy): 0 aggr single packet: 14289 aggr single packet w/ BAW closed: 0 aggr non-baw packet: 91 aggr...

Hi! Would you please try FreeBSD-HEAD? Maybe I've fixed that behaviour. :)

There's still no timeline, sorry. I'm trying to find the time. :)

Which version of FreeBSD? There's a recent fix to FreeBSD -HEAD that fixed an issue with RAW IP injection and it was noticed because of dhclient errors.

Hi! (Wow this is an old thread.) FreeBSD -HEAD has updated support, including the 6235 support. -a

Hi! I'm the ath developer / WiFi maintainer. The AR9485 is best supported by FreeBSD-11. I run -HEAD on all of my development and user systems, so that's what I fix bugs in. Thanks! -a

Hi! Erm, you should file a bug. https://bugs.freebsd.org/submit/ I've started addressing some of the kinks in the AR9485 support on some chipsets - apparently there's some, erm, "options" that the driver didn't know about. They're in FreeBSD-HEAD, so I'd appreciate it if you can try out the...

Hi! Please try FreeBSD-HEAD. I've fixed a whole lot of bugs in the Intel iwn driver on FreeBSD which supports (among other things) the Intel 6500. It's not perfect though and it's still buggy in high interference situations, but it works well enough for me to use daily. Thanks! -adrian

Hi! Nope, this is odd. Please file a bug - https://bugs.freebsd.org/submit/ - and we'll poke the Intel maintainers to see what's going on. Would you be able to try the FreeBSD 10.1 release candidate images to see if things improved?

Hi! You can file bugs at https://bugs.FreeBSD.org/submit/. It looks like it's supposed to be working (it's indicating 11n support was compiled in) but normally that error happens when there are not enough buffers or descriptors available. Try doing a sysctl dev.ath.0.txagg=1 and sysctl...

Hi, We're working on it. Unlike the Linux Intel WiFi support, there's no-one paid from any company to maintain any WiFi driver in FreeBSD, so it's totally a free time community effort. I finally have a couple of people willing to help me do the 7260 port based on both what appeared in OpenBSD...

Hi, I'm the lacp / lagg hacker. :-) What's the output if 'ifconfig -a' with the lagg not working? -a

.. we do need more iwn maintainers Intel support the driver on Linux, but they don't have anyone actively doing FreeBSD development. Bernhard has done a great job fixing 11n support for the intel NICs, but he sadly doesn't have the time right now to work on the newer chipset support. So it...

If you're serious about hacking on updated broadcom/marvell support .. then please join the FreeBSD wireless list (freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org) and don't be afraid to ask questions. I'm not really allowed to work on it (as I'm employed by Qualcomm Atheros), so I stick to net80211 and...

There's no BCM43xx support in FreeBSD. Someone needs to step up and be the Broadcom BSD wifi maintainer. :)
