There's absolute NOGO on previous versions of FreeBSD. On a brand new 14.0-RELEASE (releng/14.0-n265380-f9716eee8ab4) I'm attempting to connect to my WiFi network with my Archer TX3000:
Network is using WPA2-PSK, SSID is hidden (I know it's a pseudo security measure but it does serve a purpose at a location where I am).
My /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
Whatever I do I can't connect. When I use wpa_cli(8) scan_results command sometimes does show the network, sometimes it doesn't.
NOTE: I can connect if I broadcast ssid.
I tried the very same machine on Linux, there it works just fine.
I toggled the verbose mode logging in rc.conf:
I have not used WiFi on PC/server pretty much over the decades. Any ideas are welcome.
Code:
iwlwifi0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 rev=0x1a hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x2725 subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0x0020
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Wi-Fi 6 AX210/AX211/AX411 160MHz'
class = network
