Hi everyone,
I am very excited about Freebsd, but a first time poster on these forums. I have tried to follow all the rules, but my apologies if I get something wrong.
I have just finished following this guide on modifying the iwm module to work with ac9260 wifi cards. I believe that I have successfully build the module, and I have followed the steps in the OP almost exactly to set up wifi, but the wlan0 interface is still not appearing under ifconfig. I have added some stuff below, but I am re-typing everything from my Thinkpad with FreeBSD onto the computer that I use to browse forums, so I haven't included quite as much as I normally would. If anyone needs for info I am happy to provide it!
As I said, I have followed all instructions in the above-linked guide, so all my config documents look as that guide instructs.
Here is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
My added lines in /etc/rc.conf:
And my added lines in /boot/loader.conf:
Currently,
However,
Finally, perhaps the most import piece of information(?), when I run
Can anyone offer some help with this? I have read the full manual page on networking, but I seem to have done everything that I need to do. I am really stuck!

Here is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
Code:
network={
ssid="(my ssid)"
bssid=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=RSN
psk="(my password)"
}
My added lines in /etc/rc.conf:
Code:
wpa_supplicant_program="/usr/local/sbin/wpa_supplicant"
wlans_iwm0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
And my added lines in /boot/loader.conf:
Code:
if_iwm_load="YES"
iwm9260fw_load="YES" ### for ac9260
iwm9000fw_load="YES" ### for ac9560
legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"
Currently,
dmesg | grep iwm
turns up nothing at all after boot, and ifconfig shows no wlan0 interface at all.However,
kldstat | grep iwm
shows the following two results, indicating that the module is indeed being loaded!
Code:
2 1 [some long hash here] 2bc70 if_iwm.ko
5 1 [another long hash] ee0 iwm9260fw.ko
Finally, perhaps the most import piece of information(?), when I run
service netif restart
I get an error along with the info about my other interfaces. The error is:
Code:
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Device not configured
Can anyone offer some help with this? I have read the full manual page on networking, but I seem to have done everything that I need to do. I am really stuck!
