Hi all,
I have Dell Latitude E7390. I bought it especially for FreeBSD, I checked the compatibility on https://wiki.freebsd.org/Laptops, so I didn't expected any issues with hardware.
However the WiFI does not work, i.e. The connection is associated, but the dhclient cannot obtain a configuration.
The device is Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 8265:
My current system is FreeBSD 13.2-RC1, but I had the same on 13.1.
I tested both iwm and iwlwifi drivers, there's no difference in behaviour - I can scan available wifi networks and connect to the one of them, but dhclient does not work.
I'm able to use tcpdump, it shows dhcp requests and broadcast packets from other devices, but no dhcp offers.
I checked also router (openwrt) using tcpdump. On the router's side tcpdump does not show dhcp requests.
I checked the hardware using Ubuntu Live CD, it seems that wifi works perfectly fine.
I have no idea what else can be wrong, after three days I'm here for some help.
