Is your mainboard rev. 1.x or rev. 2.0? According to those specs, rev. 1.x comes with 802.11 b/g/n support, whereas rev. 2.0 has 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac support. Unfortunately those specifications do not tell what chipset is used, so you might want to dig into the output ofI'm new to FreeBSD and having version 11.3 on GA-H87N-Wifi motherboard.
Most things working as intended, except the WLAN.
Does anybody know whether there's an Intel (?) driver that can solve this problem ?
pciconf -lv
to find out. FreeBSD does not support 802.11ac yet, but I believe it is being worked on.none2@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x40708086 chip=0x08b18086 rev=0x73 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Wireless 7260'
class = network
Looks like it is supported by the iwm(4) driver:Thanks for reply. Mainboard is Rev 2.0. Being able to use 802.11 anything would be good.
pciconf -lv reveals the following :
Code:none2@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x40708086 chip=0x08b18086 rev=0x73 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = 'Wireless 7260' class = network
The iwm driver provides support for:
Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3160
Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3165
Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3168
Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7260
Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7265
Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 8260
PC-BSD, FreeNAS, XigmaNAS, and all other FreeBSD DerivativesSadly, the iwm driver appears unsuitable for my use case (pfSense).
