FreeBSD 15 doesn't recognize Intel Wireless AC 8260 card

R

raerband_Madagascar

My OS was 14.3 and did online upgrade to 15.0 when released. The upgrade didn't succeeds because the wireless card is not detected by the OS.
It was working fine on 14.3.
Now, I did full installation of 15.0: the same behavior still happen: the wifi still not working.
If someone can help?

on 14.3, it was "iwm"
on 15.0, it becomes "iwlwifi"

Try /boot/loader.conf
Rich (BB code): 
devmatch_blocklist="if_iwlwifi"
See if it is enough to attach the iwm(4) driver to the device, check dmesg(8), or pciconf -lv | grep -B 3 network, check if the firmware is loaded: kldstat(8).

If not, try adding
Code: 
if_iwm_load="YES"
besides the devmatch blocklist.

If the iwx(4) driver attaches, put it on the blocklist as well, space separated besides iwlwifi.
 
Good morning! Not sure if OP has fixed this yet, but just in case it isn't yet resolved: I came across this post when I had a similar problem with my laptop also using the 8260 wireless card. Thanks to T-Daemon, I looked in dmesg, and found the message
could not read firmware iwm8000Cfw

This led me to the following bug report: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291403. Changing the name of the firmware file as explained in this bug report fixed the problem for me.
