I'm trying to install FreeBSD 13.2. My laptop has an Intel 8260 Wireless-AC adapter. The live install media uses the "iwm" driver by default which does not work with this network adapter (no networks found). The "iwlwifi" driver works fine without issue when I set it up post install. How do I...

Hello there everyone! Sorry if this thread is a duplicate or violates the rules in any way, I researched as well as I could before posting. I realize that the FreeBSD way of ports configuration is by means of an Ncurses option selection menu for each package, however I do prefer as much as...

Decided to give Cwm a shot, and one thing I notice right off the bat is it doesn't seem to utilize my screens full refresh-rate (144hz) when dragging windows across the screen. It's like a clunky 60hz. While this isn't a huge issue and I can obviously deal with it I wanted to ask if any Cwm...

Hi, all FreeBSD Gurus! Could You be so please to explain: On which principles FreeBSD giving the NICs ports identity? From my knowledge, there are involved (from HIGHT IMPACT to LOW): motherboard schematics, BIOS subsystem, NICs mechanical interface (PCI, PCI-e, etc...), NICs order in...

It's easy to configure the console keyboard layout, e.g. for German with keymap="de.kbd" in /etc/rc.conf. However, when I escape to the loader prompt during boot, I'm faced with a US layout. Typing pathnames and such becomes painful. Is there some magic to change the keyboard layout at the...

The System Hardening Options presented at install time - if one wished to keep these disabled at install time and then selectively enable them after installing, what is the method for doing so? I am doing a FreeBSD 12 install and was hoping to see instructions on how to do that in the 2.8.4...

Hi, I installed MariaDB version 10.4.6 from the packages (pkg install) and although everything works I can't seem to find the my.cnf anywhere. Anyone know if the installation hides a template someplace, or know where I can find a FreeBSD-tailored one?

Hello, I have been using FreeBSD many years ago and was mostly on Linux. There have been many developments that I don't really like, so I decided to go back to FreeBSD and try my luck once again. Here is my problem: I just installed FreeBSD a few weeks ago and am trying to tweak some stuff...

Ok, so I am having weird issues with NSD. I thought they were firewall issues but my pf rules seem good. To rule out firewall issues, I disabled pf and installed nsd on the main server instead of in any kind of jail. Once I have my config and zone file set, I run service nsd start and when I...
