no, i have used intel ax201 , the speed was 30Mbps in LANCan't see any difference in wifi speed
15Mbps max

Same speed![]()
Than, mine looks like is also waste of time to install:I cannot seem to be able to get more than 100Mbps. Moreover, on FreeBSD I can connect only to my 2.4GHz network.
My device is:

Thinkpad T495 but I think wifi card is old too - Thunder Peak.fernandel I think we have the same laptop if I remember correctly. Thinkpad L420? At any rate, the wireless card is the same, and in my case, on the laptop, there was no improvement. On a Beelink EQR6 with an AX200, it brought wireless up to Linux speeds.
Now DRM is broken.
A new FreeBSD-kmods repository is included in the default /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf pkg(8) configuration file. This repository contains kernel modules compiled specifically for 14.3-RELEASE rather than for the 14-STABLE branch. Installing kernel modules from this repository allows drivers with unstable kernel interfaces, in particular graphics drivers, to work even when the main 14-STABLE repository has packages build on a previous release. (a47542f71511).
Much obliged, working now! I did see that but presumed updating packages would be OK, but obviously you have to manually remove the kmod and firmware packages which came from the old repository, re-add them, and they download from the new.![]()
FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE Release Notes

spent the last few hours trying to figure out what went wrong with thie upgrade. had to revert to 14.2 using BE - and on that now.![]()
FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE Release Notes
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms.www.freebsd.org
Within 14.3 release, a new repository beside of freebsd repository is added. This repository only contains kernel modules, kmods, for correct kernel versions. You need to install drm-kmod right from this repository. See pkg's -r flag which means for specifying repository for install and upgrade commands. Gonna sleep now, almost 4 am.spent the last few hours trying to figure out what went wrong with thie upgrade. had to revert to 14.2 using BE - and on that now.
To fix this do I use BE to boot into 14.3
Then delete drm-kmod using pkg
Then pkg update
Then pkg install drm-kmod
Is that the sequence or am I missing something? I tried it and it didn't work somehow. Thinkpad here, Intel
Thanks I followed this reply by making a repo under `/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/kmods.conf` and copying what the email said - now it works. Phew wish this was just built into the upgrade.

You did right. There are another means, but this one works. It actually uses FreeBSD-kmods.spent the last few hours trying to figure out what went wrong with thie upgrade. had to revert to 14.2 using BE - and on that now.

Yes, your "FreeBSD" repository is pointing to the FreeBSD-kmods repository, the FreeBSD-kmods repository only contains a few kernel modules, it's not a 'full' repository.Have I broken something?
Not broken that cannot be mended; for an overview and check of pkg conf setting, see thread, message #66 and subsequent messages.Have I broken something?
that's weird - in my /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf i see. I only remember adding another kmods repo under same directoryYes, your "FreeBSD" repository is pointing to the FreeBSD-kmods repository, the FreeBSD-kmods repository only contains a few kernel modules, it's not a 'full' repository.

If you want to keep using the quarterly repositories, just delete your /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf and any other you might have. Both the FreeBSD and FreeBSD-kmods repository are defined by default in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf on 14.3. All -RELEASE versions default to quarterly repositories, only -STABLE and -CURRENT default to the 'latest' repositories.how do I fix it?
I believe that would be: /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.confIf you want to keep using the quarterly repositories, just delete your /usr/local/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf

This is a incorrect repository directory location (surely a typing error from you). Unless it's overridden by REPOS_DIR variable, the defaults are /etc/pkg/ and /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos, which makes the custom repository configuration file location /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf (see pkg.conf(5)).you can make one file /usr/local/etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf
