Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi WiFi?

[corvo.liu]

I tried to install freebsd several weeks ago on my laptop but the network doesn't seem to be working after I've installed the system(it works when I install the system somehow)

Do I have any luck with "Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi WiFi"? Is there some kind of tutorial? Thanks a lot!

IMO no hardware support blocks many users from using freebsd, and that's kind of a vicious cycle as few users means less code(especially for drivers), and as a result less users.

It appears the Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi WiFi is a AX201 (which is supported by iwlwifi(4)).

To make sure please show us pciconf -lv | grep -B3 network .

Is there some kind of tutorial?

Have a look in the handbook, Chapter 7.4. Wireless Networks

I've already followed that guide and failed recently, I'll take another look in a couple of days, Thanks!
