laptop always reboot because of intel 8260 wireless

X

xwwu

Dear Friends,

My laotop is GigaByte P35x v6. The wireless network card is intel 8260.
I can
Code: 
kldload if_iwm
successfully. But
Code: 
ifconfig -a
just show me wire network card only.
No wireless at all.
If I config it to loader.conf or kernel.
When I reboot the laptop.
My laptop will reboot again and again,
even no changce to choose sigle user mod.

Waiting for help, mang thanks in advance.
 
Had the same issue. It would panic and reboot. This is the fix. Put it in /boot/loader.conf:

if_iwm_load="YES"
iwm8000Cfw_load="YES"


EDIT: Also don't forget to create the wlan0 device afterwards. Either doing this manually:
ifconfig create wlan0 wlandev iwm0
or in /etc/rc.conf:

wlans_iwm0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" (or whatever setup you need)


Another EDIT: Your FreeBSD is reasonably up to date? IMHO the support for 8260 was added not very long ago.
