I am having a hard time trying to get WLAN work on the Thinkpad T520 with its Centrino 6300 wifi card using 13.0-RELEASE-p8.
/boot/loader.conf :
/etc/rc.conf :
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf :
Whatever I try, wlan0 does not appear when looking at
On another computer with the Intel 8265 this exact configuration (except for iwm8265fw_load="YES") works just fine.
I suspect there is some firmware problem. With iwmfw_load or specifying particular firmwares, like in the config shown above, I had no success.
(Edit: I tried the 6000, 6000g2a, 6000g2b and 6050 firmwares to no avail. Could it be that the 6300 firmware is missing?)
(Edit 2: How I hate the default vt newcons setting! The font was microscopically small, so I misread "iwn" for "iwm", as it was shown on the 8265, and, thanks to good old sc console on the other computer, readable without microscope. After changing the "iwm" settings to "iwn", the wlan gets associated, but traffic does not work yet.)
Any idea?
