wifi/bluetooth module not supported?

so i have a 1 liter mini machine that has the following wifi/bluetooth card. no support for it on freebsd install

Device-2: Intel Wi-Fi 5 Wireless-AC 9x6x [Thunder Peak] driver: iwm
bus-ID: 0:6:0.0 chip-ID: 8086:2526
Bluetooth:
Device-1: N/A type: USB driver: N/A bus-ID: 0-0.5:5 chip-ID: 8087:0025
Report: No OS support. Is a comparable bluetooth tool available?



any chance post install there's something to be done?

setup wi-fi using he Handbook, then reboot and see if the wi-fi icon is on. For blue tooth is more elaborate. Maybe not possible.
it's just the bluetooth i was wanting to set up. i have a cat 6 cable for my pc which is much moire stable and faster than wifi. It didnt get any drivers for the bluetooth during install and inxi is claiming no os support..
 
That's fine, just means that no device was found nearby.

For example if I set my phone visible I get:

it's there the 9260 just like they said it was.

my rc.conf blocks my system from booting. specifically if i enable these commented out linesfor kld_list and devmatch. with those two lines enabled xorg is unable to detect any screens
 
Are you trying to configure wifi? You don't need those in kld_list, read iwm()

The FreeBSD 15.0 installer should detect and download the firmware, it did it for my 7260, be aware that these models won't connect to wireless N networks, only a/b/g

Back to bluetooth, what are you trying to connect? whatever device it is should be in pairing mode/visible, (on Android phones it means you must open the bluetooth settings)
 
i havent yet tried to connect anything. i cant detect that i have a working bluetooth on my system yet.


ok so i turned on bluetooth on my phones and ran

hccontrol -n ubt0hci inquiry

so those are my phones? so the thing's working then?
 
Bluetooth is still experimental in FreeBSD. At least in legacy laptop the Bluetooth icon is lit when FreeBSD boots. In a box is not visible so, one must use inside FreeBSD.

I had to use a procedure for my Lenovo T520 to enable Bluetooth to listen to (very low) music in my earphone.
