wifi firmware ath11k unable to load ?

[unixuser8]

Hi there, this is my first BSD install on real hardware, so sorry if the question is noob.
I installed freebsd15 on my laptop, while install it detects the wifi card I believe because it installs "wifi firmware ath11k kmod wnc6855 hw2.0". It is located in /boot/firemware/.../hw.2.0.bin.

The laptop wifi's card : Qualcomm QCNFA765

The sysctl net.wlan.devices outputs nothing. So I added into /boot/loader.conf < ath11k_load="YES". Still nothing about wifi. The wifi card is still not visible in sysctl neither in ifconfig, so I here to ask what am I missing. Only the lspci aquivalent show the pci card but with no driver attached.

Thank you and have fun.

I check the flavors section in this website

FreshPorts -- net/wifi-firmware-ath11k-kmod: Firmware modules for the ath11k (ath11k) WiFi NIC driver

Firmware files for QCA WiFi NICs supported by the ath11k driver.

www.freshports.org

And it doesn't list a flavor for your model of wifi device: qcnfa765.

ALso when i googled it, i saw that someone tried wifibox for making it work under freebsd using a tiny linux vm.

So my conclusion is, unfortunately it is not supported with a native driver.
