Hello, I'm testing Comet Lake PCH CNVi WiFi with iwlwifi drivers in a Lenovo Legion 5, FreeBSD 14-CURRENT. 1. /etc/rc.conf: --- wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0" create_args_wlan0="wlanmode sta regdomain ETSI country PT" wlandebug_wlan0="+state +crypto +node +auth +assoc +dot1xsm +wpa" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP" --- Using my country PT (Portugal) instead of default US improved my download connection from 7Mbps to ~19Mbps 2. ifconfig wlan0: --- wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 6c:6a:77:df:09:21 inet 192.168.1.74 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 groups: wlan ssid MEO-3637C0 channel 100 (5500 MHz 11a) bssid 00:06:91:36:37:c1 regdomain ETSI country PT authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF AES-CCM 2:128-bit txpower 23 bmiss 7 mcastrate 6 mgmtrate 6 scanvalid 60 wme roaming MANUAL parent interface: iwlwifi0 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/36Mbps mode 11a status: associated nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> --- 3. I've added driver to rc.conf so it auto-loads at OS start: --- kld_list="if_iwlwifi ..." --- I'm using it for about 3 days without any problems. Daily use with torrents, facebook, youtube, git, fetch, ssh, sftp, etc. I can live happy with downloads at ~2,5 MB/s. It will be nice having iwlwifi drivers merged into CURRENT :) Thanks bz and all people involved in this work. Thanks FreeBSD Cheers, Nuno Teixeira PS: How do I check my wifi signal strenght?
