Bugged during installation. Initial scan: no network found. Second scan: found eduroam and other networks. Connection to eduroam failed (there wasn't time for me to photograph the details – late afternoon, I was leaving the office). All subsequent scans: no network found. <https://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c06977947> 'Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (2x2) and Bluetooth® 5.2 combo' appears once on page 25, again on page 27. I can't guess why there are two listings (and I probably don't need to know; this computer will not be mine). Keyword: bsdinstall, I guess. <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246126> (2020-05-02): > bsdinstall fails to report wireless network scan failure – glancing at Ed Maste's comment 0, it's possible that I encountered the same, or similar. I might not have another opportunity to retest with this particular hardware, but if I do (maybe early Monday morning): I'll take photographs. <https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/283d1b98251b7ff1e53b43d3f0264c2a087f207b> (2022-04-21) was the update to RC4. ---- Side note: <https://support.hp.com/gb-en/product/hp-zbook-firefly-15.6-inch-g8-mobile-workstation-pc/2100188570/model/2100188578/manuals> offers (amongst other things) a Maintenance and Service Guide and a User Guide. Neither page is found, this is typical of HP's websites.
