This important part for ax201 and ax200
setup of wifi interface

Code: Select all

## for internal wifi card
wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode sta regdomain FCC country US"
wlandebug_wlan0="+state +crypto +node +auth +assoc +dot1xsm +wpa"
create an interface for wifi networking.

Code: Select all

ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev iwlwifi0
Good examples of manually setting up a wifi network. Use this to help you overcome problems if NetworkMgr does not automatically setup your wifi network.

AX200 setup on GhostBSD Live inage

Post by wb7odyfred »

The config in rc.conf was wrong. It should have been

wlans_iwlwif0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

Then I created a wpa_supplicant.conf file with router and password details and ran

service netif restart

And everything was fine
AX200 works fine
So does AX200 Bluetooth

I'm thinking that windows fouls up the hardware but I'm just guessing
On Ubuntu 22 live everything works perfectly
Soon I'll install. Just testing the laptop for any hardware problems

My other laptop has ax200 without any windows. I'll see how networkmgr handles that
