The iwm firmware for 8265 was not loaded, if command sudo sysctl net.wlan.devices shows nothing
Add line iwm8265fw_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf file to load IWM firmware for Intel 8265 wifi chip device.
I think these two drivers are conflicting with each other. I have a Intel Wireless iwm chipset in one computer. So I would remove iwlwifi driver

Make sure you get the Wifi firmware loaded. That you have firmware in the proper directory, for the driver to automatically load it.
Code: Select all
pciconf -lv
usbconfig list
usbconfig -d ugenX.Y dump_device_desc
Where X and Y are numbers matching your USB Wifi device.
Looking for the exact Vendor and Product ID for the chipset in your pc

Q: Which is the best supported chipset?
A: Not sure there is an answer. Based on demand I am currently mostly testing on AX200 and AX210.
Q: Does this driver support the AX210 from the Framework Laptop?
A: Yes it does.
Q: Upon start we associate and immediately drop back and associate again. What is going on there?
A: After associating the firmware/driver reports beacon losses or connection loss and subsequently we take the state down to recover. On second attempt we seem to usually succeed.
A: It is unclear as to where this behavior comes from but similar reports were seen from Linux users in the last two years and speculations are that it could be a firmware issue.
Q: How do I stop devmtach from automatically loading if_iwlwifi?
A: Add devmatch_blocklist="if_iwlwifi" to rc.conf.
A: Similar you can also prevent iwm(4) from being loaded if you want to try iwlwifi(4).
There is a Helpmywifigo.sh file on the Telegram Channel. Just search there. That will get the required documentation when run chmod +x helpmywifigo.sh ; sh helpmywifigo.sh >my_iwlwifi_wix.txt
bsd-hardware.info and

Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
following lines in loader.conf(5):
