wifi driver for Intel 8265/8275?

[Anton Shterenlikht]

I've this wifi device:

***@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x00508086 chip=0x24fd8086 rev=0x78 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Wireless 8265 / 8275'
class = network

I tried iwn and iwm, but
the device is not recognised:

ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Device not configured

Is there a driver in 11.1-release I could try for it?

Thanks

Anton

After some searching, I understand iwn in 12-current
does support it. Can anybody confirm this please.

Thanks

Hallo Anton,

Not yet to my knowledge. At least according to the man pages it hasn't been merged yet https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwm&manpath=FreeBSD+12-current is the first version that mentioned 8265.

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=220229 is open for this already, and mentions that its complicated and depends on a number of other commits.

Yes, I've been using it for almost a year now. My h/w is slightly different to yours but the chip seems to be the same at least.

I did a fair amount of iwm MFCing already. Some of the newer changes
rely on changes that require kernel-side KPI changes which will not
get merged. I'm not planning on doing any further MFCs for iwm to
stable/11.
