freebsd-wifibox: Intel wifi broken since 6.2 (iwlwifi) on AC 9560

I have an Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz, REV=0x354 that has been working fine but is now broken on all versions since 6.2. I’ve attached logs of good and bad below. Let me know if there is anything more I can do to help. I’m happy to do some testing if needed or just carry on using v6.2

Running on Freebsd 13.0-RELEASE

wifibox_fail_8.0.tar.gz wifibox_good_6.2.tar.gz

The dmesg in 6.2 was as follows.

I implemented my proposal in 14c89b9d80432aebbbfcccc8e3a03513c690c301 if you want to check it @brokentoaster .

Thanks for the update. I have recently added some hints to the manual page on how to stop the native driver loading via using devmatch. Basically, these lines have to be added for /etc/rc.conf:

devmatch_enable="YES"
devmatch_blocklist="if_iwm if_iwlwifi"

Besides that, I would recommend you to enable logging in $ETCDIR/wifibox/core.conf and check (share) the logs from /var/log/wifibox.log to see why the guest could not start up.

pgj on Apr 21, 2022

OK I’ll try an upgrade to 13.1RC2 and see how that goes.

Booting into an Alpine 3.15.4 install with kernel 5.15.32 seemed to work

I’ll give it another reboot to make sure it works from a cold start. dmesg_good.log

Sorry @pgj I missed your post. No luck with that one either.

I’m going to boot into alpine 3.15 directly and have a play, see if that reveals anything.

brokentoaster on Apr 13, 2022

Linux 5.15.33 has just been released with a couple of iwlwifi fixes, maybe that is something we can benefit from. I will create an image with this kernel version that you can test.
