FreeBSD 14.3 got a greatly improved support for Intel WiFi hardware (iwlwifi driver).

Finally, the AX210 (802.11ac) wifi card in my ThinkPad T480 works perfectly fine without having to rely on the wifibox workarround anymore.

IPv4 works perfectly fine
IPv6 work perfectly fine
Standby and resume woks
Speeds are phenomenal

Also the WiFi configuration is rather easy:

In /etc/rc.conf:
wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode sta regdomain ETSI country DE"
ifconfig_wlan0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"

In /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=2
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1

network={
ssid="Hoda-IOT"
scan_ssid=0
psk="my-secure-wifi-key"
priority=10
}

Amazing progress for FreeBSD on laptops :-) I really like it!

@stman @vidak @50htz @theruran @forthy42 I don't think #RONJA's development was actively sabotaged.

In fact, @BNetzA did extend frequency allocations for #BFWA useage and dedicaded the 5,8 GHz band to to #WISP|s that want to provide #broadband in rural areas.

  • So it's not the fault of RONJA or it's devs, but the fault of WiFi and proprietary solutions to have caught up.

Personally, I do wish for #OpticalLinks more because they are not just less prone to eavesdropping, but also less taxing on the increasingly scarce resource that is #RadioSpectrum and that we should be more mindful of, espechally since the solution to overcrowded #spectrum is rather obnoxious as in "dialing up power consumption to implement ever more complex coding schemes"...

  • Not to mention it's easier to secure an optical link and I think that it would be best if said system could universally tunnel any data, from Serial to USB and from 10/100M Ethernet to anything else, as having a "Universal Visible-light Optical Link" (maybe even call it "#UVOL", cuz "VOL" and "UVLOL" or "ULOL" may be too much of a bad take) could really do wounders.

Even if it can only do like 12Mbit/s for USB 2.0 it'll still be practical for many use-cases.

  • As you said: You want to focus on the "modem" part first...

@stman @vidak @50htz @theruran @forthy42 as for "protocol" I'd recommend to take a closer look at #IrDA since there are a shitton of cheap transcievers and implementations available and it would allow this to be reused for a secure P2P data exchange and secure contactless networking solution that is inherently harder (if not basically impossible) to eavesdrop on compared to #Bluetooth and #WiFi.

  • Plus it'll be a potentially better alternative to #LiFi for #Broadcast useage.

Not to mention I've not seen any IrDA devices >4MBit/s in the wild, with most being 9600bit/s #serial links fir the most part, and having a direct optical data exchange that takes literal seconds instead of minutes would really have a lot of good use cases i.e. in medical fields, where having a fully sterilizeable computer is kibda important and having a docking cradle with a charging coil and optical "port" would really be appreciated.

In fact ITU G.9991 (G.vlc) & IEEE 802.11bb are worth looking into as well just to see advantages and disadvantages...

Big news for FreeBSD laptop users!
Wi-Fi on FreeBSD is finally getting the overhaul it deserves.

✅ Modern driver support (like iwlwifi)
✅ WPA3 + next-gen protocol updates
✅ Up to 10x faster speeds in 14.3
✅ Real progress, real usability

Check out how the FreeBSD Foundation is helping shape a wireless future that just works:

💡 If you've held off on FreeBSD for lack of Wi-Fi support—2025 might change your mind.

Je sais pas si quelqu'un ici peut m'aider... J'ai un ordi avec une carte WiFi ASUS PCE-BE6500 (MEDIATEK Corp. Device 7925 -- Kernel driver in use: mt7925e) avec le WoWLAN activé pour les backups nocturnes (magic-packet seulement). Le problème, c'est qu'il se réveille bien pour se faire sauvegarder, mais aussi un peu n'importe quand. J'ai remarqué que plus il y avait de trafic sur le WiFi, plus il se réveillait souvent. Une idée ?
