hello i m searching for someone who already had compile iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode for a nic
it will be helpfull
thanks
i m looking for the comand to make this possible ...

There is no iwlwifi driver in FreeBSD/pfSense. There is iwm(4) or iwn(4).
What card are you trying to use exactly? And how are you trying to use it?

Edit: The Intel ax200? That's an 802.11ax card. No support for it in FreeBSD if so.

yes it s the ax200 i was trying to build a new driver from a freebsd a upload the ko file into the pfsense routeur , on intel site there 's the ucode file for unix , i was tring that...

stephenw10

The ucode file is the card firmware uploaded to it by the driver. It generally distributed as a binary blob, it isn't something you compile.
You still need a native FreeBSD driver to work with that and there isn't one as far as I know. There certainly isn't any 802.11ax support and only very limited 802.11ac support in FreeBSD. So it would be running at 802.11n if it could be made to work.
In addition all the Intel cards run in station mode only which means you cannot use it as an access point.

Use a different card if you want to run wifi directly in pfSense.

ok i see i am in the future...
well i have also an ac card but i don't know how to modify the kernel in pfsense to add the device
do you have the comand to do it?
thanx

generalflo

do i have to edit /etc/sysctl.conf
and add :
device iwm
device pci
device wlan
device firmware
device iwmfw

and
sysctl -p to apply?

stephenw10

No. If you have a card supported by iwm(4) then the driver is included.
You might need to load the firmware by adding the appropriate line to /boot/loader.conf.local

Put the card in and check the boot log.

Be aware that still doesn't support hostap mode.
