Hello, I tried to install FreeBSD 12.0 on a new Intel NUC 8i3BEH. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get wifi working. It has Intel Wireless AC 9560 (see the 'iwm0@pci0' entry in the attached output of pciconf -lv).
It seems that the iwm driver supports intel wireless series 8000, but there is no support for 9000 yet. I made some quick hacky attempts to use 8000 driver for it (using same code with newly added firmware), but that failed: The card was recognized and firmware was loaded, but there was no notification that it was alive (iwm_alive_fn in if_iwm.c was never called). I am attaching the last version of my patch, which also includes a lot of debugging enabled (without the newly added firmware) and a corresponding dmesg output. I tried several versions of the firmware code (various versions from linux firmware packages and one recommended by Intel in https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html), but none of them worked. Unfortunately, I will need to get that machine working rather soon, so I will probably not be able to do much more testing of FreeBSD there this time, but I am writing here my experience in case it could be helpful. Greets, Richard
