Hello,
After watching bz@ talk at this years EuroBSDCon, I learned that
iwlwifi supports 11a, but only on newer chipsets. My laptop connects
only to 11ng, but here's the weird thing: I see at least one WiFi
network on channel 36 through "ifconfig wlan0 scan". I thought that
11a is required to see channel 36, but as a total WiFi noob, I might
be totally wrong. Anyway, my question is how to check if my iwlwifi
is new enough and why do I see network on channel 36? Thank you!
s/11a/11n and 11ac/ a != ac
/bz
I used terminology found in ifconfig(8). Search for "mode mode" in that
man page, so I really wasn't trying to be smart. Does it mean that man
page needs an update?
Anyway, I guess being tired from EuroBSDCon trip back home made me
forget post the mandatory data, so I appologize. I run 15.0-RELEASE and
the card is
# pciconf -lv iwlwifi0@pci0:1:0:0:
iwlwifi0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x028000 rev=0x1a hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086
device=0x2725 subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0x0024
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Wi-Fi 6E(802.11ax) AX210/AX1675* 2x2 [Typhoon Peak]'
class = network
Is it new enough?

meka
