IWLWIFI(4)		    Kernel Interfaces Manual		    IWLWIFI(4)

NAME
       iwlwifi -- Intel	IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax wireless network driver

SYNOPSIS
       The   driver   will   auto-load	without	 any  user  interaction	 using
       devmatch(8) if enabled in rc.conf(5).

       Only if auto-loading is explicitly disabled, place the following	 lines
       in rc.conf(5) to	manually load the driver as a module at	boot time:

	     kld_list="${kld_list} if_iwlwifi"

       The  driver  should automatically load any iwlwififw(4) firmware	needed
       for the particular chipset.

       It is discouraged to load the driver from loader(8).

DESCRIPTION
       The iwlwifi driver is derived from Intel's  Linux  iwlwifi  driver  and
       provides	 support  for  all  chipsets supported by the mvm part of that
       driver.

       iwlwifi	will be	a successor to iwm(4) and may supersede	that driver in
       the future.  It still complements  the  iwn(4)  driver  which  supports
       older chipsets.

       The  driver  uses  the  linuxkpi_wlan  and linuxkpi compat framework to
       bridge between the Linux	and native FreeBSD driver code as well	as  to
       the native net80211(4) wireless stack.

       While  iwlwifi supports all 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax	the compatibility code
       currently only supports 802.11 a/b/g modes.  Support for	802.11 n/ac is
       to come.	802.11ax and 6Ghz support are planned.

BUGS
       Certainly.
