30.Os 31.Sh NAME 32.Nm iwlwifi 33.Nd Intel IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax wireless network driver 34.Sh SYNOPSIS 35The driver will auto-load without any user interaction using 36.Xr devmatch 8 37if enabled in 38.Xr rc.conf 5 . 39.Pp 40Only if auto-loading is explicitly disabled, place the following 41lines in 42.Xr rc.conf 5 43to manually load the driver as a module at boot time: 44.Bd -literal -offset indent 45kld_list="${kld_list} if_iwlwifi" 46.Ed 47.Pp 48The driver should automatically load any 49.Xr iwlwififw 4 50firmware needed for the particular chipset. 51.Pp 52It is discouraged to load the driver from 53.Xr loader 8 . 54.Sh DESCRIPTION 55The 56.Nm 57driver is derived from Intel's Linux iwlwifi driver 58.Pp 59.Nm 60will be a successor to 61.Xr iwm 4 62and may supersede that driver in the future. 63It still complements the 64.Xr iwn 4 65driver which supports older chipsets. 66.Pp 67The driver uses the 68.\" No LinuxKPI man pages so no .Xr here. 69.Em linuxkpi_wlan 70and 71.Em linuxkpi 72compat framework to bridge between the Linux and 73native 74.Fx 75driver code as well as to the native 76.Xr net80211 4 77wireless stack. 78.Pp 79While 80.Nm 81supports all 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax 82the compatibility code currently only supports 802.11 a/b/g modes. 83Support for 802.11 n/ac is to come. 802.11ax and 6Ghz support are planned. 84.Sh HARDWARE 85The 86.Nm 87driver supports PCIe devices from the 88.Em mvm 89sub-driver with the following chipsets: 90.Pp 91.Bl -bullet -compact 92.\" --------------------------------------------------------------------- 93.\" This list is
