00:02:35 <deimosBSD> it was totally because i fat fingered the binary paty
00:02:38 <deimosBSD> it was totally because i fat fingered the binary path
01:01:14 <polarian> hi deimosBSD
01:01:20 <polarian> glad you figured it out :D
01:02:55 <deimosBSD> it turns out /usr/localbin/binary doesn't work ;)
02:27:50 <spaciouskarter78> FreeBSD 15 hardware supported wifi drivers list says that my wlan card is supported by the kernel but when I installed FreeBSD the wifi didn’t work
02:28:11 <spaciouskarter78> Realtek 8852BE Wi-Fi 6 (RTL8852BE) Is my wifi card
02:31:02 <polarian> spaciouskarter78: I dont remember any 802.11ax cards being supported
02:31:24 <polarian> even if they were supported, 802.11ax isnt within the ieee80211 stack
02:31:37 <polarian> so it would only be able to use 802.11ac
02:33:27 <polarian> the latest driver support was iwlwifi but thats intel, and rtwn is only for 802.11n/ac realtek cards
02:36:41 <spaciouskarter78> polarian https://www.freebsd.org/releases/15.0R/hardware/#wlan
02:38:24 <SponiX> riceandbeans: wow, as common as sshd is I would think it crashing  often for many folks would be something fixed quickly
02:38:39 <polarian> wow err
02:38:44 <polarian> they really did LinuxKPI a lot
02:39:07 <polarian> spaciouskarter78: is there anything under dmesg
02:39:12 <polarian> did you kldload if_rtw89
02:39:37 <polarian> it should automatically load
02:39:43 <polarian> but make sure
02:39:48 <polarian> and check for any errors within dmesg
02:40:12 <spaciouskarter78> polarian should I run the command named “dmesg”?
02:40:16 <polarian> oh wait I saw it
02:40:18 <polarian> nvm
02:40:20 <polarian> its because of missing firmware
02:40:22 <spaciouskarter78> As well as kldload?
02:40:24 <spaciouskarter78> Oh
02:40:28 <spaciouskarter78> How do I fix it?
02:40:32 <polarian> pkg install net/wifi-firmware-rtw89-kmod
02:40:38 <polarian> and then reboot
02:40:44 <spaciouskarter78> Thanks a lot I’ll try that now and see if it works
02:41:52 <polarian> running fwget should also fetch it
02:41:59 <polarian> or so the man page says
02:42:06 <polarian> but installing the port would definitely work
02:43:59 <spaciouskarter78> polarian and for connecting to the wifi on kde what should I use? Networkmgr or wifimgr?
02:44:10 <polarian> those are Linuxisms
02:44:20 <polarian> wifi on freebsd is done via wpa_supplicant usually
02:44:29 <polarian> the freebsd handbook goes over it
02:44:53 <polarian> personally what I do is "ifconfig wlan0 scan" when you are looking for ssids
02:45:36 <polarian> then "wpa_passphrase <ssid>", then enter the passphrase, and then write it to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
02:45:58 <polarian> then you can "pkill -HUP wpa_supplicant" (as root, use doas/sudo otherwise) and it will reload the config
02:46:12 <polarian> I think there was a wifi gui being developed for GSOC but I dont know much about it
02:46:28 <polarian> thats how I do wifi, it works well, but I know it isn't very user friendly
02:46:47 <polarian> for the most part I avoid wifi though, and just use ethernet
02:47:19 <spaciouskarter78> Ssid is the name of the wifi?
02:47:59 <spaciouskarter78> Sorry I never interacted with networks at such a low level before
02:48:47 <polarian> spaciouskarter78: sorry yes ssid is the "wifi name"
02:49:03 <polarian> someone else might be able to provide a more elegant solution, or KDE settings might be able to handle it for you
02:49:22 <polarian> I dont use KDE though, I just i3 with xorg, and my setup is very minimalist
02:49:42 <polarian> so I urge you to try connecting through KDE first, see if its GUI can do it all for you, otherwise what I explained above works but is not user friendly
02:52:29 <spaciouskarter78> polarian the wifi card somehow got detected automatically
02:53:01 <polarian> spaciouskarter78: well considering this is new to 15.0 I dont expect it to be the most stable
02:53:09 <polarian> I stick to 802.11n cards for that reason
02:53:12 <polarian> they just work (mostly)
02:53:21 <polarian> plus I run an old laptop
02:53:55 <spaciouskarter78> I ran ifconfig wlan0 scan but it doesn’t return anything
02:57:24 <spaciouskarter78> I tried installing the port you mentioned let’s see what happens
02:57:27 <spaciouskarter78> Restarting rn
02:59:21 <spaciouskarter78> Nope no luck
03:03:50 <spaciouskarter78> polarian found the problem
03:04:07 <spaciouskarter78> The entire system crashes when I attempt to scan for wifi
03:04:26 <spaciouskarter78> I tried ifconfig wlan0 up scan and my pc crashed
03:26:03 <polarian> spaciouskarter78: by "crash" do you mean a panic?
03:26:24 <polarian> if you get get the logs I can relay it to the wifi nerds
03:26:25 <spaciouskarter78> it freezes up when i run the command and just restarts after making loud beep noises
03:26:39 <spaciouskarter78> what logs can i provide?
03:32:45 <spaciouskarter78> i just opened a bug report on bugzilla about this: bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294429
