so yeah, passing passing the wireless nic to a freebsd vm worked

aru_: did you see cyber-tec.org/2019/05/29/using-bhyve-pci-passthrough-on-omnios

that's what I was following

nice, sounds like you got it working

yeah. And I must say I'm pleasantly surprised

still, there are some things that I didn't get to work yet

but I'll get there

let us know if there's anything we can help with, or at least point you in the right direction

I followed that article and tried using netbsd instead of freebsd, but that somehow failed when loading netbsd kernel modules. Then I tried openbsd and that didn't pick up the attached iso as bootable and fell back (fallbacked? whatever) into the efi shell. freebsd worked out of the box though

but that's not really an issue right now

would you recommend using zadm or just stick with the "standard" zone{cfg,adm} suite for regular use?

I use a combo, but mostly stick with zadm

openbsd worked last time I tested it, but haven't tried netbsd

What OpenBSD media did you use? The regular install iso?

aru_: I think I tried 7.2 (I see 7.3 is out now).

If you have `zadm show vmname` output it might be helpful. But I believe I booted under uefi bootrom and the piece I was missing andyf shared with me. Which was at the boot prompt type "tty com0"

or instead of zadm output you could share /$zonespath/$zonename/root/etc/bhyve.cfg

Afk for a bit

Just to mention - the design of `zadm` is deliberately such that you can happily switch between it and `zonecfg`. zadm does have a couple of things that can't be done otherwise like the VNC proxy and `boot -m` for UEFI guests - well you can do the latter but without the nice menu

Before it goes into the EFI shell, it says this ix.io/4BYO if that helps

boot -m ?
