> Sorry, I know this must be 10 steps backwards for most of you. > I just downloaded and burned to SDHC the new RPi3 12.2-Release and was so happy to see it "wake up"! but I have been trying for hours to get wifi up on it. I even resorted to plugging in 2 external wifi dongles, neither one of which i ever made work. but at least i found rtwn drivers in /boot/kernel. i know the wifi function is woven into the bluetooth controller, but I saw no fathomable (by me) connection to a driver. > I need help, Please. direct answers as to the driver name, links to places to read, whatever anybody is willing to share! I have successfully used run(4) and rtwn(4) devices on a RPI3B, you probably need to do one of: kldload if_run or kldload if_rtwn_usb The see if you have any wlan devices: sysctl net.wlan.devices If you do then see if you can create an interfaces: ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev run0 up or ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rtwn0 up If you get to that stage you should hopefully be able to do the /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf modes to get you on a network.. if not reach back and I can help you get that done.... > Gary Corell -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
