Setup SSIDs in scan command
Hi!
Try to apply attached patch and recompile / reinstall the kernel.
(In reply to Andriy Voskoboinyk from comment #1) Learning how to apply patch and recompile / reinstall, now in step 0: svn checkout the src. Created attachment 173186 [details]
Setup SSIDs in scan command (2)
- Improve bitmask calculation.
- Set 'active' flag when needed.
(In reply to Andriy Voskoboinyk from comment #3) Sorry, Andriy. I have switched back to Linux, because of the graphics driver and this iwm WiFi driver, I am very new to FreeBSD world, and don't have too much time to spend on this when there is a lot of work to be done. Sorry, can't help to test for a while. This also occurs for me on 12-CURRENT with an attached Intel 8260 card. Perhaps I can test this. I installed an updated if_iwm.kld using the attached patch on 12-CURRENT and was able to successfully connect to my hidden WPA2 network. It was able to connect in both 11a and 11g modes. Thanks very much! Of course I meant I installed a new if_iwm.ko, not if_iwm.kld.
