/boot/loader.conf

The rtwn driver in FreeBSD 11.0RC3 doesn't successfully load the firmware during boot; it errors with "timeout waiting for checksum report" (sys/dev/rtwn/if_rtwn.c line 2193). It does successfully bring up the wlan interface and authenticate to a network if I manually unload and reload the rtwn module.

Further information:

The kernel is entirely stock; make.conf is unaltered and nothing has been built from source.

Hardware is a Thinkpad X220 Tablet

Information that was previously buried in logs:

The network card involved in this BZ is a Realtek RTL8188CE.

Fixed in 12.0-RELEASE; for 11.0-RELEASE there is an older driver version at https://github.com/s3erios/rtwn, where this issue was fixed too.
