Created attachment 242933 [details] It recognizes my wifi device I've been trying to install a clean version of FreeBSD 13.2 from the USB stick, everything works fine, if I don't enable my wireless. I have an Asus M515DA notebook, and it is wireless only. The symptom is the same both during the installation and after the installation, I activate the wireless. It displays that WPA_SUPPLICANT was active but interface was not. I also tried with an iso that I generated from the Source of github, it gives the same error, but at the time it recognizes the wireless networks and when I put the network password, it gives a kernel panic.

Do you have the pciconf -l information for the wireless card so we know which chipset it is?

(In reply to Maurício Nunes from comment #5) Okay, so it's a RTL8821CE. Just asking, do you have the loader.conf tunable set to the following? compat.linuxkpi.skb.mem_limit=1
In fact, I didn't even touch the loader.conf because the error occurred during the installation. With that I install without network, adjust the loader.conf and then try to install the wi-fi?
(In reply to Maurício Nunes from comment #7) Oh, nice flaw. I should ensure that the installer does the right thing when I do more of that hopefully later this month. You can also stop the loader when booting to the installer, manually type in set compat.linuxkpi.skb.mem_limit=1 boot -v and see if that helps. Otherwise, yes, install without wifi, boot, set it in loader, configure wifi, reboot and see what happens then.
Let's go to the report: I made 2 attempts, the first one changing the installation boot. This recognized the card, all right, but when scanning the networks, it did not show any. The 2nd attempt: I continued the installation without a network, and when logging into freebsd, I changed the loader.conf and restarted again. I changed /etc/rc.conf wlans_rtw880="YES" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP" I ran the: service netif restart wlan0 correctly appeared with my card data. after configuring wpa_supplicant and starting netif, wlan0 disappeared and only came back after restarting the PC After that I restarted several times and wlan0 already appears UP and with the IP of my network. and the ifconfig wlan0 scan worked correctly
