The Intel AX210 (Wi-Fi 6) card does not currently support Access Point (HOSTAP) mode in the iwlwifi driver for FreeBSD. The system logs display the message 'HOSTAP mode not supported,' indicating that this mode is not available. Is there any estimate timeline for when support for HOSTAP mode will be implemented in the driver. root@name:~ # uname -a FreeBSD name 14.1-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p5 GENERIC amd64 root@Router:~ # kldstat | grep iwlwifi 3 1 0xffffffff82820000 93260 if_iwlwifi.ko root@name:~ # dmesg | grep iwlwifi iwlwifi0: <iwlwifi> mem 0xfe900000-0xfe903fff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci6 iwlwifi0: Detected crf-id 0x400410, cnv-id 0x400410 wfpm id 0x80000000 iwlwifi0: PCI dev 2725/0024, rev=0x420, rfid=0x10d000 iwlwifi0: successfully loaded firmware image 'iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-83.ucode' iwlwifi0: api flags index 2 larger than supported by driver iwlwifi0: TLV_FW_FSEQ_VERSION: FSEQ Version: 0.0.2.41 iwlwifi0: loaded firmware version 83.e8f84e98.0 ty-a0-gf-a0-83.ucode op_mode iwlmvm iwlwifi0: Detected Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX210 160MHz, REV=0x420 iwlwifi0: WRT: Invalid buffer destination: 0 iwlwifi0: WFPM_UMAC_PD_NOTIFICATION: 0x20 iwlwifi0: WFPM_LMAC2_PD_NOTIFICATION: 0x1f iwlwifi0: WFPM_AUTH_KEY_0: 0x90 iwlwifi0: CNVI_SCU_SEQ_DATA_DW9: 0x1 iwlwifi0: successfully loaded firmware image 'iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm' iwlwifi0: loaded PNVM version 181407b3 iwlwifi0: Detected RF GF, rfid=0x10d000 iwlwifi0: base HW address: 28:d0:ea:xx:xx:xx iwlwifi0: HOSTAP mode not supported iwlwifi0: HOSTAP mode not supported iwlwifi0: HOSTAP mode not supported iwlwifi0: HOSTAP mode not supported iwlwifi0: HOSTAP mode not supported iwlwifi0: HOSTAP mode not supported iwlwifi0: HOSTAP mode not supported root@name:~ #
