Description j4wq9pzbjnxb 2024-11-14 17:51:25 UTC
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.
