common linux-user FUD on FreeBSD forums:

> "modern wifi doesn't work!"
> "it won't run a desktop"

reality: user doesn't want to read docs/man/apropos

here's a Thinkpad X1 Nano:

  • KDE Plasma6 on FreeBSD 14.0R-p6
  • Intel AX201 wifi (basic wpa-supplicant params)
  • external travel monitor: plug-n-play, it just works

time required: 20 minutes of relaxed leisurely morning coffee sipping

@winterschon I installed Neon on a P14s and everything worked out of the box including WiFi, power management, the printer, and the fingerprint reader. Fantastic experience

@winterschon The wifi connects, but it runs at 1/10 the speed of the same device under Linux, and it won't connect at all if you try to configure IPv6.

I'm posting this from my IBM Thinkcentre m90q running Freebsd 14.0p6, and I can't wait for the work on the iwlwifi project to finish so we do get the same performance as Linux.
