Strange.

My laptop running FreeBSD 14.0-R-p6 locked up during resume - it's been years since I had this issue. Power cycled it, and now my wireless device won't show up. I think I'm too tired to debug now, will look at it in the morning. Bummer though, hope it's not a hardware failure due to resetting the laptop while the wireless device was being initialised.

Try that:

  • Poweroff laptop.
  • Remove all batteries.
  • Wait 30 seconds.
  • Put batteries back.
  • Power on.

@vermaden aye! I'll try that, thank you!

@vermaden removed laptop battery, waited 10 minutes, put it back. wlan0 is back! Thank you :D

(Follow up edit: suspended again, resumed okay, but the wifi device keeps disconnecting and reconnecting, a reboot later it has again vanished. I'm suspecting this is hardware failure)

@harshad @vermaden if there’s a separate WiFi card inside, try reseating it, cleaning contacts. Could be a thermal issue if it worked after cooling down?
