Hi, guys,
I'm trying to setup wifi on my hp260 g2. But I can't figure out how to do it.
I've bought a qualcomm qcncm865 wifi card.
The system recognizes it: pciconf -lv gives me none1@pci0:some numbers. And device name has "wcn" in the name.
I've installed the kernel module: pkg install wifi-firmware-ath12k-kmod-wcn7820_hw20-20260410.
But after install I can't see it in /boot/modules/
I've tried restarting the system. But after the reboot I'm still unable to see anything loaded in kldstat. I can see bluetooth as my adapter is a combination of bluetooth and wifi. But no wifi.
I've tried installing wifi-firmware-ath12k-kmod-qcn9274_hw20-20260410 but it didn't help either.
I'd appreciate your help. What do I do wrong?
Use
pkg info -l wifi-firmware-ath12k-kmod-wcn7820_hw20
to see where the files are installed, then try to "kldload" them manually. They probably just do not end up in /boot/modules but somewhere under /usr/local.

You are using something FreeBSD based for WiFi while the general opinion here is that something Linux based is the better choice :)
