WiFi configuration on FreeNAS

[Lucas Rey]

Hello community, I have the following MoBo for my freenas installation:
https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/H370M-ITXac/index.asp#Manual

The 2 LAN ports are used in LACP (lagg0) and they work perfect. I enabled the WiFi onboard module from BIOS, but I can't get interface on system (see below).
I'm not FreeBSD expert, so please, any advice?

Thank you
Lucas

It could be that there's no driver for that card in FreeNAS. Do you find it in dmesg?

Thank you for reply, here is the dmsg:

So you would need to do something that's clearly not supported by FreeNAS to make it work...

This guy made an unsuccessful attempt (possibly because the kernel modules he copied over are named in all caps and he didn't account for that in his load statements):

I'm not directly familiar with it, but it looks like you would need to load at least if_iwm to have something happen (you could copy the files to /boot/kernel and try kldload if_iwm.ko , if that works, you could then add a tunable to make it survive a reboot).

Also, you should not link to external content in this forum, paste the text directly in the message with code tags.

Thank you, so freenas is not supporting WiFi module. I'll search another way to do what I need! ;)

If you really need to access over WiFi, you could use a WiFi bridge. Alternatively, OMV supports WiFi cards as far as I know.

 

[Lucas Rey]

Do you mean WiFi to LAN?
OMV means?

 

[sretalla]

OMV means?
