+
+Finally. `if_iwlwifi` works on my WiFi network at home!
+
+Those are the relevant parts in my `/etc/rc.conf` configuration file.
+
+```ini
+static_routes="thor_lan thor_wifi"
+route_thor_lan="-net 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.1.1"
+route_thor_wifi="-net 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.1"
+
+ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
+create_args_wlan0="country AT metric 100 ssid AP1"
+wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"
+ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
+
+create_args_wlan1="country AT ssid AP2"
+wlans_run0="wlan1"
+ifconfig_wlan1="WPA SYNCDHCP defaultif"
+```
+
+In fact I only made a single change to the suggested options from the handbook.
+
+```ini
+create_args_wlan0="regdomain ETSI2 country AT"
+```
+
+As you can see, I removed the `redgomain ETSI2` part. I've also tried _ETSI_ so
+far but that also didn't work.
+
+This works with a Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650 card. I haven't tried this with the
+Intel AX200(NGW) card that originally was built into my laptop.

+This works for me sometimes. But random panics still occur!
