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. {{< alert triangle-exclamation >}} This works for me sometimes. But random panics still occur! {{< /alert >}}
