Wifi on FreeBSD

April 16, 2026

For those who are using WifiBox if you get this error :

“WARNING: PPT device pci0:3:0:0 could not be destroyed”

The solution, if you are using an AMD, is to add in /boot/loader.conf :

hw.vmm.amdvi.enable=1

passthru will then be allowed.

This is working with a Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 (not the best supported natively yet)

Here my config for /etc/rc.conf

wifibox_enable="YES"
ifconfig_wifibox0="SYNCDHCP"
background_dhclient_wifibox0="YES"
defaultroute_delay="0"
And in /boot/loader.conf

vmm_load="YES"
ppt_load="YES"
if_tap_load="YES"
hw.vmm.ppt_devs="3/0/0"
pptdevs="3/0/0"
hw.vmm.amdvi.enable=1
