Question about a much needed driver

[giocitta]

Hi,

advanced thanks for a kind answer.

Any news as regards the Mediatek MT7921 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless driver for freebsd 14.1-RELEASE?

It looks like they are currently fluffing around due to the LinuxKPI layer being in a state of continual flux.

It was working for a bit... but then broke again.

Put it in a box, buy a cheap USB wifi dongle instead and keep re-checking every year or so?

Thanks, kpedersen. I'll try to keep re-checking every year or so. I hope to survive (88 years old)!...

I'm sure you will outlive the hardware! Though you may want to leave an instruction in your will to keep checking. That way the driver can become your grandkids problem.

I am tempted to put in my will an instruction for my future grandkids to gloat and stir the pot on all the forums I used to be a member on when i.e the Steam DRM platform inevitably shuts down
