Are there any updates on the mt76 driver on #FreeBSD ? I'd only need wifi to get it running on this and while I do have an AX200 PCIe card I'd rather not have to add more components to this build. The on board wifi is MediaTek 7921 which should be supported by mt76. I'd be willing to help test it if the development is public.
This is especially important since MediaTek is taking more and more space in the AX wireless world.
Maybe I should make a post on freebsd-wireless.

I myself don't using the chipset, but possibly related: firmwares on ports.
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D54201As seen in it, it landed last December, so both latest (aka main) and 2026Q1 quarterly branch of ports tree should has it unless reverted.

@TomAoki well the firmware is in ports, but according to this, "work is ongoing"

I've got a weird issue on my #FreeBSD ThinkPad. Since setting up lagg yesterday which worked fine. I powered off last night and then switched it on this morning. I noticed that I had no network access on either the re1 interface or wlan0. I powered off and on and it worked. I have since discovered that if it doesn't work if I just doas service netif restart it starts to work again.
This is my lagg setup in /etc/rc.conf
# WiFi
wlans_iwlwifi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA SYNCDHCP"
cloned_interfaces="lagg0"
ifconfig_lagg0="up laggproto failover laggport re1 laggport wlan0 DHCP"
This is the output of ifconfig when it's working:

I should note that running doas service netif restart once it's working makes it fail again.
Any ideas ??

Se fosse stato per i soldi che gli ho dato io non si sarebbe potuto permettere neanche l'antibiotico per lui, figuriamoci per la moglie.

RichiH has a strong message to kick this one off, definitely saying what everyone is feeling
